It’s a common complaint that the UK tax system is too complicated.
Whatever your view our experts are here to help.
We work closely with clients to help them plan manage their tax affairs in the most efficient way possible.
You can expect clear, jargon-free communication of the issues and an experienced professional you can trust.
Corporation tax services
Under Corporation Tax Self Assessment (CTSA), the legal responsibility for calculating corporation tax falls on business owners. We understand the issues facing owner-managed businesses and can prepare tax returns in a timely and efficient manner. We will also calculate your company's tax liability and assist with the calculation of any quarterly instalment payments due.
The increased reporting obligations, investigation policies on the part of the tax authorities and harsher penalties for non-compliance mean that your time and resources can be taken up with tax administration. We will help to minimise corporate tax exposure and relieve the administrative burden of compliance with current tax legislation. Effective corporate tax planning can also result in significant improvements in your bottom line.
VAT
Ever changing regulations and the growing demands of HMRC mean VAT compliance can be difficult. We help you ensure that you comply with the regulations and that overpayments are not made. To help you manage this complex area, we provide an efficient, cost-effective VAT service, which includes:
- assistance with VAT registration
- advice on VAT planning and administration
- use of the most appropriate scheme
- VAT control and reconciliation
- help with completing VAT returns
- planning to minimise future problems with HMRC
- negotiating with HMRC in disputes and representing you at VAT tribunals if necessary.
HMRC Investigations and Enquiries
Being the subject of a tax investigation or enquiry by HMRC can be stressful and worrying. We have a wealth of experience in dealing with HMRC investigations, whether they are enquiries into an individual’s Tax Return, more detailed enquiries into a company’s affairs or employer-related investigations into PAYE and P11d compliance. If you are the subject of an investigation, we can provide expert help and support.
Tax Investigation – Fee protection
With the increased risk of such investigations, we offer tax investigation cover to all of our business clients as an investigation will likely result in additional accountancy work being undertaken. The amount of work will depend upon the complexity of the case but the cost could be substantial. Cover is included as standard for all our incorporated business clients and available as an add on to companies via our business support package.
