Qualified, personal, accountable

Who handles your tax

Your tax affairs are handled personally by our senior tax adviser: qualified with the ACCA and the ATT, a registered HMRC agent, and a personal tax specialist rather than a generalist with tax on the side. That expertise was built over more than 25 years, including time at some of the UK’s largest tax practices and at specialist tax firms, and it is now applied personally to clients across Kent and Medway. You deal with the same qualified adviser from the first conversation to the final filing. Nothing is passed to a junior team, an outsourced processor or a call centre, and every return is prepared and checked by the adviser whose qualifications you can see above.

Choosing the right help

Do you need a tax adviser or an accountant?

Most people searching for an accountant in Kent actually need something more specific. The two roles overlap, but they are not the same job, and knowing the difference can save you both money and frustration.

What an accountant does. A general accountancy practice looks after the whole financial picture of a business: bookkeeping, annual accounts, payroll, company filings and management figures. Tax is part of the service, but it is one strand among many, and in most general practices the majority of the year is spent on accounts preparation rather than tax work. If you run a limited company that needs statutory accounts, a payroll run and a company tax return, an accountant is exactly what you need.

Your Common Personal Tax Questions Answered

How far back can HMRC investigate my tax affairs?

Routine enquiry: 12 months from the filing deadline. Careless behaviour: up to 6 years. Deliberate behaviour (concealment): up to 20 years. Offshore income: up to 12 years. Unfiled returns: no time limit; HMRC can assess at any point.

How do I know if my tax code is wrong?

Tax codes are estimates, so they drift whenever your income, benefits or expenses change. Warning signs include an unexpected P800 calculation, a code that differs from the standard one without explanation, or a second job taxed at BR. We review your code and request an amendment from HMRC where it is wrong.

What is the Self Assessment filing deadline?

For online returns, the deadline is 31 January. Paper returns must be filed by 31 October. Tax owed is also due by 31 January. Payments on account (if applicable) are due 31 January and 31 July. Missing these deadlines triggers automatic penalties starting at £100.

What costs can I deduct to reduce my CGT liability?

Original purchase price, stamp duty at purchase, solicitor and surveyor fees at purchase and sale, estate agent commission, and capital improvement costs (extensions, conversions, structural work, not routine repairs). Every deductible cost reduces the gain. At 24%, a £10,000 improvement cost saves £2,400 in CGT.

I am employed full-time, do I need a Self Assessment return?

Usually not, but you must file if you earn over £100,000 (personal allowance taper); have employment income where you owe tax HMRC cannot collect via your code; receive taxable state benefits or pension not covered by PAYE; have untaxed savings or investment income over £10,000; or receive the High Income Child Benefit Charge. Many employed people are surprised to find they must file.

See What Clients Across Kent Say About Our Personal Tax Services

We take pride in providing trusted personal tax support across Kent, with client feedback reflecting our commitment to clear advice, professional service, and dependable support from start to finish.

I had been with a high street accountant for years and felt like just another number. Switched over and the difference was noticeable straightaway. Much more personal and they actually take the time to explain things rather than just sending you a bill.

Karen Curtis
Customer - Self Assessment Tax Returns in Kent
My rental income tax returns have been managed for three years now. Every year I’m kept on top of Section 24 changes and every allowable expense is claimed. I trust them completely with my tax affairs.

Lisa Hartley
Customer - Landlord Tax Return in Kent
I left my return until late January and was in a bit of a panic. Got in touch and they turned it around fast with no drama. Everything was filed on time and I paid less than I expected. Really took the stress out of it.
