Tax advice and planning from specialist chartered tax advisers

Whether your business operates through a limited company, partnership or sole trade, we will prepare and file your annual tax return with HRMC in the appropriate format.

Our Business Tax work is closely linked with our Accounts work, enabling us to advise on the most tax efficient way of structuring business decisions throughout the year.

If Brays also take care of your Bookkeeping, we will prepare your accounts and calculate your tax position as soon as possible after the end of your accounting year, so that you have plenty of time to plan for any tax that is due. Otherwise, we encourage you to provide us with your accounting records as soon as they are available, to reduce the risk of a potentially large or unexpected tax bill at short notice.

As a firm of Chartered Tax Advisers our practice is governed by the Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT). This gives you the confidence to know that our work is carried out to a consistently high standard, and that we adhere to a strict code of ethics. It also means our staff maintain their knowledge and expertise of current tax issues and legislation through a programme of continuing professional development.

At Brays, we use a suite of market-leading professional accountancy software to prepare and file tax returns. The software is updated on an ongoing basis to ensure that changes in legislation are automatically incorporated into our tax calculations.

Our fees for Business Tax services are generally included in the fee we agree for preparing your annual accounts. We are also able to provide related tax services, such as VAT, Payroll and Personal Tax.

In the event that you are selected for an HMRC enquiry or investigation, we can liaise directly with HMRC on your behalf in order to resolve the situation as quickly and painlessly as possible. We also offer our clients Tax Investigation Cover; assuming you have the cover in place before the start of any HMRC enquiry, our fees for this additional work will be paid by the insurer.
