UK tax advice for individuals and businesses
Tax advice for past compliance, future planning and HMRC-ready decisions.
We provide structured UK tax advice for individuals, landlords, company directors, business owners, overseas-connected clients and growing businesses. Advice is scoped before work starts, charged at £150 per hour plus VAT, and billed in advance blocks of four hours.
The right advice depends on the tax year, records, transaction dates, income sources, business structure, HMRC filings and future plans. We scope the issue first so the advice is focused, useful and proportionate.
Tax advice is charged by time because the work depends on the facts, records and level of review required.
Advisory work is billed in advance blocks of four hours, so the starting advisory block is £600 + VAT.
We confirm what will be reviewed, what records are needed and what advice will be provided before starting.
What this service covers
Tax advice for decisions already made and decisions still ahead.
Tax advice may be needed before a transaction, after income has already arisen, when HMRC has raised a question, or when future tax payments need to be planned. We advise on past tax compliance, current filing risks and future tax obligations for individuals and businesses.
The advice can cover whether a position has been reported correctly, whether earlier returns need amending, how future compliance should be handled, what tax payments may arise and what records should be kept.
Tax advice routes
Start with the reason you need advice.
We separate tax advice into clear routes so the work is focused. Some clients need a past compliance review. Others need planning before a transaction, a business change or a future filing deadline.
Past tax compliance review
Review of earlier tax returns, income reporting, property schedules, foreign income, company filings, VAT returns, payroll records or HMRC risks.
Future tax compliance advice
Advice on how future income, gains, business profits, VAT, payroll, Self Assessment or company tax should be reported.
Tax planning advice
Planning before a property sale, business restructure, company extraction, overseas move, investment disposal, gift or new income arrangement.
Tax payment planning
Review of upcoming tax bills, payments on account, Corporation Tax, VAT, payroll liabilities, CGT deadlines and HMRC payment timing.
Personal tax advice
Advice for individuals, landlords, directors and overseas-connected clients.
Personal tax advice is often needed where a standard Self Assessment return does not tell the full story. This may involve property income, foreign income, residence, Capital Gains Tax, dividends, benefits, high income charges or historic omissions.
We can review earlier Self Assessment returns, rental schedules, foreign income pages, CGT reporting and omitted income risks.
We advise on what needs to be reported going forward, when tax payments are due and what records should be kept.
Advice before property disposals, foreign income remittances, investment sales, moving country, gifting assets or changing income structure.
Business tax advice
Advice for companies, directors, sole traders, contractors and owner-managed businesses.
Business tax advice should look beyond the return. It may involve profit extraction, Corporation Tax, VAT, payroll, director loans, contractor income, IR35, business structure, expenses, investment decisions and HMRC compliance risk.
Corporation Tax and company compliance
Advice on CT600 filings, company profits, accounting periods, allowable expenses and future compliance requirements.
Salary, dividends and director loans
Review of extraction options, dividend records, payroll, director loan accounts and personal tax reporting.
VAT, PAYE and employer obligations
Advice on VAT registration, VAT returns, payroll setup, RTI, benefits, expenses and HMRC employer compliance risks.
IR35 and contractor tax
Advice on inside IR35 income, company treatment, deemed payments, contracts, working practices and evidence.
Self-employed or limited company
Review of whether a sole trade, partnership or company route is more appropriate for tax, admin and commercial risk.
Future tax planning for businesses
Advice before growth, restructuring, asset purchases, profit extraction, business sales or new trading arrangements.
Past tax compliance review
Check whether earlier tax positions were reported correctly.
A past compliance review helps identify whether earlier filings, returns or disclosures are complete. This is useful where records were prepared without specialist review, where foreign income has been missed, where rental income has changed, or where HMRC may later ask questions.
Review of Self Assessment returns, property pages, foreign pages, CGT pages and relevant calculations.
Review of income sources, expense claims, rental records, business costs and supporting evidence.
Review of omissions, late filings, penalties, discovery risk, careless or deliberate behaviour indicators.
Advice on whether an amendment, disclosure, voluntary correction or future filing adjustment is needed.
Future tax compliance and payments
Plan the filings and payments before the deadline arrives.
Future tax compliance advice helps you understand what returns may be needed, when payments are due, how to keep records and how to avoid avoidable HMRC issues.
Tax planning advice
Planning should happen before the transaction, not after the tax problem appears.
Tax planning is most useful before a sale, move, restructure, extraction, investment disposal, rental decision or business change. We help identify the tax consequences, available options and records needed before action is taken.
Advice before selling, gifting, transferring or restructuring property ownership.
Advice on extraction, company structure, director tax, dividends, payroll and future compliance.
Advice for overseas income, moving to or from the UK, double tax relief and reporting obligations.
Advice where earlier reporting may need correction before HMRC opens an enquiry.
Scope before advice starts
We agree the question, records and output before beginning.
We identify the tax year, parties, income, asset, business structure or HMRC matter involved.
We confirm what documents are needed so advice is based on evidence rather than assumptions.
Tax advice is charged at £150 + VAT per hour, payable in advance blocks of four hours.
We provide the agreed advice, explain limitations and confirm whether further work is needed.
Before you ask for tax advice
Prepare the facts that make the advice reliable.
List the tax years or accounting periods the advice relates to.
Gather tax returns, accounts, bank statements, HMRC letters, contracts, property documents or overseas tax papers.
Explain whether the advice is for a past issue, future plan, filing deadline, tax payment or HMRC response.
