MHA’s expert travel team draws on vast experience across the sector and the knowledge of our international colleagues and partners in the Baker Tilly International.
Travel and tourism firms don’t need to be told they face threats and challenges. The sector was one of the hardest hit by the pandemic and energy costs, global tensions and the need to transition to net-zero all rightly dominate our thinking. However, these are opportunities as well as challenges.
MHA’s entrepreneurial team helps with the day-to-day running and strategic development of businesses, including taxation, audit and regulatory requirements, as well as business planning and preparations for the next disruption to the industry.
Our clients and partners range from SME travel agencies to tour operators and travel management companies. MHA’s expert team knows the specific nuances of the travel and tourism industry. We can work with you on:
- Dealing with employment tax issues and the engagement of workers
- Licensing and protection support including ATOL, ABTA, IATA and TTA
- Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) requirements such as the APC
- Completion of travel sector regulators annual accountant's reports (such as CAA, ABTA, ABTOT)
