  Taxation Services

As tax advisers, our objective is to work closely with you to ensure you pay the minimum tax required by law. 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.

Corporation Tax calculator1

Corporation tax represents a substantial part of your trading costs if you are operating as a Limited company. Under Corporation Tax Self Assessment (CTSA), the legal responsibility for correctly calculating the corporation tax liability falls on business owners. Moreover, the increased reporting obligations, robust investigation policies on the part of the tax authorities, and harsher penalties for non-compliance mean that an undue amount of your time and resources can be taken up collecting revenue for the Government.

We understand the issues facing owner-managed businesses and can prepare tax returns in a timely and efficient manner. We will also calculate your company's tax liability and assist with the calculation of any quarterly installment payments. We offer a range of services to help you minimise your corporate tax exposure and relieve you of the administrative burden of complying with tax legislation. These include:

  • determining the most tax effective structure for your business
  • taking full advantage of tax opportunities and relieves
  • achieving the optimum capital or revenue tax treatment
  • reducing tax on disposals and maximising relief on acquisitions
  • making the most of tax opportunities specific to your industry
  • efficient corporate tax planning that can result in potentially significant improvements in your bottom line.

Personal Tax

We specialise in income tax and capital gains tax. We can save you a lot of time, worry, and money by handling your self assessment for you. Every pound of income tax you save means more income at your disposal. As they say: 'money saved is money earned'.

We have the expertise and software to take the headache out of the form filling and compliance aspect of Self Assessment. We can provide you with practical advice on personal tax positions and the planning opportunities available to you. We can complete tax returns, calculate any tax liability and advise you on exactly when to make payments and how much to pay. We will:

  • do all the necessary computations
  • complete your return, and
  • offer advice on how you can minimise your tax liability
  • Personal tax planning

Today, more and more emphasis is being put on taxpayers' individual responsibilities and everyone who is subject to taxation needs professional advice and support if they are to optimise their tax position and ensure they meet the compliance requirements. Our specialist tax team can provide you with year-round advice on all aspects of personal taxation.

VAT

Value added tax is one of the most complex and onerous tax regimes imposed on business - so complex that many businesses inadvertently overpay or underpay VAT. Ever changing regulations and the growing demands of HMRC mean VAT compliance can be a difficult administrative process. We can help to ensure that you comply with the regulations and that overpayments are not made. To help you manage this complex area, we provide an efficient, cost-effective VAT service, which includes:

  • assistance with VAT registration;
  • advice on VAT planning and administration;
  • use of the most appropriate scheme;
  • VAT control and reconciliation;
  • help with completing VAT returns;
  • planning to minimise future problems with H M Revenue & Customs; and
  • negotiating with H M Revenue & Customs in disputes and representing you at VAT tribunals if necessary.

Tax Planning

Like any other discipline, tax responds as well to good planning and control as any other business cost. We believe that all clients, be they individuals or companies, are different and need individual tax strategies. These strategies ensure that liabilities are known in advance and that maximum benefit is derived from allowances through forward planning. They also ensure that all tax matters including preparation and filing of tax returns are dealt with in time in order to avoid last minute rush and hefty penalties and interest.

Tax is usually seen as a burden and is left to chance. we believe that forward planning of tax can accrue, not just peace of mind but substantial cost savings as well.  Make sure you take full advantage of the tax saving opportunities open to you - call us today for a tax planning review.

Tax Investigations

Being the subject of a tax investigation by the Inland Revenue can be a stressful and worrying experience. With the onset of personal and corporate self-assessment, Revenue staff can now review cases on a 'sample basis'; consequently, tax investigations have become more frequent. We have a wealth of experience in dealing with Inland Revenue investigations, whether they are enquiries into an individual’s Tax Return under the Self Assessment regime, more detailed enquiries or employer-related investigations into PAYE and P11d compliance. If you are about to be the subject of an investigation, we can provide expert help and support.
