And many people need help with
Taxation and Tax Returns
We prepare tax returns for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies. We also calculate any tax due, and we file the tax returns on your behalf. We know the deadlines for filing tax returns and will inform you of both the deadline for your tax return and the penalties that can be avoided by meeting those deadlines. The new HM Revenue & Customs penalty regime means that it can be costly if you do not file you returns on time. Not only will you have to pay the penalties, but you will be subject to interest and may be subject to penalties on late payment as well. You will find that it is far more cost effective to pay us to prepare and file your returns within the required time limits than to pay any resultant penalties for late filing. read more
VAT
VAT is one of those things that on the surface might seem straightforward, but when you look a little further it isn’t so simple. What goods and services do you need to charge VAT on? If an item isn’t subject to VAT is it zero rated or is it exempt? What’s the difference? If it is subject to VAT is it standard rated or subject to a reduced rate? Should I be VAT registered? If I become VAT registered which VAT scheme would be best for me? We can help with these questions and others that you may have.
We can provide you with management accounts, monthly or quarterly, reconcile your bank account, prepare and file your VAT returns, produce your annual accounts for you or provide your accountant with accounts to Trial Balance. We can do as much or as little as you require. It won’t cost any more than your time to talk to us, we will not only listen to you but can help you to decide what you need us to do for you.
