Business Taxes

We help businesses meet complex demands for tax reporting, compliance and planning.

Our team of experts are proactive and approachable. We are highly experienced in providing businesses with all their tax advice.

These include the following:

• Tax efficient profit extraction for business owners
• Reworking and incentivising key staff, including share schemes
• Tax efficient group structures
• Minimising corporation tax
• Patent box relief
• Grant funding
• Tax efficient succession planning

In conjunction with the preparation of financial statements for limited companies, corporation tax is calculated by our experienced team.

We try, where possible, to advise our clients throughout the year on how to reduce their corporation tax liability by considering various tax planning ideas.

We also ensure clients know in advance what their corporation tax liabilities are and help with any payment plans where relevant.

This often links in with our outsourcing services to enable clients to plan for their corporate tax liabilities, i.e. if management accounts are prepared on an interim basi,s then clients are able to put money to one side for their liability.

We provide expert tax advice and guidance through tax enquiries, investigations and fraud processes.

HMRC have now made significant advances to clamp down on tax avoidance and evasion. The investigations conducted by HMRC are done on a random basis and can hit anyone who files a tax return. Any enquiry into your tax affairs is potentially time-consuming and costly.

Our experience of tax investigations has taught us that getting the right advice as soon as possible is key to achieving the best possible outcome.

Salary exchange is a tax-efficient way to buy benefits or increase pension contributions with very little or no cost to the employee or employer.

R&D tax relief is an incentive from the Government to encourage companies to invest in research and development activities.

We can help you claim R&D tax credits from HMRC, which can provide significant tax savings.

Personal & Family Investment Companies are private limited companies used as long-term investment vehicles, also known as PICs or FICs.

There are multiple factors to consider when deciding whether this structure is appropriate for your circumstances, but the potential savings can be considerable and it is essential to take advice before taking action.

In addition, we offer a wide variety of services associated with owning, managing and preserving business and wealth, including asset protection, estate and succession planning.
