Tax Returns and Self-Assessment - we aim to make this as painless and hassle free as possible. We keep our eyes open for tax saving opportunities, advise you how much tax is payable, and let you know when it's due.

Tax Planning - Completing a tax return and calculating your tax liability is important, but that's only part of our work.

We think it makes sound financial sense to minimise your liabilities with effective tax planning.
There are various ways of making sure you pay no more tax than you must. We have extensive experience and success in identifying exactly how you can do this.
Ask us for help with all aspects of tax planning, including Income Tax, Corporation Tax, Capital Gains Tax, Inheritance Tax, VAT and Stamp Duties.
All our Tax Planning makes legitimate use of current tax law.

Business Tax

Corporation Tax - Paying corporation tax can be very expensive for a profitable business. You must meet filing obligation deadlines, with stiff penalties for non-compliance.

We can help minimise those liabilities by dealing efficiently with all related matters, including preparing computations and submitting the corporation tax self-assessment return online.

Incorporation Advice -  please see Company Formations

Partnership Tax - please see under Self-Assessment tax.

Capital Gains Tax - advance planning can result in significant savings. We help clients with planning, and deal with entering the details on your self-assessment tax return.

Research and Development Tax Credits - there are significant tax incentives available to businesses that include some element of research and development. As with most things to do with saving tax, you don't benefit automatically; it needs to be identified and claimed. At a basic level, research and development is defined as 'trying to create something that hasn't previously existed, be it a new product or a new process'. We help our clients identify such situations and get the tax breaks.

Contractors and IR35 - We work with you to develop the accounting system that suits you best. Some people like to maintain their own accounting records, whilst others prefer us to deal with everything. We offer both Xero and Sage software in-house, but are happy to work with you if you already keep your accounting records using Kashflow or other software.
