All common questions
Can't see yours? Send it with your booking request and your adviser will cover it on the call.
Ask an adviserDo I need to visit an office?
No. Everything happens online: you upload documents through a secure link, meet your adviser by video or phone, and sign engagement letters and returns electronically.
How much will it cost?
Every piece of work has a fixed fee. After your introductory call we send a written quote that sets out exactly what is included. You only commit once you have agreed it.
Can you deal with HMRC for me?
Yes. Once you authorise us as your tax agent, HMRC can speak to us directly about your affairs. We handle their letters, calls and enquiries so you don't have to.
Do you only do tax returns?
Returns are a big part of what we do, but most clients come to us for advice: taking money out of a company, selling a property, UK residence, or planning for Inheritance Tax.
I've missed a deadline. Can you still help?
Yes, and sooner is better. Late filing penalties grow over time and interest runs on late payments. We can file late returns, appeal penalties where you have a reasonable excuse, and arrange Time to Pay with HMRC.
Do you work with clients outside London?
We work with clients anywhere in the UK and with non-residents who have UK tax obligations. Because we work online, location makes no difference.
Is my information secure?
Documents are shared through an encrypted upload portal, never by plain email attachment. We only keep what we need and handle your data in line with UK GDPR.
Online consultations, UK-wide.
We advise clients across England, Scotland and Wales by secure video. Choose a location to see which tax rules apply there.
