Corporation tax services

As a business owner, the legal responsibility for correctly calculating and paying your corporation tax liability falls on you. We understand that this can put a heavy burden on your time and internal resources, and with increased reporting obligations and investigations by HMRC, any inaccuracies can lead to penalties.

We can register your company for corporation tax and prepare and file your returns on your behalf. We can also work to minimise your corporation tax liability by advising on tax-deductible expenses, purchases and R&D credits.    

VAT registration and filing

The ever-changing regulations and growing demands of HMRC make VAT compliance a time-consuming process. At HGC, we can register your business for VAT, make sure VAT is charged on your invoices and prepare and file quarterly VAT returns digitally with HMRC. If you are still working with spreadsheets, we can save you time and make sure your business is Making Tax Digital compliant.

Self assessment compliance

Whether you’re a company director, sole trader, freelancer, landlord or anyone with untaxed income to report, we can ensure your compliance with the self assessment income tax rules. We can complete your return and calculate any tax liability on your behalf, advise you on allowable expenses and make sure you are aware in advance how much money you should set aside to pay your income tax bill.

Personal tax planning (including sole traders and partnerships)

We are specialists in income tax, capital gains tax and inheritance tax. Our tax accountants will discuss your options with you and work to understand your personal position before creating a strategy that works for you.

Tax investigations and enquiries

No individual or business is immune from a tax investigation or enquiry. The process can be stressful and worrying and it can be difficult to know how to respond to information requests and what details you should provide.

At HGC, we have a wealth of experience dealing with HMRC investigations. Whether it’s an enquiry into a tax return or a full investigation into your company’s affairs, we can minimise the stress, communicate with HMRC on your behalf and guide you to an appropriate resolution.
