Questions
Do I need to complete a tax return?
You must file a tax return if you're self-employed, have untaxed income over £2,500, investment income over £10,000, or capital gains from asset sales. Company directors and those with income over £100,000 also require returns.
How can I reduce my payment on account?
We help clients plan dividends strategically and calculate estimated tax liabilities. For limited companies, we coordinate with account managers to defer tax payments while ensuring compliance with HMRC regulations.
Are software costs tax-deductible?
Business software licenses, maintenance, and support costs are fully allowable expenses when used exclusively for business purposes.
What property costs can I claim?
Business premises allow claims for council tax (non-residential), insurance, utilities, and repairs. Residential property used for business permits limited claims through the occupancy allowance method.
How does asset disposal affect tax?
Capital allowances apply when disposing of fixed assets. If sale value exceeds book value, the difference creates a taxable profit on disposal that must be reported in company accounts.
