Our tax compliance and advisory services includes –

VAT Advisory – We give our clients best advice on all aspects of UK and global VAT & customs duty, whether you are a global head of indirect tax or a sole trader we help to reduce the cost of VAT and duties, simplify procedures, and ensure compliance.

Capital Gains Tax Advisory – We can work with you from the very beginning, when first acquiring an asset, to the very end, when you are thinking of selling or gifting it away. Capital gains tax (CGT) is a tax on the profit – or gain – you make when selling an asset. You do not have to pay CGT if your gains for the tax year are below your yearly tax-free allowance.

Income Tax Planning – As the UK continues to emerge from the pandemic the future for UK taxes seems clear – increases are on the horizon. Planning for the future is therefore necessary and there has arguably never been a more important time to rethink your family’s or company’s tax plans. Currently, the UK tax system offers many different tax reliefs and allowances for individuals and businesses to encourage behaviours that help get the economy going again – from tax incentives to invest in new business equipment to tax reliefs on passing assets down to future generations. Contact us for comprehensive Income Tax Planning.

Corporate Tax Planning – Corporation Tax in the UK is anything but simple; it has seen multiple reforms over the years by various governments. Understanding Corporation Tax, how it works, and how it affects you and your business, has never been more important.

HMRC Investigations & Enquiries – Continuing developments in technology and legislation have increased HMRC officers’ scope of powers to visit premises and inspect financial records, driving the number of investigations to a record high. Anyone who has been the subject of a tax enquiry knows it is rarely a pleasant experience. Akram & Co. will help you resolve it quickly with the minimum of disruption to your daily life.

PAYE and National Insurance compliance – As an employer, you normally have to operate PAYE as part of your payroll. PAYE is HMRC’s system to collect Income Tax and National Insurance from employment.

Completion and Filing of Tax Returns – Whether the only entries on your Tax Return are salary and dividends, or you have a complex group of incorporated and non-incorporated businesses, we can relieve the headache associated with your tax obligations.
