Business taxation

As tax advisers, we aim to work closely with you to ensure that you conduct your business affairs in a tax efficient way and do not unnecessarily overpay tax.

We will also help you to understand the tax implications of your business decisions so that you can plan ahead without the risk of tax surprises.

Corporation tax services

Under Corporation Tax Self Assessment (CTSA), the legal responsibility for correctly calculating corporation tax liability rests with business owners. We understand the issues facing owner-managed businesses and can prepare your tax returns in a timely and efficient manner. We can also calculate your company's tax liability and any quarterly instalment payments due.

We will help you to minimise corporate tax exposure and minimise the administrative burden of complying with current tax legislation.

Effective corporate tax planning can also result in improvements in your bottom line.

VAT

Ever changing regulations and the growing demands of HMRC mean VAT compliance can be a difficult administrative process. We can help to ensure that you comply with the regulations and don’t overpay VAT. To help you manage this complex area, we provide an efficient, cost-effective VAT service, which includes:

• assistance with VAT registration
• advice on VAT planning and administration
• use of the most appropriate scheme
• VAT control and reconciliation
• help with completing VAT returns
• planning to minimise future problems with HMRC
• negotiating with HMRC in disputes and representing you at VAT tribunals if necessary.

HMRC Investigations and Enquiries

Being the subject of a tax investigation or enquiry by HMRC can be stressful. We have experience in dealing with HMRC investigations and can provide expert help and support to you and your business if needed.

Some of our clients choose to protect themselves from the additional and often significant costs that they would incur in the event of an investigation by joining our annual fee protection service. We can provide further details on request.
