Tax Returns | Tax Mitigation | Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax Saving | Inland Revenue Enquiries

We offer a full range of business tax services to ensure that you not only meet your obligations under the UK tax system, but also make full use of the relief's available.

Tax Returns

Whether you operate as a sole trader, a partnership, an LLP or a Limited Company, you will need help with your annual tax returns and computations. Under the self-assessment system, it is the taxpayers responsibility to complete and submit a correct return. With our vast experience in completing these returns, we will ensure that you meet this obligation.

We will also provide you with helpful reminders when payment and return deadlines are looming, to ensure you are not charged any unnecessary interest or penalties.

Throughout the year, we will review any Inland Revenue calculations or statements of account to ensure that you only pay the correct amount of tax.

Tax Mitigation

Tax planning has to be pro-active to be effective, and therefore a regular review of your overall corporation tax, income tax, national insurance and capital gains tax affairs should be undertaken so that areas where savings can be made are highlighted.

If you are about to undertake transactions which might affect your tax position, our advice can often be helpful to ensure you understand the implications.

We can also advise on the best structure for you business, and produce a report showing the tax implications of incorporating your business.

Inheritance tax and capital gains tax saving

Qualifying businesses and agricultural assets can obtain relief from inheritance tax purposes, possibly at 100%, but rules apply.

Substantial capital gains tax reliefs are available for qualifying business assets, although this will change from April 2008. We can therefore advise you how to maximise the reliefs available to your business.

Inland Revenue Enquiries

Our expert advice will help to minimise the risk of investigation of your tax affairs by HM Revenue and Customs, but under the Self Assessment regime, the Inland Revenue can randomly select taxpayers for enquiry.

We have extensive experience in dealing with enquiries, including employer compliance reviews, and have an excellent record in achieving successful settlements.
