Tax Returns

Tax legislation states that it is the individual taxpayers responsibility to make a return of their income and pay taxes due as they fall due.

The Tax Return and notes on how to complete it does not consider the reliefs and rules available to mitigate any tax liability arising. We have the expertise and knowledge to assess your situation and ensure that your ultimate tax liability is minimised as far as possible.

In life we are told there are only two definite eventualities, death and the payment of taxes. We offer a friendly and efficient service to make the latter as painless as possible. Unfortunately the former is beyond our control and hopefully will not prove too painful!

Bookkeeping

We provide a bespoke package of services to meet specific needs for all types and sizes of business. We will assess your needs and can offer services ranging from a full bookkeeping service either within our office or at your premises to preparing annual accounts for tax purposes.

We are accredited business partners to the “Clearlybusiness” package of services and are able to provide indepth advise on the installation and maintenance of both Sage and Quickbooks Accounts Packages.

VAT

Value Added Tax is a tax on consumption, which is ultimately borne by the consumer. It is the registered traders responsibility to charge, collect and pass over this tax net of tax reclaimed on eligible purchases to HM Revenue & Customs. Not all sales are liable to VAT and other complexities need to be dealt with on a timely basis.

We provide a comprehensive range of services for the maintenance of records for compliance with HM Revenue & Customs, which allows businesses to spend more time dealing with core aspects of their business needs.

Human Resources

Human resources are an important issue for all growing businesses and needs to be managed carefully. We can provide advise on all aspects of employment law, contracts of employment and staff deployment.

Payroll

Employees pay income tax and national insurance contributions on their earnings known as Pay As You Earn, PAYE. The employer is responsible for dealing with the maintenance of adequate records to calculate and record these deductions and other related charges such as Statutory Sick Pay, Statutory Maternity Pay and Student Loan Deductions and accounting for the tax collected to HM Revenue & Customs. This can be both time consuming and a drain on valuable management resources. We are able to provide an effective and efficient bureau service designed to meet your specific needs and deadlines.

Business Planning

We are able to provide expertise and management information to enable businesses to grow and make strategic decisions. Our independence from the day to day business enables us to provide objective advice to support and assist in moving your business forward.
