Businesses and Limited Companies

Start-ups

Starting up a business can be a very worrying time for a new business owner. We can take away your concerns about tax, working with you to set up a tax efficient structure, and can also take care of your payroll, VAT and accounting problems.

Corporation tax returns

We will prepare the company’s annual tax return, along with your annual accounts, and ensure it is submitted within the deadline to avoid penalty charges. We will also advise on all planning opportunities available to ensure that tax is saved wherever possible.

Group tax planning

Group structures require particular care from a tax point of view. Detailed planning is needed to ensure that all companies make full use of their lower tax rates and that a group’s activities are properly managed. We can advise on group structures, looking at the activities of each company, to ensure that unexpected tax liabilities do not arise.

Company reconstructions

Company reconstructions are not uncommon, particularly in the case of shareholder disputes or where the founders of a company are looking to pass the business on to family or management. We can advise on the best structures to adopt, ensuring the best tax position for all parties, and can obtain clearance from the HM Revenue and Customs on the company’s behalf.

Group reorganisations

It is sometimes necessary to create or reorganise groups of companies. This might be as a result of shareholder disagreements or as a means of protecting valuable assets in a group situation. We can advise on all matters of group tax to ensure the best result for shareholders.
