KEEP UP-TO-DATE 
ACCOUNTS
Accurate, timely accounts give you insight into 
your business’s financial health and help you 
spot stress points early.

PROACTIVE TAX PLANNING, 
NOT JUST COMPLIANCE
It’s not enough to tick the boxes for HM Revenue 
& Customs – you should be leveraging tax reliefs, 
allowances and strategic structuring to minimise 
the tax burden.

UNDERSTAND THE LIMITED COMPANY 
STRUCTURE ADVANTAGES
For a limited company you can separate business and personal tax 
issues, retain profits, control dividends, and plan for growth.

USE MANAGEMENT Beyond statutory annual accounts, 
ACCOUNTS TO INFORM management accounts (e.g., 
TAX DECISIONS monthly) help you understand cash flow, profit margins and where tax-
efficiencies may lie.

IDENTIFY ALL 
AVAILABLE TAX RELIEFS 
AND ALLOWANCES
Smart companies look for R&D credits, capital allowances, cost of goods 
deductions, etc. while ensuring everything remains compliant.

USE FIXED-FEE OR TRANSPARENT ACCOUNTING 
SERVICES
Knowing your accounting/tax-planning costs up front helps you budget, and 
means you can avoid surprise overspend on tax advice.

Treat your accountant 
as a strategic advisor
The best tax planning isn’t done 
purely at tax-return time — 
your accountant should be part 
of your management team, 
helping shape decisions that 
affect tax.

KEEP CLEAN 
RECORDS AND 
DOCUMENTATION
To claim reliefs or demonstrate compliance, documentation must be solid. Good 
bookkeeping underpins tax-planning.
