Corporate Taxation
We cover all aspects of taxation for your business and personal taxes whether you are a sole trader, working as a partnership or the owner of a company.
INCOME TAX SELF ASSESSMENT
We can help you avoid penalties by ensuring that your returns are correctly completed and submitted on time, with backup records retained for the right length of time.
CAPITAL GAINS TAX AND ESTATE PLANNING
When it comes to capital gains tax, inheritance tax and trusts to manage your affairs, we can help with every step of the way.
CORPORATION TAX SELF ASSESSMENT
The levels of enquiry and penalties from HMRC are increasing all the time, making expert advice and help more important than ever.
We will complete your corporation tax return and tell you when and how much tax you need to pay, including quarterly instalment payments if relevant. We will correspond with HMRC on your behalf, taking the burden away from you.
Also, we can give you advice on planning opportunities, including tax efficient ways of extracting profit for business owners.
VAT
VAT compliance is becoming increasingly difficult. The level of intensity of VAT investigations has increased over recent years, making it all the more important that your VAT returns are completed correctly.
VAT control visits are usually made within the first few years of trading and then once every few years. If you let us do your book-keeping and VAT returns, these visits need not be a worry, as you can be sure returns will have been accurate and compliant.
ON THE FRONT FOOT –
TAX PLANNING TO SAVE YOU MONEY
Completion of tax returns and statutory tax obligations are only half the job a good accountant should be able to offer you.
Whilst we all have to pay our taxes, there are many ways to arrange things in advance so that you can save tax and make sure you are not going to be liable for more than is necessary.
ON THE BACK FOOT – HMRC INVESTIGATIONS AND DISPUTES
With the complexity of tax law and the increase in HMRC investigative activity there is inevitably room for argument, and even perfectly ordered tax affairs do not make you immune from costly investigation. We can help in the following ways:
TAX INVESTIGATION FEES INSURANCE
Whether or not your tax affairs are in a good state, if HMRC choose to investigate you, the professional support you may need can be costly. To protect you against such an unexpected cost, we can arrange for insurance to reduce the impact on your business.
AUDIT AND COMPLIANCE
An audit can help reduce the chances of any problem arising in the course of an HMRC investigation.
In addition, whilst most smaller businesses will not be required by law to have an audit, there are other good reasons for having one nonetheless:
An audit involves a detailed review of the company's accounting systems and systems of control. It also requires a detailed understanding of the company's business. Such a review and knowledge can highlight business opportunities to improve turnover and profit or reduce costs.
An unqualified audit report can improve the view of not only HMRC, but also banks and other lenders or investors, and also suppliers who may be seeking credit references, etc.
A history of accounts with clean audit reports can help if you ever wish to sell the business.
The risk of fraud can be reduced and the possibility of an audit can put off any potential fraudster.
