What's involved
Here's exactly what's involved — and how your own named accountant handles each part for you.
Corporation tax and Self Assessment, planned year-round
Filing a return is the easy part. The value is in the planning we do before your year end, when there is still time to act — reviewing how profit is taxed, how it is drawn and which allowances apply.
How corporation tax is charged in 2025/26
The rate your company pays depends on its profit. Companies with profits in the band between the two thresholds pay an effective marginal rate of around 26.5%, which is why managing the timing of income and costs can matter.
Self Assessment deadlines and payments on account
If you are a director, landlord or sole trader, you will usually need to file a Self Assessment return. The deadlines are fixed and the penalties automatic, so we keep you ahead of every one.
Salary and dividend planning for director-shareholders
If you own and run your company, how you pay yourself makes a real difference. We model the mix of salary and dividends to suit your circumstances, factoring in your allowances and the relevant dividend tax rates.
Allowances on equipment, vehicles and investment
If your business invests in equipment, the right capital allowances can give you valuable relief in the year you spend. We make sure qualifying purchases are claimed correctly and timed to your advantage.
Pensions as a planning lever
Pension contributions are one of the most effective tools available to business owners, letting you extract profit tax-efficiently while building for the future.
