Tax

Unfortunately, there’s no escaping it. But tax is about more than just about paying what you owe. It’s about efficiency and planning, so you never pay over the odds again. From the simplest of issues to the most in-depth and complicated, we’ll make tax feel a whole lot less taxing.

  • VAT, PAYE and corporation tax
  • Tax planning
  • Personal tax

 

Freelancers

A flexible form of working is operating as a contractor. We advise clients on the most efficient vehicle (Sole Trader, LLP, Limited Company) and offer a hassle free service that allows you to concentrate on getting the job done. Accounting services for contractors shouldn’t have to be complicated; we make sure it isn’t.

Auto-enrolment

Auto-enrolment has been one of the buzzwords of employment since the new legislation landed in October 2012, and it means that all eligible bachelors employees have to be enrolled automatically into a qualifying pension scheme. You, as an employer, will have a specific Staging Date (which we can provide to you), by which time all of those eligible employees must be enrolled.

Auto-enrolment setup – What we can do for you

We can help you with all your legal obligations and duties, to help you through the journey of Auto-enrolment.

Preparation is key with Auto-enrolment; you should start preparing and implementing systems at least 6 months in advance. When it comes to preparation, we can:

•    handle the whole online setup process for you
•    do all of the auto-enrolment planning on your behalf
•    nominate contacts for your business, so employees know who to talk to if they need
•    set up milestone dates so you never miss a deadline
•    get the whole system primed for implementation

Ongoing auto-enrolment services

Never let an employee fall through the cracks. Setup is only the first step. Once the system is ready to use, we can handle the implementation of it too, so that your employee enrolment is kept properly up to date. Every payroll period we will:

•    run your auto-enrolment assessments
•    send the pension files to the appropriate pension provider
•    distribute auto-enrolment pension letters, payslips, and P60s to your staff

To make your life even easier, you can have our payroll and auto-enrolment services all rolled into one. Thanks to our super smart software, we can assess your employees as part of the payroll process, and auto-enrol them into the correct pension scheme. It also allows employees to access any pension communications, payslips, and P60s directly through their smart phone or tablet, meaning you don’t have to bear the administrative burden of distributing them.
