Comprehensive Tax Return Services for UK & Guernsey Businesses

Filing accurate, optimised tax returns is fundamental to your business's financial health. Our expert tax return service ensures full compliance while strategically minimising your liabilities, giving you peace of mind and potentially significant savings.

Dual-Jurisdiction Tax Expertise

Navigating tax obligations requires specialised knowledge, particularly for businesses operating across different jurisdictions. Our team possesses in-depth understanding of both UK and Guernsey tax systems, including their unique regulations and how they interact. This dual expertise enables us to prepare precise returns that meet all local requirements while identifying cross-border efficiencies where applicable.

We maintain rigorous awareness of legislative changes in both jurisdictions, ensuring your filings always reflect current rules and take advantage of new opportunities as they emerge.

Meticulous Tax Return Preparation

Tax authorities demand complete accuracy in every submission. Our methodical approach to return preparation leaves no detail unchecked. We begin by thoroughly reviewing your financial records, identifying all relevant income streams, allowable expenses and potential reliefs.

For UK clients, we handle all aspects of corporation tax, partnership and personal tax returns, including complex areas like foreign income reporting. In Guernsey, we manage returns for both corporate and individual taxpayers, ensuring proper application of the island's distinctive tax regime.

Crucially, we monitor all filing deadlines vigilantly, submitting your returns well before due dates to avoid penalties and giving you certainty about your obligations.

Strategic VAT Compliance

VAT management requires particular care, especially for businesses trading internationally or operating under special schemes. Our VAT services extend beyond basic return filing to include:

• New VAT registration guidance.

• Regular return preparation and submission.

• EC Sales List and Intrastat reporting.

• Advice on VAT scheme eligibility.

• Planning for VAT cash flow optimisation.

We help you navigate complex scenarios like partial exemption calculations, reverse charge mechanisms and place of supply rules, ensuring both compliance and efficiency in your VAT position.

Optimising Your Tax Position

Our service delivers more than just compliance - we actively look for ways to improve your tax outcome. By thoroughly analysing your circumstances, we identify all applicable reliefs and allowances, from R&D tax credits to capital allowances and beyond.

We pay particular attention to timing strategies that can lawfully defer tax liabilities, improving your cash flow without compromising compliance. This proactive approach often reveals savings opportunities that businesses miss when focusing solely on basic return preparation.

Ongoing Tax Management Support

Tax obligations continue long after returns are filed. We provide comprehensive support throughout the year, including:

• Payment deadline reminders with calculated amounts.

• Payments on account planning.

• Tax cash flow forecasting.

• Correspondence handling with tax authorities.

• Query resolution and enquiry support.

When HMRC or Guernsey Revenue Service raise questions, we manage the entire process on your behalf - interpreting notices, preparing responses and negotiating optimal outcomes.

Integrated Tax Solutions

Our tax return service works seamlessly with our tax advisory offering, creating a complete solution that covers both compliance and strategic planning. This integrated approach ensures consistency between your tax filings and overall business strategy while eliminating the inefficiencies of using multiple providers.
