Core services

  • Pension savings tax charges

    You may have to pay a tax charge if your total pension savings during a year are more than the annual allowance (AA) for the tax year (plus any unused AA from the three previous tax years). Or, in certain circumstances, if your pension savings in defined contribution arrangements exceed the money purchase annual allowance.
    Where your threshold income plus pension inputs exceeds £200,000, you may be liable to reduced or tapered allowance. Where fluctuating earnings are concerned, making large pension contributions early in the tax year can lead to consequences later.
    We can advise you on ways to mitigate these charges.

  • Private practice structuring

    Effective tax structuring means you are compliant, but also reduces the amount of tax you pay to the minimum required by law.
    We will look at everything, from how your practice is structured and what allowances you claim to how you extract profits and what your succession plans are.

  • CGT/IHT planning

    Inheritance tax (IHT) is levied on a person’s estate when they die, and certain gifts made during an individual’s lifetime. 
    Capital gains tax (CGT) is payable when you sell relevant assets such as shares or property and make a profit in excess of the annual exemption.
    We are able to calculate the CGT that you have to pay on disposal, while advising on the reliefs and exemptions available, such as private residence relief.
    In seeking professional advice, there is scope for substantial savings surrounding CGT and IHT. We will tailor our strategy to fit your situation, taking into account your circumstances and aspirations, whilst focusing on your long-term financial security.

Added value services

National Insurance Contributions (NICs)

You may be paying more National Insurance than you need to. Collection of the different classes of contribution are handled separately during the year, meaning that mistakes can easily be made.
The National Insurance Contributions Office (NICO) is not obliged to check for overpayments at the end of the tax year, so overpayments are common and refunds are not automatically actioned. Shaw Gibbs can take the necessary steps to rectify this and get your money back.

Accounting software selection

Business information has never been more important. You need to understand your financial situation to be able to make fast, accurate decisions to seize opportunities. Choosing the right software will save you time and ensure that your business grows in the desired direction.
Our team of experts will review your systems, provide implementation support and ongoing training depending on your specific needs. Once software is in place, we can create tailored reports and show you how to extract valuable information for your business.

US tax compliance

Shaw Gibbs, working with a carefully selected IRS registered preparer, is able to assist US persons resident in the UK in becoming compliant with their annual filings and remaining US compliant, without incurring late filing penalties. For more information, personal tax - US tax compliance.

Payroll

There is ever increasing legislation surrounding Payroll for those wishing to pay themselves, their employees, spouses or dependants a salary.
Pensions and auto-enrolment are complicated areas, and the penalties in place for not adhering are particularly high.
We can set up your payroll and auto-enrolment schemes to guarantee full compliance, while meeting both internal and external deadlines. Furthermore, we can inform staff/others of the relevant legislative changes as they arrive.

I am able to ask Darshil questions which aren’t linked to a typical accounting service and he has always been able to help without fail. Every year, we have a meeting with Shaw Gibbs to discuss how everything is going and how we could move forward and this is incredibly useful.
