Our Services: How We Solve Real Problems for Entrepreneurs
Tax laws aren’t designed with business owners in mind—they’re designed for tax auditors. That’s why we focus on making tax relief simple, efficient, and financially beneficial. Here’s what we offer
1. Pre-Sale Tax Structuring
If you’re planning to sell your business, timing and structure are crucial. We’ll provide custom advice to help you increase your eligibility for business tax reliefs.
- Lower capital gains tax from higher rates to legally applicable thresholds.
- Avoid common errors, such as disqualifications caused by incorrect shareholder allocation.
2. R&D Tax Credit Applications
Many entrepreneurs miss out on R&D tax credits due to lack of awareness. We specialise in:
- Identifying qualifying activities (even those beyond traditional R&D sectors).
- Filing claims that meet tax authority requirements.
- Increasing returns under both SME and large business (RDEC) schemes.
In the past year, we’ve helped clients secure millions in R&D tax refunds.
3. Tax Audit Defense and Compliance
Facing an audit? We provide expert support, including:
- Detailed documentation reviews.
- Representation during tax authority inquiries.
- Strategic responses to any negative findings.
Our compliance services reduce audit risks by identifying potential errors before filing.
4. Business Tax Planning
Ongoing tax planning is just as critical as your annual filings. We offer:
- Investment allowances to reduce taxable income.
- Dividend strategies to lower personal tax liabilities.
- Tax forecasts to help you plan for future profits and asset sales.
