Too busy for tax

Completing a tax return is becoming more complicated each year.

Changes to tax rules can trip up even the most cautious of tax payers and HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) is using its tight resources to invest in systems that flag tax issues requiring investigation.

At Saffery we have great experience in guiding clients through the perils of a tax enquiry. Our role is to provide HMRC with the information they need as efficiently as possible in order to close down the investigation, whilst providing our clients with reassurance on their own position. We put HMRC’s questions in context, explain how the process will work and help ensure that innocent errors do not escalate.

If your taxes are not up to date, we can help you get back on track. We assist our clients to stay on top of their financial planning and help with prioritising key areas of concern. In the case of unwelcome letters from HMRC, we offer comprehensive fee insurance to cover our costs in dealing with unwelcome enquiries into your annual tax return.

• Reviewing your overall asset position to maximise tax efficiency.
