BUSINESS START-UP
As a new business you are bombarded with advice from all sides, often of mixed quality. Consequently, finding reliable advice is a real breath of fresh air. Most people who start up in business do so because they have the combination of a good business proposition and the enterprise and commitment to see it through. Not because they are experts in the legal and financial aspects of running a business.
The last thing you want is to feel constrained by reams of daunting paperwork and cumbersome red tape. What you do need is the support infrastructure of a highly experienced team. That is where we fit in. Bring us your business ideas. We will act as a sounding board and help you evaluate them in a constructive and realistic manner. We think you will find our approach refreshing.
Our integrated business start-up services include:
Deciding on the most suitable structure for your business - sole trader, partnership, or limited company
Preparing a business plan, cash flow projections, budgets, and trading forecasts
Completing any registration procedures with Companies House and HMRC

At The Tax Shop we hope you will find our approach refreshing - we optimize your tax position and ensure you meet all the compliance requirements.
Every pound of income tax you save means more income at your disposal, every well planned disposal of assets means minimal loss to capital gains, and every inheritance tax saving means more wealth for your beneficiaries. Let us take a fresh look at your personal tax issues and turn them into opportunities.

CORPORATE TAX PLANNING
You may find tax planning a daunting prospect. We help you minimize your corporate tax exposure. Resulting in an even healthier financial position and yielding potentially significant improvements in your bottom line.
Corporation tax clearly represents a substantial part of your trading costs. Also, increased reporting obligations, robust investigation policies and harsher penalties for non-compliance mean that an undue element of your time and resources is presently taken up collecting revenue for the Government. We liberate your business from the administrative burden of complying with tax legislation and lead discussions with the tax authorities, allowing you to focus on building a strong, healthy business.
Our corporate tax planning services 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 maximizing relief on acquisitions
Making the most of tax opportunities specific to your industry
Meeting the rigorous demands of compliance including corporation tax self assessment

SELF ASSESSMENT
The term 'self assessment' is proving to be one of the great misnomers of all time. Many taxpayers struggle to understand the complex tax returns and complete them correctly. The constant stream of changes to tax legislation means not only that the returns are becoming ever more difficult to understand but also that taxpayers risk incurring more penalties through failing to complete their returns on time or correctly.
We can save you a lot of time, worry, and money by handling your self assessment for you. We will do all the necessary computations, complete your return and offer jargon-free advice on how you might minimize your tax liability.
Our integrated self assessment services include:
Assessing your tax situation
Analyzing your allowances
Preparing accurate calculations
Completing your returns
Liaising with the HMRC
Appraising you of legislative changes

H. M. REVENUE & CUSTOMS ENQUIRIES
One of the major departments of H M Revenue & Customs is known as The Compliance Unit. They ensure that taxpayers, individuals and corporate entities, account to the Government for the correct amount of their respective liabilities to taxation. Their real function is to seek out and assess taxpayers who have underpaid their liabilities. The reasons for underpayment are numerous from honest mistake to intentional fraud. The officers in the specialist units are skilled in carrying out risk assessment of tax payers returns. The penalties that can be imposed are severe and in the more serious cases a prosecution could ensue. The cost of the enquiry can be significant not just in terms of tax, interest and penalties but in the time and effort required from the tax payer.
There is no need to feel exposed - come to The Tax Shop. We will ensure your views are aired professionally.

VAT PLANNING & COMPLIANCE
Value added tax is one of the most complex and stifling tax regimes imposed on business - so complex that many businesses inadvertently overpay or underpay VAT.
The ever widening scope of VAT, the constant stream of detailed changes to the regulations, and the ever growing demands of Customs and Excise call for a trained professional eye to ensure that you do not fall foul of the regulations and do not pay the Exchequer more than you need to.
Our integrated VAT planning and compliance services include:
Assisting with VAT registration
Advising on VAT planning and administration
Using the most appropriate scheme
Reconciling VAT and control measures
Helping with the completion of VAT returns
Planning to minimize future problems with Customs and Excise including dispute resolution and representing you at VAT tribunals
