Taxation

The government would like you to believe that tax is simple.  Never before has completing a personal tax return been so complicated with different types of income taxed at different rates, various tax allowances, tax relief restrictions, benefits clawbacks etc.  It is now more important than ever that you get the proper advice when completing your tax return.

Everybody should recognise why we pay tax and the importance that your tax contribution as an individual or business makes, however large or small, can make on how our country is run.  It is rare to find anyone who says that they think they don’t pay enough tax.  But tax should not be viewed as a negative, paying tax by its very nature means that you earn income that warrants it to be taxed and the more successful that you are the more tax that you can expect to pay.

So whilst you shouldn’t be afraid to pay tax, that doesn’t mean that you should pay more tax than you have to.  Tax saving opportunities may be available that can be considered to plan your earnings in advance to determine the tax that you can expect to pay and find possible ways of minimising your future tax payments.  All by legitimate means.
