We
pride ourselves on the advice that we
can provide, to a family business, some
of which are:
1. Is your software the best one for
you?
2. Should you be trading as a Limited
Liability Partnership, rather than a
limited company? Does the saving on
scale benefits and employers NIC outweigh
paying 40%, rather than 20%, on your “surplus”
profits.
3. Regular client meetings will ensure,
when trading is difficult, that advice
can be provided before major problems
arise, rather than after.
4. Where the company is having a successful
year, management accounts will be prepared,
prior to the year end, so as to achieve
the most tax efficient planning, prior
to the year end.
5. In addition to the preparation of
management accounts, we ensure that the
financial accounts are prepared, at least
three months after the year end. Thereby
ensuring the continued good relationship
with not only the company’s bankers
but the Inland Revenue.
6. In the case of limited companies,
providing a full Company Secretarial ensuring
that the maximum benefits can be derived
from the Companies Act.
Tax
We provide a full computerised service
as far as personal tax returns, and company
tax returns. We can also provide services
in relation to the preparation of your
quarterly VAT returns.
In the current era, tax investigations
are no longer limited and on a random
basis. Tax payers will be targeted and
investigations, rather than enquiries,
will be the norm. All the partners have
wide experience of tax investigations
and any, involving a client, will be led
by their own partner, rather than by a
member of the tax department, thereby
ensuring that the person with the most
intimate knowledge of the business is
the one handling the case.
The tax investigations, handled by the
Practice, cover those from the local Tax
Office up to those with SCI (Serious Crime
Investigations). We are not afraid to
use outside consultants in areas where
our expertise might be limited, this would
apply to specialised areas of VAT and
Tax Planning. |
