Our Services for Beauty Business Owners and Cosmetic Salons

Accounting and Expense Categorization

If you are a licensed business owner in Netanya or the owner of a beauty salon, you need professional accounting services. We collect your receipts (treatments, product sales, provision services), categorize expenses (employee salaries, cosmetic product purchases, rent, electricity, insurance), and update your records in real time. This saves you errors and valuable time.

Annual Report and Tax Authority Reporting

Every year, licensed business owners and companies must submit an annual report to the Tax Authority. For cosmetic businesses, the report includes income, allowable expenses (tools, products, employee salaries), and capital statement. We prepare the report, update the business register if required, and ensure no pending details are left unresolved.

VAT and Periodic Reporting

If your salon in Netanya is registered for VAT, you must file a VAT report every two months or quarterly (depending on business volume). We calculate the VAT you need to pay, update the report with the Tax Authority, and ensure you are not overpaying.

Payroll Management and National Insurance

If you have employees at your salon or beauty center, we handle monthly salary calculations, payslip generation, mandatory deductions (national insurance, income tax, pension), and rent deductions if applicable. Every payslip is precise and compliant with the law.

Tax Planning and Tax Refunds

In beauty businesses, there are often expenses that can be deducted from profit — products, tools, professional training, and even part of rent if you work from home. We check which expenses are allowable and how they can reduce your taxable profit. If you are an employee entitled to a tax refund, we also handle that.

Common Questions from Cosmetics Business Owners in Netanya

Do I need an accountant if I'm a licensed cosmetics practitioner?

It's not mandatory, but it's highly recommended. Without an accountant, you are responsible for the annual report, VAT calculation, and updating the registry of practitioners. An error in the report can result in a fine from the tax authority. With an accountant, you reduce risk and save time.

How much does accounting services cost for a cosmetics practitioner?

The fee depends on the scope of activity, number of employees, and complexity of reporting. A small licensed practitioner costs less than a private company with multiple branches. At the initial consultation meeting, we provide an accurate estimate based on your situation.

How do I report income from cosmetic treatments?

All income from treatments is reported as business income. If you're a licensed practitioner, it goes into your annual report. If you're a private company, it's reported in the financial statement. It's important to maintain proper receipts and documentation — this is proof to the tax authority that the income is genuine.

What expenses are deductible in a cosmetics business?

Allowable expenses include: purchase of cosmetic products, tools and equipment, employee salaries, rent (proportional share), electricity, water, insurance, telephone, and professional courses. It's important that every expense is supported by a receipt or invoice.

Do I need VAT if I'm a small practitioner?

It depends on your income level. If your annual income exceeds a certain threshold, you are required to register for VAT. If you're registered, you pay VAT on products and equipment you purchase. At the meeting, we check whether it's beneficial for you to register and what the implications are.

What is the annual report and how long does it take to prepare?

The annual report is an official record of the income, expenses, profit, and capital of the practitioner or company. We prepare it according to your data and submit it to the tax authority. Usually, it takes a few weeks if the books are up to date.

How do we handle employee salaries in a cosmetics business?

Each month, we calculate salaries, deduct national insurance and income tax, and update the national insurance and tax authority. Each employee receives a detailed payslip. We also handle annual reports for employees.

What if I have an expense I'm unsure is deductible?

Let's talk about it. Generally, we check if the expense is directly related to the business. If it is, it's deductible. If you're unsure, at the meeting we explain the rule and help you decide.

How do we help an employee who does cosmetics work on the side?

If you're an employee with additional income from cosmetic treatments, we check if you need to report it, what expenses are deductible, and if you're eligible for a tax refund. Sometimes, allowable expenses can reduce your taxable income.

What if I have a tax question during the year?

We're available for questions year-round. You can email us, contact us on WhatsApp, or schedule a short meeting. This is part of our service.
