01
Tax Planning
We help you choose the most tax-efficient structure for your business, identify allowances such as the Annual Investment Allowance and R&D Tax Credits, and advise on strategies such as salary and dividend planning for directors.
02
Tax Review
We review your existing tax filings, identify any areas of risk or over-payment, and advise on how to reclaim any tax paid in error.
Representation
We provide active support during HMRC compliance checks and enquiries, and can represent your business through the Tax Tribunal process if needed.
Written Opinions
We prepare written tax opinions and can apply for advance clearance from HMRC in situations where certainty is important before taking action.
Why use a specialist?
UK tax law is complex and constantly changing. Missing an allowance or making an error can be costly. A qualified tax adviser is an investment that protects your wealth and often more than pays for itself in genuine savings.
Professional confidentiality
Everything you share with us is treated in strict confidence. We are bound by professional ethical standards and will never share your information without your permission.
Protecting directors and business owners
Good tax planning reduces the personal liability risk for directors and business owners, particularly in areas such as IR35 and employment status..
Peace of mind and security
Regular review of your tax account means we catch discrepancies early and keep your affairs in order throughout the year.
Deadline guarantee
We track every submission deadline so you never face late filing penalties from HMRC.
Acting as your agent
Once authorised, we manage all correspondence with HMRC directly, saving you time and stress.
Tax planning that actually makes a difference to your bottom line
Most business owners know they should be doing more to manage their tax position. What stops them is not unwillingness — it is not knowing where to start, or having an accountant who only ever deals with what has already happened rather than planning ahead.
ITS Accounting approaches tax differently. We look at your business as a whole — your current structure, your income, your investment plans, your long-term goals — and build a tax strategy that is genuinely aligned with where you want to go.
For limited company directors, that might mean optimising the balance between salary and dividends, making the most of pension contributions, or reviewing whether your current company structure is still the most efficient one. For growing businesses, it might mean exploring R&D Tax Credits if you are investing in innovation, or the Annual Investment
Allowance if you are spending on equipment. For those planning an exit, it could mean structuring things now so that Business Asset Disposal Relief is available when you need it.
We also help businesses that have never had a formal tax review understand what they may have been missing. Overpaid tax from previous years can sometimes be reclaimed. Risk areas can be identified and addressed before HMRC does it for you.
Tax planning is not a luxury reserved for large businesses. It is one of the highest-return investments any business owner can make — and it starts with a conversation.
Who benefits from tax advisory?
Any business owner, self-employed individual, or company director who wants to ensure they are not paying more tax than necessary or taking on avoidable risk.
How is a tax adviser different from an accountant?
An accountant prepares and files your returns. A tax adviser looks ahead, interprets how the law applies to your situation, and designs strategies to improve your position..
What taxes do you advise on?
Corporation Tax, Income Tax, VAT, Capital Gains Tax, Stamp Duty Land Tax, and business rates, among others.
