Tax

The whole subject of taxation can be incredibly sensitive – are you paying too much, are your filings accurate, what if HMRC comes knocking? But tax does not need to be taxing with the right accounting partner looking after you.

Tax encroaches on every aspect of our lives, from employment and business decisions to estate planning, capital gains, VAT and the multitude of strategies which will ensure that you pay everything you are required to pay. Below are a few of the headline tax services we offer, but no matter the query, challenge or worry, we are here to manage your tax needs.

• Business Tax

  Your business is subject to a wide range of tax obligations and opportunities and our goal is to ensure that everything you are required to do is completed like clockwork and no opportunity for reduced responsibilities or increased rewards is ever ignored. Our business tax service falls under three defined headings – tax compliance, tax consultancy and planning, and tax investigations.

• Employment Tax

  Meeting your HMRC obligations as a business is just the starting point. We want to make sure that your tax process is optimised to save you time and money. Pay As You Earn (PAYE) compliance is managed effectively and efficiently by our Payroll department. Furthermore, our tax team can guide you through the complex maze of regulations and compliance requirements of the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) and PAYE Settlement Agreements (PSAs) which, if done correctly, can streamline your company’s tax situation so much that you could literally save days of unnecessary paper pushing each year.

• Personal Tax

  Our team is here to offer a full range of personal tax compliance and consultancy advice and support to ensure that your filings are always completed in compliance with the often rapidly changing expectations of HMRC. Atop this, our Chartered Tax Advisors also offer a full suite of wealth and inheritance tax planning services to ensure that you are able to protect more of the wealth you have accumulated or wish to pass to others.

• Tax Fee Protection Service

  An HMRC enquiry – on you or your business – can be a costly and worrying experience. So, why not give yourself a little extra peace of mind with our tax fee protection service. It covers you for our fees should you need help during an enquiry or a compliance check.

• Tax Enquiries and Investigations

  If you find yourself in HMRC’s crosshairs, step one is to get a tax specialist onboard so that every delicate step of the process is handled correctly to reduce the time, stress and cost of this experience. Having worked on so many of these over the years we have the experience required to minimise your tax exposure, no matter the challenge. In fact, early communication between us and HMRC is highly recommended so that HMRC is comfortable that a professional is assisting you.

• Tax Planning and Structures

  Our team of Chartered Tax Advisors and Chartered Accountants are here to offer guidance on tax-optimised national and international business structures, capital gains tax, inheritance tax, tax efficient extraction of profits and/or assets, corporation tax mitigation and so much more.

• VAT Planning and Advice

  This transaction tax impacts almost every aspect of our lives, from business transfers and decisions on the structure of a new commercial venture to a one-off property transaction. Our expertise in VAT compliance, special VAT accounting methods and VAT schemes mean that we have all the know-how needed to advise you on how to plan a smarter VAT strategy.

If you are looking for a firm with decades of experience in saving clients from the unnecessary costs and stresses of their tax obligations, we would be delighted to speak with you.
