Tax support

The returns

We prepare and file the monthly return, which brings together VAT, withholding tax, stamp duty and the levies charged on wages. We also prepare the annual tax return and the return package, along with the instalments on account paid during the year.

• The single monthly return
• Annual tax return and return package
• Instalments on account
• The employer’s annual return

VAT

We establish the treatment of each of your transactions, follow recoverable VAT and the recovery percentage where one applies, and handle claims for repayment of VAT credits where your position allows it. The rate depends on the nature of the transaction and on the finance act in force, so we check it each year rather than assuming it has held still.

Withholding tax

When you pay fees, rent, commissions or a non-resident supplier, it is for you to withhold the tax and pay it over. We establish the rate that applies to each payment under the finance act in force, reconcile the amounts withheld to the books, and prepare the certificates for each recipient.

Tax audits

If an audit is opened we support you at every stage: preparing the file, responding to the notice, dealing with the inspector and following the dispute if disagreement continues. A file kept properly over years is the best defence there is.
