Filing and planning

Prepare the return. Surface the decisions first.

This service is intended for UK limited companies where the records, filing work and responsibilities can be agreed in writing.

Company tax return

  • Prepare the agreed company tax return and supporting computation
  • Review the final figures against the records supplied
  • Raise filing questions before submission
  • Confirm the agreed return is ready for approval

Planning before filing

Planning starts with current facts, not a promised tax outcome.

  • Identify decisions that may affect the company tax position
  • Explain which facts and documents are still needed
  • Record advice or specialist work that needs separate scope
  • Keep filing work distinct from promised outcomes

A clear boundary around the work

Suitability depends on the company position and records. We confirm the filing scope, responsibilities and any separate advice before work begins.

What we need from you

  • Complete records and supporting documents by the agreed dates
  • Answers to open questions from an authorised company contact
  • Approval of the return and computation before filing
  • Notice of relevant changes or transactions during the period

What is scoped separately

  • Personal tax returns, VAT, payroll and specialist tax advice
  • Historic corrections or incomplete bookkeeping
  • Tax authority enquiries, disputes or investigations
  • Restructuring, valuations or transaction-specific advice

Business tax questions, answered plainly.

The written engagement remains the source of truth for the exact work, timetable and responsibilities.

Does business tax planning guarantee a lower tax bill?

No. Planning identifies relevant decisions and information before filing, but it does not promise a particular tax outcome.

What happens if the bookkeeping is not ready?

We review the starting records first. Any bookkeeping corrections or catch-up work must be agreed separately before the tax work can move forward.

Is personal tax included with company tax work?

No. Personal tax returns and other taxes are separate services unless they are expressly included in the written engagement.

When should the business tax process begin?

Begin before the filing deadline leaves no room for questions. The exact timetable depends on the company records, year end and agreed scope.

Bookkeeping and accounts

Keep records current, close each period and understand what changed in the figures.
