Our Services

Tax is a major cost for you, your family and your business; you cannot let it prevent you from achieving your goals but you can’t let it become a goal in itself.  We will work with you to minimise your tax liability and help you realise your objectives.

Personal tax

Our personal tax planning team, working alongside our financial advisers, can help you to plan your finances and allow you the freedom to enjoy a comfortable and secure future.

Corporate tax

Your tax bill is a big hit on your cashflow and accounts. You need to know that everything possible has been done to minimise the cost, and you need to know what the cost will be in plenty of time. The last things you want are eleventh-hour surprises, or paying unnecessary amounts of tax.

We can ensure you adopt the best tax and accounting procedures, make the right claims and, in the case of companies, carry out the best restructuring of Groups. These can all save you significant amounts of tax and prevent those nasty shocks.

Self Assessment

We can give you peace of mind; the knowledge that your tax return will be completed accurately and submitted on time. We can assist you in collecting all the necessary information to complete your return and explain your obligations under the self-assessment system in plain English. We will provide guidance on claiming all the reliefs and allowances to which you may be entitled.

We will calculate your liability and advise you how much to pay and when, in plenty of time to avoid any unpleasant surprises. We can take the fear out of any correspondence with HM Revenue & Customs; from dealing with day-to-day queries on your behalf, to providing full support during an enquiry or investigation. Talk to us about this as we can help.

VAT

Despite being called ‘the simple tax’ when it was introduced, VAT matters can range from the relatively straightforward to the extremely complex. All businesses are affected by VAT to some extent and a lack of awareness or understanding of the tax can lead to serious problems. We are always happy to discuss the needs of a business, and provide cost-effective input to resolve any VAT issues.

Reward and Employee Tax

The biggest single cost faced by most businesses is the cost of employing its people. Those people are the most important part of the organisation, and without them there would be no business.

Being an employer can be a nightmare. Each year brings an increase in the legislative burden associated with employment, be it changes to employment law, employment taxation or reporting requirements. Add to this the difficulty of attracting, motivating and retaining good quality staff in a tight labour market, and it becomes vital to have robust strategies to deal with all employee-related matters.

Our Reward and Employment Tax Consulting team has many years experience of assisting businesses to maximise the return on the investment they make in their people. Whatever issues you face, we can help. Whether you need assistance to become compliant with employment tax legislation, have fallen foul of HM Revenue & Customs, want to introduce tax efficient incentive structures, or want to reduce staff turnover, we are with you.
