General

What services does Accutax offer?

Do you work with businesses outside London?

Yes. We serve clients across the UK from our offices in London, Watford, and High Wycombe, as well as remotely. Distance is not a barrier to receiving our full service.

Tax & Accounting

Can you help me if I am behind on my tax returns?

Yes. We regularly help clients who are behind on self-assessment or company tax returns. We will bring your filings up to date, liaise with HMRC on your behalf, and put a plan in place going forward.

What is the difference between a sole trader and a limited company for tax purposes?

As a sole trader you pay Income Tax and National Insurance on your profits. As a limited company, the business pays Corporation Tax on profits, and you can draw a salary and dividends — often more tax-efficient once profits exceed a certain level. We can advise which structure is right for your situation.

Do you handle VAT registration and returns?

Yes. We assist with VAT registration, quarterly VAT return preparation and submission, and advising on the most suitable VAT scheme for your business.

Can you help with HMRC enquiries or investigations?

Absolutely. Our team has experience handling HMRC enquiries and investigations, including correspondence, document preparation, and representation throughout the process.

Switching Accountants

How easy is it to switch to Accutax from my current accountant?

Very straightforward. We manage the entire process — we contact your previous accountant for a professional clearance letter and obtain all necessary records. Most clients experience no disruption to their day-to-day operations.

Will there be a gap in service when I switch?

No. We plan the handover carefully to ensure continuity. Your deadlines and compliance obligations are covered throughout the transition.

Pricing & Engagement

How are your fees structured?

We offer transparent fixed-fee packages so you always know what you are paying. Fees depend on your business type and the services required. Visit our Pricing page for an overview, or book a consultation for a personalised quote.
