Specialist online accounting for carpentry

Do you run a carpentry workshop or make furniture to measure? We know that accounting for a carpenter is more than entering invoices. It means separating materials from labour, settling advance payments on orders and correctly classifying finished goods. At Luno-Group we keep online accounting in which every element of production has its place, so you know exactly where your profit comes from.

As an accounting firm for furniture makers, we understand the specifics of working with your own materials: wood, boards, fittings and lacquers are costs, while made-to-order furniture is a finished product that must be settled correctly. An experienced accountant will ensure the correct treatment of sales to private individuals and businesses, machine leasing and any exports, so you can focus on the workshop rather than the regulations.

Who is this accounting service for?

Carpentry workshops and made-to-measure furniture

For carpenters and firms making furniture to order from their own materials: kitchens, wardrobes, fitted units, staircases and bespoke joinery.

Makers of wooden products

For furniture manufacturers and makers of wooden components who sell in series or as one-offs and need to settle both materials and finished goods.

Carpenters selling to private clients and businesses

For workshops serving individual clients (a cash register may be required) and businesses, including sales with installation and the export of furniture abroad.

What does accounting for a carpenter cover?

Materials and finished goods

We separate the cost of materials (wood, boards, fittings) from labour and correctly classify finished furniture as a product or merchandise in your settlements.

Advance payments and deposits on orders

We settle advance payments and deposits on made-to-measure furniture over time, in line with the stages of the order, so that revenue is recognised in the correct period.

Lump-sum tax rate and comparing forms of taxation

Manufacturing from your own materials usually carries a different lump-sum tax (ryczalt) rate than an installation service. We will analyse your business, compare the forms on your figures and show you the numbers - the decision is yours.

Sales to private clients and businesses

We handle sales to private individuals (with a cash register where required) and to businesses, ensuring correct invoices, receipts and VAT records.

Leasing and depreciation of machinery

We account for leasing and the depreciation of carpentry machines and workshop equipment, so you make full use of the costs and deductions linked to your machinery.

Furniture exports and EU VAT

When selling furniture abroad we handle the settlement of exports and intra-EU transactions (VAT-UE), the filings and the documents on which the 0% rate depends - without a complete set of proof of export, the domestic rate applies.

You send documents through the Client panel, with no travel or queues, and we keep your online accounting in a way that suits you, in Polish or English (PL / EN). This gives you peace of mind, punctuality and contact in a language you understand.

Frequently asked questions

Before you entrust us with your workshop's accounting.

How do you settle materials and labour in furniture production?+

We separate the cost of materials (wood, boards, fittings, lacquers) from labour and correctly classify finished furniture as a product or merchandise. This way you can see the real margin on orders and have orderly cost documentation.

How are advance payments and deposits on made-to-measure furniture recognised?+

We settle advance payments and deposits on orders separately for income tax and separately for VAT, because the regulations treat them differently. Under PIT, amounts collected towards supplies of goods and services that will be made in later reporting periods are not revenue (Article 14(3)(1) of the PIT Act) - revenue arises only when the furniture is handed over or the service is performed. Under VAT it works the other way round: the tax obligation arises when all or part of the payment is received, including a prepayment, an advance payment and a deposit (Article 19a(8) of the VAT Act), so we issue an advance invoice and settle the VAT in the month of payment. We keep track of both, which matters on longer made-to-measure furniture projects.

Which lump-sum tax rate applies to a carpenter?+

It depends on the nature of the business. Manufacturing furniture from your own materials usually carries a different lump-sum tax (ryczalt) rate than an installation service alone. An experienced accountant will analyse your workshop, compare the forms of taxation on your figures and determine the correct rate - the decision is yours.

Do I need a cash register when selling furniture to private individuals?+

Sales to private individuals often trigger an obligation to record them on a cash register. We will check your situation, the thresholds and any exemptions, and establish whether and when a register will be needed in your carpentry workshop.

How do I settle the leasing and purchase of carpentry machines?+

We account for operating or finance leases and the depreciation of machines and workshop equipment in line with the regulations. We will ensure correct posting of instalments, running costs and VAT deductions linked to your workshop's machinery.

Will you handle the export of furniture abroad?+

Yes. When selling furniture to other EU countries and outside the EU, we handle the settlement of exports and intra-EU transactions (VAT-UE), registration as a VAT UE taxpayer, the filings and the VAT rate that follows from the regulations. The 0% rate is not a matter of choice: on an intra-Community supply of goods it requires the buyer's VAT UE number, proof of export collected before the deadline for filing the return, and registration as a VAT UE taxpayer (Article 42(1) of the VAT Act); on export it requires a document confirming that the goods have left the territory of the EU (Article 41(6) and (6a)). We keep these documents complete, because without them the domestic rate applies.
