There are a number of deadlines and responsibilities that tax payers need to be aware of, and completing a filing a tax return can be complicated. We can take that worry away from you, and by acting as your agent, deal directly with HMRC on your behalf, leaving you time to concentrate on running your business. It is not the role of HMRC to advise you on how to organise your tax affairs, therefore if you want to make sure you are paying the right amount of tax, why not consult a professional. Without the proper advice, you could find you pay the wrong amount, and the burden of tax compliance ultimately lies with you and mistakes can carry heavy penalties.
