Sole Trader Accounting

Structuring Your Affairs in the Most Tax Efficient Manner

Whether you are currently a sole trader or are considering your options for starting a business, we can help. We have years of experience we can share with you. Whatever your situation we can help you to structure your affairs to be as tax efficient as possible.

MAKING MONEY!

We will ensure that the profit and loss account declared in your annual personal tax return is accurate. A significant element is to ensure all relevant expenses, within the parameters of established tax legislation and guidance provided by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), are claimed.

Years of experience have taught us how to position our affairs. As a result, you will pay as little tax as possible, whilst ensuring a fully defensible position in the unlikely event of an HMRC Enquiry. We can advise you on expense management. In particular which expenses to include and others which you may use for personal and business use.

As a sole trader, certainty on your future tax payments is important and at Haggards Crowther we know that; we will calculate your payments on account, so you have visibility of your future tax payments as early as possible.

If you don’t want to manage your day-to-day accounting affairs, we can also support you with services including:

• Bookkeeping
• VAT
• And payroll
