Self employed

Many people would like the freedom of being your own boss, work the hours you desire when you want.

The downside is the administrative tasks that come along with that, one of which is your personal tax return which we can take care of.

Being self employed is one of the easiest way to trade compared to a Limited company which is more complex.

There are however many rules regarding what you can and cannot claim so it is important you claim what you are entitled to, that is where we can help.

We are expert tax accountants so can advise you on what you can and cannot claim.

If the world of self-assessments all new to you we can register you and act on your behalf as agent to take the hassle out it because talking to HMRC can be daunting.

Landlords

Many people own rental properties. Rules and regulations are frequently becoming more complex so it is easy to get confused!

We can prepare property accounts for you and include on your tax return if you have other sources of income. Whether you own a rental property in Gloucester or a holiday home in France we can help.

Partnerships

A partnership is a good way for two or more people to trade if you do not want to trade through a Limited company.

It is fairly similar to a sole trader because a tax return is still submitted to HMRC, in this case however a partnership return is prepared with the profits usually split 50/50 but it can be a different split if required.

Capital Gains

When assets such as company shares and second properties are sold any profits made( or loss ) will need to be reported and the tax due paid to HMRC.

Have you recently sold a property that is not your primary home? If so the capital gain on this will need to be reported and paid within 60 days of completion.

We specialise in capital gains and are here to help. The rules for this are different than other capital gains due to the stricter reporting timeframe.
