Taxation

Taxation is one of life’s certainties. Understanding your tax, and finding your way through the maze of allowances, deductions, and entitlements, is a full-time job.

Our tax accountants are fully qualified and have more than 10 years’ experience in small business and sole trader tax consulting and management. We prepare annual accounts for HMRC, on behalf of clients working in every kind of industry. We set up companies, registering new business for PAYE, income tax, and CIS. We advise on the structure of your business, enabling the creation of taxable entities that give you the ability to pay tax fairly without paying too much.

Our accountancy business has always been based on our client’s successes. We understand that tax is taxing – and we know how to make the process easier and quicker for you, guaranteeing more retention of profit and less time spent worrying about getting your tax returns right.

From making sure your business, partnership or sole trading operation is taxed in the right bracket, to making you aware of changes in your taxable status (for example, preparing you for the jump from annual tax payments to six-monthly payments on account), our accountants work with just one outcome in mind. A better tax experience for your business, and a more profitable outcome at the end of each financial year. We’ll help you identify expense areas that you may not have looked at before. We’ll advise you on ways to keep your cashflow healthy while preparing for tax payments. And we’ll make sure that every communication between your business and HMRC is timely, complete, and perfectly worded.

Our accountants prepare tax returns and accounts for all types of company, trader and director. We work with you to develop a system that minimises the time-impact of tax on your business, and can offer every level of accountancy from bookkeeping and payroll to once-a-year returns.

Knowing what kind of business structure to create, and when to change it, can have a huge effect on the taxable status of your company. Our accountants are here to advise you on structure, and to help you change it when the time is right.

It’s also vital to understand what you’re entitled to, as a sole trader or a company. HMRC doesn’t go out of its way to advertise the allowances you can claim in different working situations, and finding out for yourself can be a laborious and frustrating process. Our accountants know what you can claim, when you can claim it, and how to make those claims properly. Now you don’t have to worry about dotting all the i’s, and crossing all the t’s, when you put in claims for home office work or annual mileage. We do that on your behalf – and if you’re entitled to something you aren’t claiming, we’ll make sure you know about it.

We believe an accountancy firm should be more than a necessity. Our clients rely on us not just for basic bookkeeping and accounts preparation, but as an indispensable element of their business. We want you to get the best deal possible from the UK tax system, and our accountants are here to help you find it.
