We’ve had a great experience with A&C Chartered Accountants. The team are professional, friendly and always happy to help. Their bookkeeping service has made managing our business finances so much easier, keeping everything organised and up to date. Communication is excellent, and it’s reassuring knowing our accounts are in good hands. Would highly recommend to any small business looking for reliable accountants and bookkeeping support.

A&C are an excellent accountancy practice. The Joseph Cox Charity has utilised their services for many years and as a fully audited multi million pound charity it is very important that our finance partners are best in class.

I spoke to Steph and asked her for help understanding the CGT and IHT implications of a property transaction I was planning. The following day, she kindly provided me with the information I needed. It was clearly explained and covered all the points I'd raised. I found her to be very friendly and polite, and was impressed with the quality of service she provided.

We decided to go with AC Accountants for our start up business CarLer and so far we are very happy with the decision. Paul and Ann are fast at responding, have good attention to detail, and very good at explaining the whole process.

AI located A&C as a good choice for property accounting advice, especially as they offer an initial free consultation. After an first contact, a free consultation was quickly arranged and one of their staff, Steph Chiu was very helpful on the call and in a follow up email, although in the end she felt another company was better placed to offer us more specialist advice.

How can we help?

The tax system in the UK can be confusing, especially if you work for yourself, have multiple sources of income, or own different assets. For example, owning properties that generate rental income, investing in the stock market, or receiving dividends from a business – these situations all have potential tax implications.

It’s no wonder many find it overwhelming – there are so many different types of tax, each with its own thresholds, allowances, and reliefs. Yet, with tax laws changing regularly, falling foul of the rules could leave you staring down the face of an HMRC investigation.

We can help. From our offices in Manchester, we provide a range of services to help you stay compliant, including:

With us, every aspect of your financial position is managed with care and precision. You can expect professional advice and support that has your long-term interests in mind.

FAQs

Who do you help?

Our tax services are ideal for anyone with complex tax affairs, such as self-employed individuals, landlords, investors, and company directors. In fact, if you submit a self-assessment tax return each year, or think you might need to start doing so, then you are likely to be someone who will benefit from our services.

Can you help reduce my personal tax liabilities?

It will depend on your situation, but we will identify any, and all, opportunities to reduce your liabilities through strategic tax planning and through the use of valid reliefs and exemptions. This will be done in full compliance with UK law and HMRC regulations.

How do your fees work?

We operate on a transparent, fixed-fee basis. You’ll know the cost upfront, with no hidden charges, so you can budget confidently.

Can you help with HMRC tax investigations?

Our team supports both individuals and businesses through tax investigations. We can review your records and liaise with HMRC on your behalf. We know an investigation can cause stress and worry, so we’ll help you resolve any issues as quickly as possible.

What should I do if I’ve missed a tax deadline or made a mistake on my return?

If you’ve missed a tax deadline or made an error, you could be penalised by HMRC. Typically, the longer you leave it, the worse it can get. We’ll help you rectify the mistake by submitting amended returns or communicating with HMRC to minimise penalties and interest.

Can you assist with international tax matters?

Yes, we offer advice on cross-border tax issues, such as managing UK tax liabilities for non-residents, handling double taxation relief, and navigating the tax implications of overseas income and investments.
