Tax Advice, Services and Planning

We help minimise tax payable whilst complying with appropriate tax laws.

Optimising Tax Efficiency While Ensuring Compliance

Nobody wants to pay more tax than necessary, and at Alexander Vaughan, we understand this sentiment deeply. Our tax department operates on the philosophy that while we are dedicated to ensuring full compliance with all relevant tax laws, our primary goal is also to help you and your company arrange your financial affairs in a way that minimises your tax liabilities.

We are committed to providing not only thorough assistance with adhering to the tax regulations but also proactive advice on structuring your business and personal finances to achieve the most tax-efficient outcomes. Our approach involves carefully analysing your specific situation, exploring all available options, and implementing strategies that reduce your tax burden while maintaining compliance with legal requirements.

In essence, we aim to balance rigorous adherence to tax laws with innovative planning strategies, ensuring that you and your company are not only compliant but also optimally positioned to minimise tax payable.

Different Types of Tax

Corporation Tax

Tax represents a substantial cost to any profitable business, not only in terms of the tax itself but also in compliance with reporting obligations, investigations with tax authorities and penalties for non-compliance.

We can relieve you of any administrative burden of complying with tax legislation. We will deal with all company tax matters, including preparing corporation tax computations and preparing and submitting your corporation tax self-assessment return.

We will liaise fully with the HM Revenue & Customs on your behalf and ensure you have the most tax efficient structure for you and your business.

Inheritance Tax

Inheritance Tax is sometimes called a 'voluntary tax' by accountants simply because there is so much you can do to reduce its effect. Although it's something most of us don't want to think about it, it involves the two most certain things in the world ~ death and taxes. You can't do anything about the first, but prudent planning can reduce the pain of the second.

We are concerned about all aspects of succession planning, not only that you maximise the amount retained by your loved ones, but also ensuring a smooth transition of your business.

Business Tax

By preparing your accounts and tax return as soon as possible we make sure that you can budget for your coming tax payments well in advance - and we have time to look for ways to reduce them.

Personal Tax

We will prepare and submit your self-assessment returns with the minimum of fuss. By dealing with all of your personal & business affairs we can ensure that we look at the whole picture maximising potential savings.
