Corporate Taxation

Business tax represents a substantial part of your trading costs. Moreover, the increased reporting obligations, robust investigation policies on the part of the tax authorities, and harsher penalties for non-compliance mean that an undue amount of your time and resources can be taken up collecting revenue for the Government.

How We Add Value

  • Relieving you of the administrative burden of complying with tax legislation, giving you more time to focus on your business
  • Determining the most tax effective structure for your business
  • Taking full advantage of tax opportunities and reliefs specific to your industry
  • Achieving the optimum capital or revenue tax treatment
  • Reducing tax on disposals and maximising relief on acquisitions
  • Meeting the rigorous demands of compliance including corporation tax self-assessment
  • Acting on your behalf in discussions with the tax authorities

Efficient business tax planning can result in potentially significant improvements in your bottom line.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

It really helps to know that us entrepreneurs can get on with our business knowing that there are first-class professionals at close hand to fully support our endeavours.

Our tax affairs, both business and private, have been well managed by M+A Partners for more than ten years and we very much appreciate the help and excellent advice available. Queries are quickly answered by e-mail or telephone by any of the team dealing with taxation matters whom we find efficient, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. We also think that M+A offer a good reliable value for money service.

Our company is situated in the health sector which can be very difficult to understand but you and your team at M+A have always shown great insight in this area. I am really delighted to have moved to M+A as our accountants and having you as our dedicated partner has made it as smooth as possible a transition. I look forward to many more years working with M+A.

Having worked with Martyn Page and his tax team at M+A Partners, I remain consistently impressed with their ability to give clear, pragmatic and understandable advice in what is a very complex area. I have recommended the tax team at M+A Partners to clients for both personal and business matters and the feedback I have received has always been extremely positive.

Our taxation affairs are reasonably complex involving family trusts, tax planning and our annual tax returns. We enjoy a close and productive relationship with M+A and we particularly value the pro active nature of this relationship where potential issues are highlighted early so that appropriate planning can be made in good time.
