Taxation

Our Tax Team consists of a group of experienced and highly qualified specialists with backgrounds in both Big 4 Firm tax departments and HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), covering the full range of taxes from corporation tax and income tax to capital gains tax, inheritance tax and VAT.

The two key components of the service are Compliance and Planning but often these dovetail, since we pride ourselves on looking for planning opportunities that arise out of our compliance work for clients and, conversely, successful planning is only achieved if attention is paid to the detailed compliance aspects that follow from a transaction.

Compliance

The UK tax system is complex and whether you are a corporate or a personal client you need to know in good time when your liabilities fall due, how much they are and be confident that you are not paying more to the taxman than he is entitled to expect.

Our compliance services include:

VAT

When VAT was first introduced into the UK in 1973, it was heralded as the "simple tax". Almost 40 years on and any suggestion of it being a "simple tax" is wide of the mark, and with the standard rate (20%) double what it was in 1973, this leaves definite scope for errors which can impact significantly on a business’s bottom line.

UNW is extremely well equipped for dealing with all UK VAT matters and is the only office in the North East with a dedicated VAT partner.

We can offer assistance with all UK VAT queries, ranging from ad hoc requests through to more focused advice on assisting with structuring of regular and one-off transactions so that they are dealt with in a VAT efficient manner.

In conjunction with our Accounting Services department, we can also provide advice and support on normal compliance issues when dealing with the preparation and submission of VAT returns.
