Personal Taxation

Our experience, expertise and efficient approach has established our reputation for a courteous and professional service.

Income Tax and National Insurance

Many people will find that the changes to taxation will affect them. Some will benefit but others may find themselves worse off. We are here to help.

We are on the side of the taxpayer and will champion your cause. These days income tax is becoming increasingly complicated and it is very easy to miss the allowances that you are entitled to receive.

The basic rate for income tax is 20% and this rises to 40% or 50% dependent on income.

National insurance is charged on profits for the self employed at 8%.

We prepare tax returns and calculate your tax liability and look for repayment possibilities. Where possible, we explain how much the tax liability is likely to be and advise when it needs to be paid so that you have plenty of time to arrange for funds to be available to meet liabilities as and when they fall due.

Tax advice and tax saving discussions are included in many of our fee packages.

Capital Gains Tax

This applies to gains on the sale of assets such as shares, properties and businesses etc. We can help you plan your liability and minimise what you have to pay. Planning in advance is the key.

Inheritance Tax

There is much that can be done to reduce exposure to inheritance tax. We will be pleased to provide advice.

Tax Enquiries and Investigations

Enquiries into tax returns by H M Revenue and Customs tend to be time consuming, expensive and stressful. We will help you to assemble the information required and to reduce any additional tax liability and any penalty as much as possible.

We can arrange an insurance scheme for you so that you are insured for fees for enquiries.
