Qualified, personal, accountable

Who handles your tax

Your tax affairs are handled personally by our senior tax adviser: qualified with the ACCA and the ATT, a registered HMRC agent, and a personal tax specialist rather than a generalist with tax on the side. That expertise was built over more than 25 years, including time at some of the UK’s largest tax practices and at specialist tax firms, and it is now applied personally to clients across Kent and Medway. You deal with the same qualified adviser from the first conversation to the final filing. Nothing is passed to a junior team, an outsourced processor or a call centre, and every return is prepared and checked by the adviser whose qualifications you can see above.

Choosing the right help

Do you need a tax adviser or an accountant?

Most people searching for an accountant in Kent actually need something more specific. The two roles overlap, but they are not the same job, and knowing the difference can save you both money and frustration.

What an accountant does. A general accountancy practice looks after the whole financial picture of a business: bookkeeping, annual accounts, payroll, company filings and management figures. Tax is part of the service, but it is one strand among many, and in most general practices the majority of the year is spent on accounts preparation rather than tax work. If you run a limited company that needs statutory accounts, a payroll run and a company tax return, an accountant is exactly what you need.

Your Common Personal Tax Questions Answered

Do I pay tax on savings interest and dividends?

Both have their own tax-free allowances, and the savings allowance shrinks for higher-rate taxpayers and disappears entirely for additional-rate taxpayers. Income above the allowance is taxed at rates set by your overall income band. Banks report interest to HMRC automatically, but dividends are not reported, so the liability is easily missed.

Can I amend my Self Assessment return after filing?

Yes. You can amend an online return within 12 months of the filing deadline (31 January two years after the tax year end). After that, you must write to HMRC requesting a correction. We advise clients to review returns carefully before submission but can handle amendments if an error is found later.

Do I have to use software to file VAT returns?

Yes. All VAT-registered businesses must keep digital records and file through MTD-compatible software, with digital links maintained from record to return. Copying figures from a spreadsheet into the HMRC portal is no longer permitted. We review your bookkeeping for digital linking and file on your behalf.

What happens if I file my Self Assessment return late?

An automatic £100 penalty applies immediately. After 3 months, £10 daily penalties begin (up to £900). After 6 months, an additional 5% of tax due (or £300 minimum). After 12 months, a further 5% penalty. Interest accrues on unpaid tax. We help file late returns and, where possible, submit a reasonable excuse appeal to mitigate penalties.

What does ACCA qualified mean for a tax specialist?

ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) requires passing 13 rigorous examinations covering taxation, financial reporting, and business, plus 3 years of practical experience. ACCA members are bound by a strict code of ethics and ongoing CPD requirements. Choosing an ACCA qualified specialist means formal demonstrated competence.

I had been gifting assets to family members over a few years and wanted to make sure everything was above board from a CGT perspective. Got clear advice on what needed reporting and what did not. Very thorough and gave me real peace of mind.

Philip N
Customer - Capital Gains Tax in Kent
I run a small online business alongside my day job and my tax return had got quite complicated. Everything was sorted quickly and they explained what they had done and why. I had no idea I could claim some of the things I was claiming. Really glad I found them.

Michael H
Customer - Self Assessment Tax Returns in Kent
I was told HMRC wanted to look into my expenses claims and honestly did not know what to do. Everything was handled professionally from start to finish. They dealt with HMRC directly, kept me in the loop and closed it without any penalties.
