SELF ASSESSMENT ACCOUNTANTS THAT ENSURE COMPLIANCE
Speak with our self assessment accountantsThere’s much more to tax compliance than submitting your annual tax return. From our perspective, it’s an important opportunity to look behind the numbers and recommend any tax planning strategies to mitigate your short and long term tax exposure.
Our dedicated self assessment accountants will take the time to get to know you, so you can benefit from relevant advice that’s appropriate to your circumstances. Beyond ensuring you meet all your statutory obligations, we’ll identify tax saving opportunities and give you the confidence that you’re paying the right amount of tax, now and in the future.
SUBMITTING YOUR RETURNS ACCURATELY AND ON TIME
Completing Self-Assessment Tax Returns is probably not your favourite activity, so we’ll relieve you of that burden, at the same providing the reassurance that your liability has been accurately calculated, all appropriate reliefs are claimed and that you are compliant with deadlines for submitting returns and making payments to HMRC.
As tax becomes more digitised and HMRC increases its scrutiny, so there’s a greater risk of incurring penalties if there are mistakes in your Return or something is overlooked. Our expert self assessment accountants’ attention to detail will pick up any errors and, by checking statements from HMRC and reviewing your tax codes, highlight any discrepancies on their part, which we will then discuss with them.
I have been a personal tax client of AAB for a number of years and in that time they have guided me through the tax return process and provided me with specialist advice relating to my non-resident tax position.

SOFTENING THE IMPACT OF TAX DISCLOSURE
Sometimes we discover that a client has underpaid tax or failed to pay it at all. If this happens, the best course of action is to disclose it to HMRC voluntarily. Whilst the tax must still be paid, the penalties applied can be lower and as the case is resolved more quickly, the fees involved will be lower too.
If it’s HMRC who discover that tax has been underpaid or unpaid, there are greater consequences. The penalty for avoiding tax by using offshore schemes could be up to 200% of the tax due, and there’s the potential reputational stigma of HMRC’s ‘Name and Shame’ policy. In this case, it’s also best to make a disclosure as soon as possible. We can provide HMRC with a full, detailed disclosure which should reduce penalties, and if necessary, we can negotiate with HMRC to achieve the best possible outcome.
