Taxation

Company Taxation

 

Letting us take care of preparing and submitting your Corporation Tax Self Assessment returns can increase your profits.

 

We can offer best practice advice to help you minimise your company tax liabilities, so you can ensure the most tax efficient remuneration for your directors and shareholders.

 

Tax Planning

 

The changing taxation landscape, particularly for SMEs, can be a minefield for many businesses.

 

With our help, you can make sure you're making major financial decisions with all the information you need to hand. In our experience, we find too many businesses get it wrong because they haven't sought out professional advice and/or planned effectively. Our service can set you on course and help you avoid a potentially costly tax bill further down the line.

 

Personal Tax

 

We provide a range of services to help individuals manage their personal taxation arrangements. We can advise you on all your payment liabilities, including tax deductible items which can lessen your overall tax liability by reducing total taxable income.

 

Plus, with much of this process now online, we provide a very responsive, user-friendly service. We'll even complete all the relevant pages in your personal Self-Assessment returns on your behalf.

 

Capital Gains Tax

 

Whether your money is in property stocks, bonds or even in commodities, we'll help you ensure you are minimising your capital gains liabilities.

 

With our advice you can be sure of paying only the tax you actually owe, helping you keep more of what you earn from your investments.

 

Inheritance Tax Advice and Planning

 

Inheritance tax combines two of life's certainties - death and taxes. Increasingly, many people's wealth and assets are tied up in property, so greater certainty is precisely what they're looking for. Plus, with house prices remaining high and people living longer, more families and businesses are affected than ever before.

 

In fact, Inheritance Tax accounts for about 0.8% of government income, raising around £3.6 billion in 2006. For the 2010/2011 tax year, the IHT rate is 0% on the first £325,000 (the "nil-rate band") and 40% on the rest of the value, at death, of an individual's tax estate.

 

We can help you plan carefully to minimise your Inheritance Tax liability. There are many easily implemented, cost-effective ways to neutralise the tax liability. We can help make sure your family will benefit, rather than unintended contributions to government coffers.

 

VAT

 

We can help you get more value out of Value Added Tax (VAT).

 

VAT can be a time-consuming headache, particularly for the smaller business. By letting us take care of the regular returns for you, it can help your business run more efficiently and help owners focus on growing and developing the business. In addition, our expertise and advice on how to claim all you are entitled to helps ensure that you're only paying what you owe.
