Self-assessment

This system is now fully operative for companies and individuals alike. It is a regimented system, incurring penalties for late filing and non compliance. We offer a service for the preparation of the returns, repayment claims and calculations, by use of specialist software, accepted by HM Customs & Excise, which is constantly updated with all changes in legislation as they happen. We also provide clients with newsletters on important changes, including a budget summary, as soon as possible.

Inland revenue

We ensure that the Inland Revenue is provided with all the necessary PAYE records - a service not provided by many external payroll bureaux. We arrange payment of wages to employees, dealing directly with banks by use of the BACS system. We also check end-of-year returns for clients operating their own payrolls and prepare forms P11D where necessary.

Tax, PAYE and VAT investigations

We handle tax investigations and enquiries and offer our business clients an insurance scheme to cover the cost of our time dealing with such cases, at a small annual premium. Sadly, these enquiries are on the increase as a result of the far-reaching powers given to the HM Customs & Excise under the Self-Assessment legislation. We have access to expert advice from a number of sources in the event of this being necessary or the comfort of a second opinion.

Tax planning

One of the most important yet underrated areas of taxation is forward planning. Our staff receive training to ensure that they are fully prepared to provide correct professional advice on all aspects of future tax problems, whether it be in the form of Income Tax, Corporation Tax, Capital Gains Tax or Inheritance Tax, and are constantly monitoring clients' affairs in order to prevent any such problems from arising. Again we can call on more specialist advice should this become necessary.

VAT, payroll, payroll taxes and tax

These are time-consuming tasks, with more and more legislative burden. For a relatively small cost we have the ability to deal with all these matters on behalf of clients, removing such burdens and leaving them free to get on with the day-to-day running of their business. Our computerised payroll bureau is constantly updated to provide an up-to-date and efficient service.
