Business 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 accurate 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.

Increased reporting obligations, investigation policies and harsher penalties for non-compliance mean that your time and resources can be taken up with tax administration.  On your behalf, we will liaise directly with HM Revenue & Customs and any other necessary parties to ensure that the information submitted is accurate, timely and compliant.

With our proactive approach and working closely with our clients, we can advise on how to reduce your tax liability. For example, by looking at your accounts, we would be able to calculate what elements of your expenditure may be eligible for tax relief.  Effective corporate tax planning can also result in significant improvements to your bottom line.
