Taxation

As Chartered Tax Advisers, Cooper & Dean can assist you with all areas of taxation. This includes completing tax returns for all types of clients; individuals with investment or rental income, directors of companies, or people running their own businesses, whether they are partners or sole traders. We can also advise on capital gains tax (particularly if you ask our advice before making any decisions), inheritance tax and National Insurance.

For companies, we can complete all the necessary calculations and forms relating to corporation tax and plan the most tax efficient method of taking funds out of the company.

We will communicate with the Revenue on your behalf in all these areas - just forward to us any correspondence you receive and let us do the rest.

If you should be selected for an inspection or enquiry we can attend meetings and handle all the correspondence on your behalf.

Accounting

Whether you have a small business or a medium sized company, we can prepare your year end accounts from manual records, a spreadsheet or a commercial software package. If you need advice on the best way of keeping records for your business we can provide this too.

If you would like, we can produce monthly or quarterly management accounts so you can keep an eye on the progress of your business without having to wait for year end figures.

VAT

We can advise you on all aspects of VAT: when, and whether, to register (we can complete this process for you), which scheme to use, and help with any ad-hoc queries you may have.

Let us complete your returns for you, and when it comes to the end of the year we will already have prepared some of the work towards your accounts.

Payroll

Our payroll services include running weekly or monthly (or in a few cases annual) payrolls, whether it is just for the directors or for much larger numbers of employees. All the necessary forms, such as P45, P46, P60 and P35, will be completed for you and submitted to the Revenue online. You will be sent the payslips for your employees and told how much to pay over to HMRC, and when.

Benefit in kind forms (P11Ds) are another area where we can help, whether or not we prepare your payroll. We can advise on how to calculate the amounts due, which payments to employees are considered benefits, or how it will affect an individuals tax position.

Business start up

Just because you have a good business idea and the enthusiasm to make it work you may not know the most tax effective way to arrange things, or even what your obligations are. We can discuss the options with you so that the business is on the right footing from the start, and even form a company for you if that is the best way.

We will register you with all the relevant authorities, assist with all the paperwork, even set up bookkeeping systems and make sure you know what needs to be done when.

Company secretarial

Not only can we form a company for you, we can look after all the obligations for keeping statutory books up to date, registering forms with Companies House, preparing minutes of meetings and dividend vouchers.

We can also ensure that you do not miss a deadline, and we are registered to complete most forms online so that in some cases you have longer before they have to be submitted.
