Our Services
Tax Compliance
The tax compliance burden for even the smallest practice is a heavy one.
​
When you consider practice that has incorporated has to submit a corporation tax return, self-assessment returns for each director and shareholder receiving dividends, year-end PAYE returns, P11D's for all directors and employees earning more than £8,500, P9Ds for employees earning less than £8,500. The list is long and there are deadlines for each!
​
Let accountants4dentists take the stress out of tax compliance.
​
Our tax compliance service is second to none and we can guide you through the minefield of the various tax returns, assisting you with the preparation of returns and letting you know well in advance of due dates for submission of returns and payments of tax.
​
As part of our tax compliance service, and unlike many other firms of accountants, we spend a little extra time looking at your returns to see whether there are any beneficial claims that can be made to reduce or postpone your tax bill. We also work with Capital Allowances specialists to see that you get the full benefit of all allowances you are entitled too.
​

Book keeping and Accounts Preparation
The experience of running an owner managed business can only really be understood by people who have themselves run their own business. That's why at accountants4dentists we understand the importance of your time and the importance of accurate and up to date financial information.
​
So why spend hours, days and weeks trying to prepare accounts when you should be running your business?
​
accountants4dentists can work with you to provide accurate management accounts on a weekly, monthly, quarterly or annual basis. How many dental practices do you know that can boast their own finance function?
​
We can also work with you to ensure that statutory accounts are prepared and submitted to Companies House on time and in line with the Companies Acts, avoiding costly penalties.
Payroll Services
Whether you have one employee or a hundred, each employee will still need a wage slip, HMRC will still want their PAYE and National Insurance each month, the rules for statutory maternity pay remain the same, you still need to complete year end PAYE returns, provide P60s and P11Ds. Do you really want to spend time dealing with which forms go where and who gets what?
​
Operating a payroll function can be a time consuming matter and mistakes can be costly. So why not leave it to the experts?
​
accountants4dentists can operate the payroll function for your practice, taking the hassle out of admin and leaving you to concentrate on running your practice. We can assist you with the provision of wage slips, advice on PAYE/National Insurance, year-end returns and dealing with the paperwork associated with joiners, leavers, fathers, mothers, students, directors and overseas trainees!
Business Finance and Business Planning
One of the biggest constraints on all practices is cash! Unfortunately, funding is not easy to come by, and whether you are a start up practice looking for set up costs and working capital; or if you are looking to build your practice by expanding your service offering; building your practice through acquisitions and take overs; if you are an associate, working for a practice where the principals are looking to exit - the list is endless and the key factor behind your success comes down to funding.
​
accountants4dentists can work with you to prepare your business proposition - in the form of a business plan and cash flow projections. We would then canvass our extensive database of venture capitalists, business angels, factoring companies, banks and financial institutions to secure the funds needed by you to bring success to your purchase.
Company Audits and Regulatory Reporting
With the recent increase in audit thresholds, there are over 300,000 companies in the UK that now no longer require a statutory audit. When was the last time you checked whether you were exempt from the statutory audit?
​
Or indeed, when was the last time you checked whether you were required to have a statutory audit?
​
The fact is that your bank, your supervisory body, your suppliers, your customers, investors and failing the above, the Companies Act may require you to have your accounts subject to an independent audit.
​
So why not adopt a firm that can make your audit a seamless bare necessity that is cost effective and undertaken with minimum disruption to your business? By adopting the latest auditing techniques, accountants4dentists can provide the users of your accounts with a meaningful audit report from a firm with a reputation.
​
And you never know, by letting accountants4dentists into the heart of your business, you may even receive recommendations that add more to your profit than the cost of a lifetime of audits!

Tax Planning
There are too many taxes in this world! INCOME TAX, CORPORATION TAX, CAPITAL GAINS TAX, INHERITANCE TAX, STAMP DUTY, VALUE ADDED TAX, NATIONAL INSURANCE, WITHHOLDING TAX and s419 ICTA to name but a few..
​
The rules attached to most of the above taxes change at least twice a year so you need to be pretty switched on to keep up!
​
In fact, if you were to earn £1 in gross income without any tax planning your loved ones could end up with only 16 pence out of the original £1- the rest being paid away in taxes!
​
All businesses and individuals need to control their overheads and accountants4dentists are firm believers that the tax cost should be controlled in the same way as other overheads such as electricity and wages.
​
Almost all commercial decisions have a tax impact and whilst tax should not be the main driver behind any commercial decision, the tax effect should always be taken into account.
​
With effective tax planning, it is possible to positively increase the benefit of commercial decisions, negotiations and the structuring of transactions. accountants4dentists urge all of their clients to liaise before and during the decision making/structuring process so that the most effective tax result can be achieved.
​
If you want to manage your tax costs, speak to us about tax planning.
Tax Investigations
Sooner or later, your tax return will come under scrutiny by HMRC. Sleep with this knowledge and conduct your affairs accordingly!
​
The UK self-assessment tax system relies on individuals and businesses to make accurate and timely returns of income, and therefore tax. What this means is that HMRC have committed resources to conduct random as well as selective enquiries into tax returns.
​
accountants4dentists understand the strategies, tactics and technical avenues utilized by HMRC in conducting their enquiries and we can offer valuable advice on managing the outcomes of these enquiries.
So, if you are under the magnifying glass, why not contact us to see if the light at the end of your tunnel is sunshine or another man's torch.
​
If you want to come clean with historical tax problems then please contact us, on an anonymous basis if necessary, for an initial appraisal of your situation.
​
If you cannot sleep, speak to us about Tax Investigations.
