ur taxation department provides a full range of corporate taxation services. At the basic level this comprises the completion and submission of the company self assessment corporation tax return. Whilst this has to be submitted within one year of the company’s financial year end, any tax liability is due nine months after the year end. Our Tax department makes sure that our corporate clients are aware of their liabilities in plenty of time and do not miss filing deadlines.

We also provide specific advice regarding such matters as to whether certain expenditure is relievable against income, whether certain expenditure is under legislation capital in nature and not revenue. These matters may be basic but are of vital importance to the company in its decision making process and the consequences of different tax treatment can be significant. Clients need to know that they have quick access to reliable service, and this is what we provide.

Corporate Tax Planning is an invaluable tool available to our clients. This covers a wide range of issues from the timing of capital or fixed asset acquisitions and disposals to corporate reconstructions and restructuring. The latter utilising HM Revenue & Customs clearance procedures.
