Taxation

We work closely with you using our extensive experience and knowledge to ensure you pay the minimum tax required by law. This can include reviewing the way your business is set up or looking at alternative operating methods to increase your after tax profits. We will help you to understand the tax implications of your actions, in order that you can plan ahead and conduct your affairs in a tax efficient way.

Tax protection

With the increased activity of HM Revenue and Customs the risk of you suffering enquiries, reviews or investigations has risen significantly. We offer a scheme to protect you and your business from unexpected costs that actions by HM Revenue and Customs may cause. For a small annual charge we can then offer support in most of these enquiries with no further cost to you or your business in terms of our fees. These interventions by HM Revenue and Customs include:

  • Tax Investigations
  • Payroll reviews
  • VAT Reviews
  • Record reviews

Corporation tax services

As part of our services we can complete all necessary Corporation Tax Returns whilst at the same time reviewing the transactions to ensure tax efficiency. We actively work with you to help minimise the tax due in a legal and cost efficient manner. These reviews can help to ensure not only are you tax efficient but they also strengthen your business to increase the profits left for you to reward your hard work.

Personal Tax (including sole-traders and partnerships)

We are specialists in income tax, capital gains tax and inheritance tax planning.

Self Assessment

We can take the pain of the self-assessment system off your hands. Using our knowledge and experience we complete the self-assessment returns on your behalf and then file them for you. This then allows us to provide practical advice on your personal tax positions and identify planning opportunities available to you to help minimise your tax liability. In the event of queries and disputes over amounts due we can talk directly to HM Revenue and Customs on your behalf.

Estate and Inheritance Tax planning

Inheritance tax is becoming an issue for more and more of us. Giving your affairs an early review increases the opportunities to ensure that your hard earned assets and wealth is passed to whoever you chose as intact as possible and minimising the amounts of inheritance tax due.

For this planning to work and be effective care must be taken to ensure all structures put in place are completed correctly. We can work with you and a solicitor of your choice, if this is necessary, to put the plan and legal framework in place

VAT

Whilst VAT appears a simple tax it is in fact a very complicated system with many confusing rules and regulations that come into play when you are VAT registered. Mistakes can easily be made and HM Revenue and Customs are imposing ever more penalties for errors and omissions, even if innocently made.

As ever we can work with you using our experience and knowledge to negotiate this complex area. We can help with one off problems, general enquiries, detailed VAT planning and the basic processes to ensure VAT returns are submitted on time and accurately. We are happy to complete and file the returns using your records and calculations or by compiling your bookkeeping information for you. We also offer the service of giving your VAT return a “sensibility” check before submission if you would like a pre-submission review to identify potential problems.
