Personal Taxation

Are you required to make a self assessment tax return? Can you self assess? The return is getting more and more complicated. The calculation itself is even worse. Missing deadlines for submitting your return and paying the tax due can be costly. We can take the worry out of it for you. We can complete the form, calculate the tax due and let you know when to pay it. We can also make sure that you are making the most of your allowances and are claiming everything you are entitled to. Even if you are not on self assessment you may be paying too little tax. If so you may face an unexpected tax bill somewhere down the line. Or even worse, you could be paying too much tax. Come in and see us and we can do a "tax health check" to make sure that your affairs are in order. You may be glad you did.

Tax Planning

Money invested in good tax planning is never wasted. Some simple measures can be taken to reduce your likely liability to capital gains tax, income tax, corporation tax, inheritance tax, National Insurance Contributions and VAT. The list is almost endless, as are the opportunities. Recent planning exercises recently undertaken have included the succession to a family business, the acquisition of a company and the tax efficient provision of company cars. We don't sell "schemes" like some other accountants, we look at each case separately to see what will benefit you most, both from a tax and a commercial point of view.

Tax Investigation

The Inland Revenue has the power to look into your tax affairs without giving any reason; this can include your own affairs, your company , your payroll, your VAT. It's a sobering thought that you can be doing everything right and still be investigated. The Revenue may try to argue that you have undeclared income and you have to prove your figures are correct. That is where we come in. We have a wealth of experience in investigations that we can use to help you. There may be no tax to pay at the end of the day but your professional fees in defending yourself can be high. We can arrange insurance to cover you against the costs involved in such situations to at least give you peace of mind when it comes down to your fees.

VAT Advice

Vat Advice VAT is supposed to be the simplest tax of all. "It's just a matter of subtraction after all." The truth is far from that. VAT has become one of the most complex areas of tax where the structure of a deal can cost thousands of pounds, and once the deal is done it cannot be fixed. It is vital that you seek professional advice on any deal before it happens. We can make sure that you take the most VAT efficient route in structuring any transaction, from buying or renting a property to the purchase of a business. We can liaise with your lawyer or solicitor to ensure that any agreements drawn up take advantage of any VAT planning schemes available. It's not just the big deals where VAT can be saved. Every day businesses pay over too much VAT to Customs & Excise because they are not aware of the issues relating to aspects of their business. We can help out in these areas and negotiate with Customs to minimise your VAT liability.
