Tax

Tax Planning & Compliance

The more you pay in tax, the less you keep for yourself and your family. Yes, an obvious statement but with good tax planning, you can keep more of your hard-earned cash.

With extra cash, of course, you will find it easier to have and do what you want in life. For example, you could save for a rainy day or early retirement, or buy that dream home, a new car or pay for the children’s education, starter home or first car?

Tax can be a substantial cost to profitable businesses and individuals.These costs include the tax itself as well as the costs of complying with reporting obligations, dealing with enquiries from the tax authorities and penalties for non-compliance.

We can help by relieving you of the administrative burdens and can advise you on how to minimise your tax liabilities.

If you are starting out in business we can help you ensure that all of the initial registration requirements are met and help you to plan for future liabilities by explaining the tax system in plain language. We can provide you with a report on all of the tax consequences for any particular transactions you are considering with suggestions for mitigating liabilities.

We can, at your request, conduct a review of the company’s position shortly before the accounting date to advise you of any tax saving measures that can be put in place before your year end.

HMRC Enquiries

Enquiries into your tax affairs by H M Revenue & Customs can be a very intimidating experience. The Revenue is entitled to enquire into your tax affairs at random, and as such, they never say why they are investigating.

Their random enquiries are generated by computer so they may investigate without even a suspicion of anything being wrong, but none of this eases the stress.

We can help by acting as an intermediary between you and the Revenue, reviewing their interpretations of your financial transactions as well as their interpretation of tax law.

We will handle correspondence with the Revenue, keeping you informed at all stages, and negotiating on your behalf so as to minimise the disruption to you.

Take pre-emptive action now and subscribe to our Tax Investigation Fee Protection Service to ensure you are fully represented in the event of an enquiry without having to worry about the cost of the support in defending you and minimising any tax demands made.
