Value Added Tax (VAT)

Though usually underestimated, VAT is one of the most complex topics in accounting and compliance. Thousands of people in the United Kingdom are investigated every year for VAT fraud and non-compliance.

HMRC is making significant changes in declaring and submitting VAT returns with its introduction of ‘Making Tax Digital’. Our experts at Ependio have specialised HMRC compliant software to make sure your business is in sync with the new legislation.

Corporation Tax

Every business is supposed to declare their tax liability to HMRC and pay corporation tax if in profit. Failing to declare corporation tax can result in huge fines and even put the company’s directors in a bad spot.

Our tax team will:

• Accurately compute your tax liability
• Declare and pay your corporation tax in a timely manner
• Liaise on your behalf with HMRC on any tax-related issue
• Take responsibility of your fines if it was caused by inefficiencies from our end
• Manage your Corporation tax account

Stamp Duty

Your business may have to pay stamp duty on transactions that involves the transfer of land or interest in land; grants or assignments of leases; and transfers of chargeable securities like shares in companies.

Stamp duty can catch businesses out especially those who are just getting established.

At Ependio, our team of experts will manage your stamp duty so you don’t have to worry.

Capital Gains Tax

Capital gains is an area neglected by most businesses and accountants.

The government has applied an 18% capital gains tax on business disposals. If you meet certain criteria, you will qualify for the “entrepreneur relief scheme” which lets you enjoy the reduced rate of 10% on disposals of up to a lifetime allowance of £10 million.

We have experts dealing in Capital Gains Tax and we can help your business.

Capital Allowances

Capital allowances poses a challenge to many small and big businesses in the United Kingdom and this puts businesses at risk of not properly accounting for this.

This is a tax relief system on investment in business equipment. Businesses are not allowed to offset the entire cost of significant investment in capital equipment against the profit in the year of purchase.

Capital Allowances creates a way of offsetting those cost over a number of years which will normally be equal to the lifespan of the capital equipment.
