Why A Senior Accountant Is Essential For Small Businesses?

A tax strategy is a legal document submitted to the Companies House every year with a certain amount of profit or turnover over a specified period, usually over a financial year. This requirement is outlined in Section 161 of the Finance Act 2021. A company can also create a "business plan" outlining a tax strategy. Both these documents are available from the Citizens Advice Bureau and can be downloaded from the Citizens Advice website.

The need for both these documents arises from changes to taxation law introduced by the Government in 2021. These changes were designed to simplify the collection and repayment of taxes. The basic principle underlying these changes was to reduce the number of people claiming high-value tax claims, thereby reducing the amount that the state and companies pay in excess tax. There are two main components to the new tax system. Firstly, there will be a move away from the Single Taxation Period, currently in place since 2021, to a more standard multi-rate system, which will replace the current tax system with a band of twelve (including one for corporation tax), four non-payment conditions and one exemption; and secondly, a simplification of how income tax is charged between these bands.
Developing a tax strategy that enables you to minimise your tax liability is not an easy task. You should have a good understanding of how you make your profits, and how you intend to spend them. You must ensure that you understand all the tax laws of your country of permanent residence and those of your proposed business as well as any taxation which may affect your activities in that country. You must assess not only what the current tax system is but also what implications any changes to taxation could have for your business activities.
The WealthAbility network can help you plan your tax strategy if you give them a good account of your business finances. However, they do not have the background or the experience required to help you identify the key tax risks. They will not be able to advise you on how to minimise your tax liabilities in a way that will not adversely affect your profits. They can, however, help you to prepare and implement a plan of action that should result in you paying the lowest amount of tax possible. In this way, you should be able to achieve a reasonable level of tax savings.
Senior accounting professionals can also help you understand and interpret the latest tax law and tax strategy. This could include any changes to asset and liability law, the savings rules, and even any changes to dividends and capital gains tax. This knowledge would allow you to determine which businesses are most suitable to move their assets and where to invest to maximise their profits. They can also provide you with advice on the most suitable use of investment property, and whether you could move assets to minimize your tax position.
Senior accountants are an essential resource for many small business owners. The services that they provide are invaluable to those business owners who are just starting out or who have become confused by tax laws. They can help you develop and implement a sound tax strategy. They can also assist you with tax law audits and proceedings.
