Thinking about a company car? We can calculate the tax cost and so help you decide which make or model to select, or whether to take the cash option instead. If your benefits in kind and/or reimbursed expenses appear on an annual P11D return you could end up paying too much tax. We can help you avoid any shocks in your personal tax coding and can also prepare a counter-claim for you so that you are not taxed on legitimate business expenses.

With our expert pro-active planning we can help you optimise your income by taking all available credits into account.
