Paying staff has become a complicated procedure, with statutory sick pay, maternity/paternity pay, deductions, RTI, and pensions to think about.

VAT

This is an area which whilst appearing straightforward contains many pitfalls and traps and attention to detail is essential.

Estate Planning

With inheritance tax allowing HMRC to take a substantial part of your estate, it's important to plan ahead. We can advise you in structuring your affairs in order to take full advantage of the reliefs available.

Corporation Tax

Corporation tax returns can be more difficult than you may think and there are many reliefs including Research and Development credits that can be overlooked. There are also changes relating to Making Tax Digital on the horizon. By looking through your company's circumstances we can complete the returns including appropriate claims for you ensuring that you company is fully compliant.

Retirement and Succession

You may feel that you will never retire but it is important to start thinking about your long-term goals and to plan in advance as there are many opportunities for tax-efficient strategies for family businesses.

Self Assessment

Filing your self-assessment tax returns is not as simple as HMRC would have people believe and mistakes can be easily made without experience. There are also changes relating to Making Tax Digital which will be implemented in the near future. By looking through your personal circumstances, we can complete this for you - ensuring everything goes through smoothly and accurately.

Trust Assessment

Through trusts and executorship, we can advise on protecting any assets you would like to be passed down to loved ones and beneficiaries.
