Taxation

As tax advisers with offices in Dunstable or Dorchester Dorset and Edlesborough Bedfordshire, our objective is to work closely with you to ensure you pay the minimum tax required by law.

We will help you to understand the tax implications of your actions, in order that you can plan ahead and conduct your affairs in a tax efficient way.

Corporation tax services

We understand the issues facing owner-managed businesses and can prepare corporation tax returns in a timely and efficient manner. We will calculate your company's tax liability and complete your return in compliance with your company’s deadline.

The increased reporting obligations, investigation policies on the part of HMRC and harsher penalties for non-compliance mean that your time and resources can be taken up with tax administration. We will help to minimise corporate tax exposure and relieve the administrative burden of compliance with current tax legislation.

Personal tax services (sole-traders and partnerships)

Self-Assessment

We have the expertise and software to take the headache out of completing your self-assessment tax return. We can provide you with practical advice on personal tax and the planning opportunities available to you. Over recent years HMRC have increased the penalties for failing to file a return on time and for errors. We can complete tax returns, calculate any tax liability and advise you on exactly when to make payments and how much to pay.

Personal tax planning

Everyone who is subject to taxation needs professional advice and support if they are to optimise their tax position and ensure they meet the compliance requirements. We can provide you with year-round advice on all aspects of personal taxation.

VAT

To help you manage this complex area, we provide an efficient, cost-effective VAT service. Ever changing regulations and the growing demands of HMRC mean VAT compliance can be a difficult administrative process. We can help to ensure that you comply with the regulations, that overpayments are not made and refund are obtained when due. Our VAT service includes:

• assistance with VAT registration
• use of the most appropriate scheme
• advice on VAT planning and administration, including suitable bookkeeping software
• free Vatax tax app
• VAT control and reconciliation
• Completion and submission of VAT returns
• negotiating with HMRC in disputes

HMRC Investigations and Enquiries

Being the subject of a tax investigation or enquiry by HMRC can be a stressful and worrying experience. We have a wealth of experience in dealing with HMRC investigations. If you are the subject of an investigation, we can provide help and support.
