  • As part of our tax filing service we may ask you for records of Taxed Award Schemes, redundancy payments, untaxed tips, incentive payments or any benefits vouchers like free meal.
  • Based on all of the above, we create your tax profile for you.

ALLOWABLE EXPENSES:

  • We help you determine which costs you can claim as allowable expenses. The criteria can differ for a sole-trader, partnership or a company.
  • For expenses that have both personal and business use, we do necessary apportioning as per HMRC guidelines.
  • If you work from home, we can help you claim a percentage of your household bills as allowable expenses.
  • We can also determine if ‘cash basis’ accounting and ‘simplified expense’ scheme is an option for you or not, and whether it will optimize your tax bill if you choose them
