In all cases we can help by taking a look at your situation, email us with your questions, your initial chat is FREE. Here are some checklists to reduce the amount of tax you pay:

Employees

  • Maximise personal allowances through things like ISAs, analysis of company car structure, capital disposal scheduling etc.
  • Run a part time home business so that you have a "Self Employed" status.  This is one of the most effective tax benefits available, and unknown by most people.
  • Keep tidy paperwork to allow analysis of your position.

Self Employed / Companies
