Corporation Tax
With the introduction of Corporation Tax Self Assessment (CTSA), companies now need to fully understand the duties and responsibilities placed on them under this regime. We offer advice on:-
Record keeping requirements
Minimising the overall liability
All relevant claims and deductions
Calculation of the corporation tax liability
Corporation tax payment deadlines
Form CT600 filing deadlines
CTSA enquiry parameters
The penalty system
R&D tax credits
Agreeing your corporation tax liability with the Inland Revenue is principally achieved by completing a company tax return. Understanding this complicated tax system and paying the correct amount of tax, at the correct time, through the correct mechanism, is what most clients seek. Speak to our experienced tax technicians and put your mind at ease. We will also seek to identify means to reduce your tax liability.
Payroll
Free your time by delegating your payroll processing to professional outsourced service providers. As payroll becomes more and more complex, time consuming to process and expensive to operate, many businesses are now outsourcing this tax administration function to a specialist service provider.
As outsourced payroll service providers we are responsible for wages processing, PAYE/NI compliance, all IT issues, stationery procurement and maintaining the general confidentiality of this sensitive information.
We offer a complete payroll bureau facility, to free your time and allow you to concentrate on running your business:-
You advise us of the gross pay, for a weekly, fortnightly, four weekly, monthly or quarterly pay periods. We calculate the net pay, supply you with security payslips and advise you how much PAYE and NI to pay the Inland Revenue
We can advise you in relation to the legal requirements for offering your employees access to stakeholder pensions
We prepare all necessary forms when an employee leaves
Preparing end of year returns P35 and P60/P14s, before filing these with the Inland Revenue in advance of the statutory deadlines
Providing ongoing ad-hoc support for all of your wages queries
Preparing forms P11d and calculating the resultant class 1a NI liability
Advising you in relation to the payroll implications of IR35
Advising you of the journals necessary to update your computerised accounting records
Tax efficient remuneration planning
As well as releasing your time and ensuring the quality of wages administration, outsourcing this function will usually save you money. We will be responsible for software updates, purchasing stationery and staff absenteeism cover. We will also ensure that you pay no more PAYE/NI tax than you absolutely have to.
Management Accounts
Blue Sky can help you with the design, content, format, preparation and circulation of the weekly, monthly, quarterly management accounts that are produced to assist in the internal management of your company. Although the primary aim of such internal management accounts is to report the performance and financial position of the business to management, we can structure this reporting to also advise you on the following:-
Divisional/Branch results
The creation of an annual budget and the reporting of actual performance against this budget
Reporting performance against comparative periods
The identification and reporting of key performance indicators (KPIs) and key performance ratios
Costing information, including break-even turnover levels
Attending finance/management meetings to report on the management accounts and advise accordingly
Managing and improving a business requires timely and accurate financial information. Reduce your cost base, and release your valuable time, by outsourcing this key support service to us. As well as giving you peace of mind that this side of the business will now run smoothly, this will also enable us to offer valuable advice on the future running of the business.
Statutory Accounts
Every company is required to prepare statutory accounts – to comply with Companies Acts and HM Revenue & Customs legislation.
Statutory Accounts provide shareholders, investors, creditors and other interested people information about the company’s financial position and dependent upon the size of the business, typically include:
Accounting policies
Balance Sheet
Cash-flow Statement
Director’s Report
General Company Information
Profit & Loss account
Notes to the Annual Accounts
These accounts have to be filed at Companies House within 9 months of the year end.
VAT Returns
All businesses regardless of their size need to accurately record their accounting transactions during the course of the year to ensure that they comply with tax legislation. It is critical your accounting records are kept up-to-date and that VAT Returns, if applicable, are prepared and submitted on time, quarterly or monthly to avoid automatic penalties for late filing. It also helps you deal with any queries if a VAT inspection takes place.
VAT inspections can be stressful and time consuming so having Blue Sky staff prepare your VAT Returns can reduce the risk of a VAT inspection. If there is an inspection we can assist you to ensure that an inspection is completed as quickly as possible and with minimal disruption to you.
