About

We can look at several strategies like claiming all allowable business expenses, using your ISA allowance, contributing to a pension, or making use of tax reliefs. For businesses, R&D tax credits or capital allowances can also help.

You’ll need details of all your income sources (employment, self-employment, dividends, rental income, etc.), expense receipts, P60/P45/P11D if you’re employed, bank interest statements, and any records of pension contributions or charitable donations.

It depends on your income level and risk profile. Sole traders have simpler tax filings but pay income tax and NICs on all profits. A limited company offers limited liability and potentially more tax efficiency via salary and dividends, but comes with more admin and reporting duties.

Absolutely. I can communicate with HMRC on your behalf, review any notices or requests, and ensure we respond accurately and promptly. I also offer tax investigation insurance for added peace of mind.

Making Tax Digital (MTD) is HMRC’s initiative to move tax reporting online. If you’re VAT-registered, you’re already required to keep digital records and file VAT returns through MTD-compliant software. Income Tax Self Assessment (MTD for ITSA) is set to affect self-employed individuals and landlords earning over £50,000 from April 2026.

I can help ensure you’re using the right software and are fully compliant before the deadlines. I recommend using Xero, which is fully HMRC-recognised and MTD-compliant. It allows you to keep digital records, connect your bank, and submit returns directly, making compliance much easier.

Not at all. I can manage the transition for you. All you need to do is notify your current accountant, and with your permission, I’ll request professional clearance and your records from them. It’s a straightforward process, and I’ll ensure there’s no disruption to your accounts or deadlines.
