Taxation

We provide comprehensive taxation support for individuals and businesses, combining compliance with forward-thinking planning. From routine filings to complex tax strategies, we ensure you meet your obligations to HMRC while maximising opportunities for efficiency and savings. Whether you require assistance with self-assessment, corporation tax, VAT, capital gains, or long-term planning, we will provide clear, tailored advice designed to protect your interests and support your financial goals.

Self-employed workers, landlords and company directors are all required to file a self-assessment tax return every year. This can be a labour-intensive task, requiring data about your income including dividends, rental income, benefits in kind, pension payments and much more. It also requires a sound knowledge of the reliefs available to certain individuals and, from 2026 – the use of compliant software to file returns in line with Making Tax Digital legislation.

We manage self-assessment tax returns for a range of clients, ensuring that all necessary information is provided, calculations are accurate and the forms are submitted on time.

As part of our Corporation Tax services, we will ensure you are benefitting from the relevant allowances and reliefs, prepare accurate tax returns ensuring they and the supporting computations are submitted on time. We will also advise when and how to pay the amount of tax due.

Businesses with a turnover of more than £90,000 are required to register for VAT. A variety of schemes offer different benefits depending on your structure and how you trade. We will help you select the best scheme for your needs, prepare your VAT returns (using Making Tax Digital compliant software), and ensure filings are made on time. We will also ensure you remain compliant if regulations change.

 

Capital Gains Tax is paid on the profit you make when an asset such as a property or shares are sold. This can be a complex area of taxation, requiring the help of a qualified accountant to navigate the varying reliefs and allowances available. We will calculate the correct amount of tax you owe and submit your return.
