Understanding Your Tax Needs: Why Choose a Tax Advisor?
Let’s be honest – as a business, you have tonnes of stuff to deal with—tax returns, VAT payments, meeting deadlines, and more. Amidst all this stuff, the complex and changing tax regulations in the UK can easily overwhelm you if you try to manage it all alone. The consequences can be even more drastic—any mistake in tax returns, HMRC non-compliance or missed deadlines can cause you to face penalties.
Chances are, you fail to recognise tax-saving opportunities such as Business Property Relief or capital allowances and overpay tax. And the stress of trying to understand complex regulations takes time away from running your business.
This is where professional tax advisors come into play. They don't just help with HMRC compliance or tax filing; they ensure you keep most of your hard-earned money.
Our expert qualified accountants specialise in tax and accounting services. We actively look for opportunities to optimise your tax position, plan ahead for major life or business changes, and give you peace of mind.
Whether you're a startup or an established business, we're here to help you every step of the way.
Our Tax Planning and Advisory Services
Our comprehensive tax advice services include:
Personal Tax Services
Managing your personal tax comes with a lot of responsibilities. At A & Co Accountants, we can take care of everything related to your personal tax return – from self-assessment tax returns to complex inheritance tax planning. Personal tax return filing comes as standard with both the Simple Package and the Simple Plus Package.
Our personal tax services include:
Self-Assessment Tax Return
Your dedicated accountant will help prepare and file your self-assessment tax returns on time. We ensure you claim all legal allowances and reliefs you are entitled to. Our self-assessment tax return services also include income tax optimisation through strategic planning of salary, dividends, and pension contributions—helping you structure your income in the most tax-efficient way.
Capital Gains Tax Planning
If you're selling property, you can use our capital gains tax planning to lower your CGT liability through timing strategies and relief claims. We also provide inheritance tax planning through trusts, gifting strategies, and Business Property Relief to help minimise taxes for your beneficiaries and secure your property.
Residence Status Advice
Our expat tax services include residence status advice, foreign income reporting, and help with double taxation relief for those working abroad or not based in the UK.
We simplify complex situations, turning challenges into clear solutions.
Business Tax Services
We don't want you to spend evenings and weekends grappling with VAT returns and corporate taxes. We have years of experience working with businesses across the UK to help them operate in the most tax-efficient way possible.
Corporation Tax Planning
At A & Co Accountants, we ensure you claim all allowable reliefs, including capital allowances. Your corporation tax payment is due at HMRC 9 months and 1 day after your year-end, and we'll inform you of the amount based on your monthly reports—giving you plenty of time to prepare with no nasty surprises.
VAT Returns & Compliance
When it comes to VAT, we keep you hassle-free. Our comprehensive VAT services include VAT registration, quarterly VAT returns, and expert VAT scheme advice to help you select the most appropriate option for your needs. Your VAT is due to HMRC quarterly, one month after each quarter ends. We'll calculate and submit your VAT return on your behalf.
Payroll & Tax-Efficient Remuneration
At A & Co Accountants, our expert payroll team ensures you get tailored and confidential payroll services. With us, you'll get monthly payslips clearly stating the amount you need to pay yourself. We help you balance salary and dividends to maximise your take-home pay.
IR35 Compliance for Contractors
If you're a contractor, you need to comply with IR35 regulations. IR35 sets out rules to define whether you operate as an employee or are self-employed.
This matters because it determines how much tax you owe. Your status should be reviewed on a contract-by-contract basis by an expert for HMRC compliance. Our Simple Plus Package includes unlimited IR35 contract reviews to help you navigate these complex rules.
Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)
We have helped hundreds of construction businesses in the UK to efficiently manage their accounts and comply with the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS). We keep you well aware of your entitlements so you can operate most tax-efficiently.
Specialist Tax Advisory
As a business, you may sometimes face complex tax issues that need expert intervention. We support you in such situations that go beyond standard compliance.
For example, you can find it stressful when you get a letter from HMRC for investigation. At A & Co Accountants, we are happy to handle all communications with HMRC, prepare responses, and negotiate with them on your behalf. Early involvement of experts usually results in lower chances of penalties and better outcomes.
Types of Tax Advisors: How to Find the Right Fit for Your Business
Not all tax advisers offer the same level of expertise, so choosing the right one depends on your business structure, industry, and tax requirements. Here are some of the most common types of tax advisors in the UK and when they may be the right fit for you:
Chartered Tax Advisors (CTA)
Chartered Tax Advisors are CTA-qualified professionals certified by the Chartered Institute of Taxation. They specialise in advanced tax planning and are often the best choice for businesses with complex tax structures, high-value assets, or specialist tax concerns.
Accountants With Tax Expertise
Many businesses prefer working with accountants who combine accounting and tax advisory services under one roof. This approach gives you access to year-round financial guidance, tax compliance support, bookkeeping, payroll, and strategic tax planning all in one place.
At A & Co Accountants, our experienced team delivers tailored tax advice designed around your business goals, helping you remain compliant while improving tax efficiency.
Industry-Specific Tax Advisors
Some tax advisers focus on niche industries with unique tax requirements. This can be especially valuable for sectors with changing regulations or specialised compliance obligations.
Our team has extensive experience supporting:
- Contractors and freelancers
- Construction companies and
- CIS subcontractors
- Medical professionals
- Sole traders and online sellers
We also provide guidance on specialist areas such as IR35 legislation, CIS compliance, and expat taxation.
Former HMRC Specialists
Advisors with previous HMRC experience can offer valuable insight into how investigations, inspections, and appeals are handled internally. This experience can help businesses navigate compliance checks more confidently and communicate more effectively with HMRC when issues arise.
At A & Co Accountants, our team includes former HMRC inspectors, strengthening our ability to support clients during audits, disputes, and compliance reviews.
Transparent Pricing: What Does Tax Advice Cost With Us?
At A & Co Accountants, our all-inclusive monthly packages come at a fixed, transparent rate. You know what you're charged and for what services.
Our monthly packages include:
- Your dedicated qualified accountant
- Corporation tax planning and returns
- VAT returns submitted quarterly on your behalf
- Payroll services with monthly payslips
- Annual accounts preparation
- Tax planning reviews
- Unlimited email and phone support (all returned within 24 hours) and

The Simple and Simple Plus packages cover personal tax return filing, and the latter also offers unlimited IR35 contract reviews.
Apart from the list above, you can buy additional services at transparent rates. For example, same-day company incorporation service is available at an additional one-off cost of £150.
For a dormant company, our fees reduce to £20 + VAT per month for continued support.
How much you need to pay for our services depends on several factors, such as the size and complexity of your business, monthly transactions you make, specific business requirements, the level of VAT and payroll services required, etc. You can always reach out to us for a personalised quote.
Choosing the Right UK Tax Adviser

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use a tax accountant?
If you need anything beyond PAYE and deal with capital gains, complex deductions, or rental income, you can seek expert tax advice. The peace of mind alone is often worth it, not to mention the tax-saving opportunities you'd likely miss on your own.
Can a tax advisor save me money?
In short, yes. Good tax advisors help figure out legal allowances and reliefs you didn't know existed. They can structure your affairs tax-efficiently and plan ahead to reduce future liabilities. Our expert tax advisors regularly help clients claim all allowable expenses, optimise their salary-dividend split, and ensure they operate most tax-efficiently.
Can a tax advisor help with HMRC investigations?
Yes, and professional representation can save you from hefty penalties. We manage all communications with HMRC, prepare responses, negotiate for you, and protect your rights throughout the process.
What is IR35?
IR35 sets out rules to determine whether you operate as an employee or are self-employed. This is called "status," which, as we said, should be reviewed regularly on a contract-by-contract basis.
What are dividends?
Dividends are the amounts of a company's profits divided among shareholders after paying tax. We recommend getting paid as dividends, as you owe no National Insurance on dividend payments. We'll help you find the optimal balance between salary and dividends to maximise your take-home pay.
When is Corporation Tax payable?
Your corporation tax payment must be submitted to HMRC 9 months and 1 day following the end of your financial year. We will inform you of the amount due based on the monthly reports you provide, ensuring you receive ample notification regarding any corporation tax obligations you need to settle.
Do you need help with your Tax Return Filing?
Let us assist you if you are grappling with self-assessment deadlines, are uncertain about allowable expenses, or require confidence that your filing is completely accurate. Personal tax return submission is a feature of both our Simple and Simple Plus Packages.
