Tax Compliance
Individual Returns
We can deal with all types of return for individuals - the self-employed in all kinds of business, employees, the retired and anyone else you care to think of. Our computerised systems can produce accurate and effective tax returns for the self-assessment process, making sure that you meet your obligations with the minimum possible fuss. We can also deal with the additional burdens of partnership taxation where required.
Company Returns
Corporation tax self-assessment demands much of businesses and we can assist you in meeting your obligations, completing tax documentation from preparation of accounts onwards. Whatever the size of your company, we can help you to meet your tax obligations.
Trust Taxation
Trust taxation can be complicated, but we have a vast range of experience of dealing with the taxation of trusts of all types and sizes. From income tax and capital gains tax to inheritance tax and VAT, we can assist in minimising your liabilities while ensuring full compliance with the law.
PAYE & NI
Acting as an employer brings its own compliance demands. We can advise on all aspects of PAYE and National Insurance, to ensure that you make the correct deductions and deal with the Inland Revenue correctly. Mistakes can be expensive and there are opportunities for savings - we can help you avoid the former and maximise the latter.
Accountancy & Accounting
Unusually for a law firm, we have a number of qualified accountants who can assist your business from the very outset of dealing with your tax affairs. We can arrange for the preparation and, where necessary, certification of your accounts so that we can give you comprehensive advice on your tax situation from start to finish.
Farm & Estate Accounts
Our firm has a very long history of involvement with farms, estate and other countryside entities and our accountants are extremely experienced in dealing with the specialities of farm and estate accounts efficiently and effectively. We can provide advice on accounting matters easing the path towards necessary compliance and effective planning to minimise your tax liabilities.
VAT Compliance
From registration and telling you when VAT compliance is necessary, through VAT returns and dealing with all kinds of claims and elections, we can help you through the VAT maze. We will assist you in reclaiming tax wherever this is possible and in paying the minimum, but correct, amount over to Customs whenever required. Whether dealing with specific transactions or your business in general, we can make sure that you comply with your VAT obligations.
Revenue & Customs Enquiries
When either branch of the tax collecting arm of the state gets to be more interested than you would like, we can assist you in dealing with their enquiries, explaining the necessary procedures as matters proceed. We can help you negotiate to a satisfactory conclusion, helping you in what can be a very stressful situation.
Appeals & Negotiation
If the Inland Revenue or Customs get it wrong - or even if you think they have - what can you do? There is usually an appeal process and we can help you through this from dealing with the documentation through negotiation with the authorities to reaching a satisfactory conclusion. In the unlikely event that matters go further, our litigation team can assist you before the tax commissioners or in court.
