Payroll
Paying your employees seems easy, but it’s not just about ensuring they're paid. As well as working out the rates, there are National Insurance, tax and workplace pension deductions. If you get it wrong, you could end up having to explain the issue to HMRC, and your employee!
Let us take away the stress. We can set up and administer your payroll, and even help with contracts of employment, should you need it.
Keeping you compliant
We will keep your business legally compliant, submit your HMRC reports and ensure all pension procedures are in place. With all of the laws governing the employer/employee relationships, you don’t want to make time consuming and costly mistakes
TAX & VAT
Do you know how to fill in a tax return and when it needs submitting by? There are strict deadlines to meet and you could face penalties if you get it wrong!
Self-Assessment
Whether a sole trader or a limited company, most owners need to complete a self-assessment tax return every tear. This can be complicated, especially for sole traders, or if you have more than one job, property income or have interest from savings.
Corporation Tax
Limited companies have to submit corporation tax returns to HMRC yearly. This is usually done alongside your year-end accounts. Having a qualified accountant will ensure that tax bills are kept to a minimum and within legal requirements.
VAT
If your turnover exceeds the yearly threshold, you are required by law to become VAT registered. Do you know what this means for your business? Do you know what VAT you can claim? Do you know the percentages for your service or product?
You also have the added responsibility of preparing and submitting VAT returns every quarter. Get them wrong and it may result in a visit from a VAT inspector.
Just hand it over to us, and we’ll take care of it!
