Tax Compliance
Staying up to date with the
numerous changes in legislation and regulations is vital for any individual with substantial assets. Tax compliance, including
completion of self-assessment tax returns, ranges from the straightforward input of information into tax return software to
detailed analysis of the disclosure required following a sophisticated tax planning exercise.
Our approach is
to consider each individual client's personal and financial circumstances and the effects of the three major taxes: income
tax, capital gains tax and inheritance tax. Wider concerns can also be included, for example the tax planning requirements
of the client's family, business interests and company shareholdings,
Income Tax
We are here to help sole traders, partnerships, the retired and any other individual
required to complete a Self Assessment Tax Return.
Capital Gains Tax
Capital Gains Tax applies when
any chargeable asset is disposed of. It is imposed upon individuals, companies, personal representatives and trustees. It is vital that the tax
implications of a capital disposal are considered in full before the disposal occurs.
We can provide detailed advice
and provide an estimate of the Capital Gains Tax likely to arise.
Inheritance Tax
With
the continued increase in property values, this tax is unfortunately starting to apply to more and more of the population.
For the current (2011/2012) tax year, the threshold for Inheritance Tax is only £325,000, and is unlikely to increase in
the tax year commencing 6 April 2012.
