Strategic tax support

We act as your outsourced, strategic Head of Tax, bringing clarity, confidence and continuity to your tax strategy, so you can stay focused on running your hotel business and delivering exceptional guest experiences.

We work with CFOs, FDs and finance teams across the hotel sector, from independent operators to established groups and multi-site portfolios, providing senior-level tax insight without the cost and commitment of a full-time hire.

In the hotel industry, tax often only comes into focus when a challenge checks in. You’re balancing VAT complexities, employment taxes, property acquisitions and disposals, refurbishments, franchise arrangements, capital investment and growth plans. Without dedicated tax leadership, it can be difficult to identify the risks and opportunities that matter most.

But tax isn’t just about avoiding surprises at the front desk. With the right advice, it can unlock value through capital allowances, reliefs, incentives and efficient structuring that supports profitability, investment and long-term growth.

Whether you’re refurbishing, expanding or planning your next stage of growth, we’ll help ensure your tax strategy is always checked in and working hard behind the scenes.

Supporting hotel transactions at every stage

At HaysMac, we help hotel owners, operators and investors navigate transactions with clarity and confidence. Bringing together corporate finance, transaction support, tax and private client expertise, we provide joined-up advice that reflects both the commercial objectives of the deal and the wider implications for shareholders.

A successful transaction is rarely just about signing on the dotted line. It is about preparation, timing, structure and maximising value at every stage of the journey.

Our integrated transaction services and corporate finance teams help hotel businesses become deal-ready, navigate complex transactions and unlock opportunities for growth.

We advise across private and public market transactions, supporting independent hotels, multi-site groups, management teams and investors on acquisitions, disposals, fundraising and strategic growth plans.

For businesses considering a flotation, our Capital Markets team has extensive experience acting as Reporting Accountant on IPOs and RTOs, helping management teams meet regulatory requirements, identify issues early and ensure everything is checked in before the market opens its doors.
