Corporate tax planning

Corporation tax represents a substantial part of your trading costs. Moreover, the increased reporting obligations, robust investigation policies on the part of the tax authorities, and harsher penalties for non-compliance mean that an undue amount of your time and resources can be taken up collecting revenue for the Government.

Bevan & Buckland offer a range of services to help you minimise your corporate tax exposure and relieve you of the administrative burden of complying with tax legislation. These include:  

  • Determining the most tax effective structure for your business
  • Taking full advantage of tax opportunities and reliefs
  • Achieving the optimum capital or revenue tax treatment
  • Reducing tax on disposals and maximising relief on acquisitions
  • Making the most of tax opportunities specific to your industry
  • Meeting the rigorous demands of compliance including corporation tax self assessment
  • Acting on your behalf in discussions with the tax authorities

Efficient corporate tax planning can result in potentially significant improvements in your bottom line.

The Tax Authorities are becoming more aggressive about how they deal with investigations. In 2004 an extra £4.5 billion was collected as a result. Under close scrutiny are trades, professions and limited companies that continue to be targeted specifically by the Inland Revenue.

They do not have to give a reason for investigating and even select some cases completely at random.

The cost of dealing with a HM Revenue & Customs enquiry is often high and can easily be more than the cost of preparing the accounts and tax returns that are under investigation.

Bevan & Buckland, working together with Professional Fees Protection can offer you cover against such an investigation.  Through the TaxMaster and PAYeMaster Policies, PFP can offer you an insurance that will pay up to £75,000 towards your accountants’ fees in the event of a tax investigation.

TaxMaster policies can cover:

  • •         Full Enquiries
  • •         VAT Disputes
  • •         PAYE Disputes
  • •         NIC Disputes
  • •         Aspect Enquires.
