Personal Tax
What is Personal Tax?
​
The individual income tax (or personal income tax) is a tax levied on the wages, salaries, dividends, interest, and other income a person earns throughout the year.
Why is it so important?
​
It remains your obligation to be aware of, declare and pay any taxes due under self assessment. HMRC don’t accept ignorance as an excuse here. If you pay tax late then interest will run from the date the tax is due, along with other additional penalties you may face if you do not declare your income and tax.
How We Help:
​
We’ll walk you through all the process; what records are needed, what and how to pay and can even act as your agent to discuss matters with HMRC.
Thoroughly addressing each aspect and section of your tax return so you understand every aspect of it, explaining how your tax is calculated and ensure you have complete comfort with how we pull everything together.
Once you have given us the OK, we will then submit your return to HM Revenue & Customs on your behalf. For sole traders, pulling together your taxes goes hand in hand with other services you might need, such as payroll and VAT.

CAPITAL GAINS TAX
​
Capital Gains Tax (CGT) arises on the disposal of an asset. In most cases, this means a sale but it can also apply to a gift or compensation for loss or damage to an asset.
An asset can mean shares, property, works of art or intellectual rights. In each tax year, CGT is charged on the net total of your gains after deducting any allowable losses realised in the year or brought forward from earlier tax years.
​
An annual exemption is available to all taxpayers so that a certain amount of net gains are completely free of CGT. Beyond this, the gains are charged at set rates of tax. There are certain other reliefs and exemptions available. For instance, CGT does not apply to the sale of an individual’s only or main residence and shares held in an Individual Savings Account are also exempt.
For business assets, it may be possible to defer capital gains by claiming rollover relief where the proceeds are reinvested in other business assets.
INHERITANCE TAX
​
Inheritance tax is a tax on your estate paid after you’ve passed. Your estate includes property, assets and money – all that stuff you’ve worked hard to build up over the years. If your estate is worth more than £325,000 (the 2020/21 threshold) you’ll probably need to pay inheritance tax.
​
We’ll look at your total estate, from personal property to business assets, and help you identify opportunities to, for example:
-
make use of nil-rate band transfers
-
make gifts to family members
-
donate to charity
-
employ trusts
