These accounts typically include a balance sheet, profit and loss statement, and accompanying notes, providing a formal record of your business's financial performance and position over the year.

We manage all communications with HMRC on your behalf regarding your Self Assessment, addressing queries and ensuring compliance. Avoid the stress and potential penalties associated with incorrect or late filings by letting our experts manage your personal tax obligations efficiently.

Tax Refund
Are you potentially paying too much tax? Many individuals in the UK are entitled to a tax refund but may not realise it. Our dedicated tax refund service helps you identify and reclaim any overpaid Income Tax or CIS deductions from HMRC, potentially going back several tax years. Common reasons for refunds include being placed on an incorrect PAYE tax code by an employer, not working for the full tax year, incurring work-related expenses that weren't claimed, or operating under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) as a subcontractor. We manage the entire claim process, from assessing your eligibility to liaising with HMRC to secure your rebate efficiently. Let us help you get back the money you're rightfully owed.
Key Features
- Identification of all potential refund opportunities
- Processing claims for overpaid taxes dating back 5 years

We provide expert consultation on VAT-related issues, including understanding different VAT schemes (Standard, Flat Rate, Cash Accounting), ensuring correct VAT charges on your sales, and reclaiming VAT on your purchases. We prepare and submit your VAT returns accurately and on time, adhering to Making Tax Digital (MTD) requirements.
