Tax advisers in Llandudno

As Chartered Tax Advisers, 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.

It is likely that over 90% of any tax planning opportunities are lost once a transaction has been undertaken, so it is important to advise us of any proposed actions, requiring our advice, well in advance of the event.

Business tax services:

Corporation Tax

Under Corporation Tax Self-Assessment (CTSA), the legal responsibility for correctly calculating the corporation tax liability falls on business owners. We understand the issues facing owner-managed businesses and can prepare tax returns in a timely and efficient manner. We will also calculate your company's tax liability and assist with the calculation of any quarterly instalment payments due.

The increased reporting obligations and investigation policies on the part of the tax authorities, coupled with harsher penalties for non-compliance, mean that your valuable 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. Effective corporate tax planning can also result in significant improvements in the profits available to the business owners.

VAT

Ever-changing regulations and the growing demands of HM Revenue & Customs, mean that VAT compliance can be a difficult administrative process. We can help to ensure that you comply with the regulations and that the correct amount of VAT is paid. To help you manage this complex area, we provide an efficient, cost-effective VAT service, which includes:

  • assistance with VAT registration
  • advice on VAT planning and administration
  • use of the most appropriate VAT scheme
  • assistance with the completion of VAT Returns
  • planning to minimise future problems with HM Revenue & Customs
  • negotiating with HM Revenue & Customs in disputes and representing you during VAT inspections, if necessary.

Partnerships

Self-Assessment applies to partnerships in that all partnerships must complete Partnership Returns (TMA 1970 s 12AA). There is, however, no assessment on the partnership itself and each partner brings their share of profits into their own personal Self-Assessment Return.

The responsibility for completing the Return is usually that of a representative partner to whom it is sent.

We can assist with all aspects of Partnership Tax compliance and we can prepare the Return on behalf of the representative partner.

Personal Self-Assessment Tax Returns

We have the expertise and capabilities to take the stress out of the form filling and compliance aspect of Self-Assessment.

We can complete all Tax Returns on your behalf, calculate any resulting tax liabilities and advise you on exactly when to make payments and how much to pay.
