Inheritance tax planning services help ensure that your wealth is passed on to your heirs in the most tax-efficient manner possible.

Tax Investigation

Tax investigations are thorough examinations conducted by tax authorities to ensure compliance with tax laws. These investigations may be triggered by discrepancies in tax returns, random selection, or tips from informants. During an investigation, authorities scrutinize financial records, including income statements and receipts, to verify reported income and expenses. They may also interview the taxpayer or their representatives to gather additional information. If discrepancies or non-compliance are found, the taxpayer may face penalties, fines, or legal action. It’s essential for individuals and businesses to maintain accurate records and seek professional advice to navigate tax investigations effectively and avoid potential consequences.

Corporation Tax

Corporation tax is a tax imposed on the profits of businesses and other entities that are treated as corporations for tax purposes. In most jurisdictions, corporations are required to pay tax on their worldwide income, although some countries only tax profits earned within their borders. The tax rate can vary widely between jurisdictions and may be a flat rate or a progressive rate based on the level of profits. Many countries allow corporations to deduct certain expenses from their profits before calculating the tax, which can include costs related to producing goods or services, employee wages, and interest on loans.

VAT Registration

Value Added Tax (VAT) registration is a process through which businesses register with tax authorities to collect and remit VAT on behalf of the government. The threshold for mandatory VAT registration varies by country but is often based on the business’s annual turnover. Once registered, businesses charge VAT on their sales and must file regular VAT returns, detailing the VAT collected and paid. VAT-registered businesses can typically reclaim the VAT they have paid on business purchases, reducing the overall tax burden. Failure to register for VAT when required can result in penalties and fines from tax authorities.

VAT Returns

VAT returns are regular reports that VAT-registered businesses submit to tax authorities, detailing their VAT transactions during a specific period, typically quarterly or annually. Businesses calculate the VAT they have charged on sales (output tax) and subtract the VAT they have paid on purchases (input tax). The resulting figure is the net VAT due to be paid to or refunded by the tax authority. VAT returns also require businesses to provide details of their sales and purchases, along with any adjustments or corrections needed. Late or inaccurate VAT returns can lead to penalties, so it’s crucial for businesses to ensure their returns are submitted correctly and on time.

VAT Planning and Disputes

VAT planning involves strategic decision-making by businesses to minimize their VAT liabilities while remaining compliant with tax laws. This may include structuring transactions to take advantage of VAT exemptions, reliefs, or reduced rates, as well as optimizing cash flow and managing VAT reclaim opportunities. However, disputes with tax authorities can arise due to differences in interpretation of VAT regulations or disagreements over VAT treatment. Resolving these disputes often requires thorough documentation, negotiation with tax authorities, and, if necessary, appeal processes. Effective VAT planning can help businesses mitigate the risk of disputes and ensure smooth compliance with VAT regulations while optimizing their tax position.

Payroll and End of Year Returns

Payroll and end-of-year returns are critical aspects of managing employee compensation and tax obligations for businesses. Payroll involves calculating and processing wages, salaries, and deductions for employees. Employers must also withhold income tax, social security contributions, and other relevant taxes from employee paychecks and remit them to tax authorities. At the end of each tax year, employers must submit end-of-year returns, summarizing payroll information, including total earnings, deductions, and taxes withheld, for each employee. Accurate and timely submission of these returns is crucial to ensure compliance with tax regulations and avoid penalties or legal issues. 

Employment Status and IR35 Defence

Employment status determines whether an individual is classified as an employee, self-employed, or a worker for tax and employment law purposes. The IR35 legislation in the UK aims to prevent tax avoidance by individuals who provide their services through an intermediary, such as a personal service company, but would be considered employees if they were contracted directly. To defend against IR35, businesses and contractors must demonstrate that the nature of their working relationship is genuinely self-employed, not one of disguised employment. This involves considering factors such as control, substitution, and mutuality of obligation. Seeking professional advice and having clear contractual agreements can help strengthen IR35 defenses.
