Taxation

Tax Planning

We offer practical advice and planning to arrange your tax affairs to best advantage, while keeping within the law. We work on all our clients' tax affairs in the background each year, with the aim of mitigating tax liabilities. Significant resources are invested in our people and the technology we use to ensure we can always give best advice in all tax fields, personal and corporate. All clients wish to reduce current and future tax liabilities and by developing a close partnership with us we can help our clients make the right decisions on all their tax affairs.

Personal Tax

Our clients have peace of mind that we get the basics right, preparing their tax returns correctly to meet the statutory deadlines.

The added value element that enhances the service we provide to clients is the proactive advice we give with the aim of mitigating tax liabilities, including income tax, capital gains tax and inheritance tax.

Corporation Tax

Our clients have peace of mind that we get the basics right, preparing their corporation tax returns and tax computations to meet the statutory deadlines. We look to minimise your corporation tax exposure whilst complying with the ever changing tax legislation and increased reporting obligations. Working in partnership with you, we can provide advice and solutions to complex corporate tax issues alongside mitigating the corporation tax where possible.

Capital Taxes

We possess the in-house expertise to advise our clents on capital gains tax and inheritance tax. Planning ahead is crucial for capital taxes and we help clients plan to minimise what can be substantial tax liabilites, whilst avoiding the potential pitfalls in these complex areas.

VAT

Value Added Tax is extremely complex and forever changing and is an area we offer clients many different cost-effective solutions. Our services include help and advice on registration and appropriate VAT schemes right through to preparation of VAT returns accurately, ensuring the VAT has been correctly accounted for. We continually reveiw clients' VAT to ensure that the amounts paid over are correct and to ensure an alternate scheme is not available to reduce the liability or improve cashflow.

PAYE/NIC

We run a payroll bureau which many clients consider is a more cost effective solution than purchasing and maintaining their own software. All statutory forms and year end returns are completed for our clients who are advised of their PAYE and NIC liability monthly. Employment legislation is becoming more complex every year and clients find our advice on areas such as statutory sick pay, statutory maternity pay, redudancy and ex-gratia payments to be invaluable.

Tax Investigations

By preparing all statutory returns corectly, meeting statutory deadlines and having a good tax compliance reputation, tax investigating are kept to a minimum. However, although the likelihood of a tax investigation can be mitigaged by robust compliance, HMRC's new robust investigation policies and harsher penalties make our expertise invaluable if an investigation arises. We will lead you through this stressful time, resolving the investigation in the most efficient, cost effective and timely manner possible. We also provide a tax investigation insurance scheme, which for a small annual premium protects you against the cost of receiving a tax investigation from HMRC.
