Tax Returns and Self Assessment

Tax Returns can be completed for Individuals and sole traders, Partnerships and Limited Companies.

The self-assessment regime is full of penalties and HMRC enquiry powers are extensive. It's important that returns are correctly completed and filed on time.
All records are backed up and retained for the appropriate period of time.

As well as the completion of your return we can assist with advice on your tax liabilities, negotiating with the Collector if necessary, identifying suitable tax planning opportunities, completing all the necessary tax computations and dealing with all correspondence from HMRC, taking the worry away from you.

Tax Planning

You are entitled to arrange your affairs to pay the absolute legal minimum amount of tax. Whilst completion of tax returns and statutory tax obligations are important jobs, all accountants should be capable of completing them and advising you of your tax position and liabilities. We try to do more than just this and are interested in maximising your tax planning opportunities.

We can help with tax planning in relation to;
Personal taxes
Business taxes
VAT Planning
Capital Gains
Profit extraction strategies
Exit strategies
New clients are often surprised at how much can be done to help with their tax position. We are always willing to go that extra mile to offer advice on the areas where tax can be saved. It is important that this work is done in advance and you should contact us as soon as possible.

For VAT registration we can assist with;
Advising if you need to or if it would be beneficial to register;

Advising on the best VAT schemes to use suitable to your business - some you have to notify HMRC you are using and some you don't.
