It’s reassuring for you and your client to know that their tax affairs are in good hands.
There are numerous reasons why your client may be required to complete a tax return. It very much depends on their personal circumstances and sources of income.
The penalties for your client failing to notify HM Revenue & Customs that they need to complete a tax return and the late payment penalties and interest for unpaid tax can quickly mount up.
Whether your client simply wants reassurance that their tax affairs are in order, or they need to disclose their income, past and present to HMRC and want to appoint an experienced tax professional to act on their behalf, The Tax Angel can assist.
Your client may be required to complete a tax return if they are in receipt of any of the following:
Personal tax has become increasingly complex. There are now separate income tax regimes which apply depending on whether your client lives in England/Northern Ireland, Scotland, or Wales.

With the significant reduction in the capital gains tax (CGT) exemption in recent years, currently £3,000 for individuals and personal representatives, it is more important than ever that you are aware when a transaction is potentially liable to CGT, so that your client can take the relevant advice. This will enable any CGT to be quantified at an early stage, enabling your client to plan, so that there are no unexpected surprises.

There may be ways of structuring gifts to avoid an immediate tax charge. This is where The Tax Angel can help to discuss your clients’ options. Planning ahead and seeking advice in advance of a transaction being carried out can significantly reduce immediate tax charges. This is especially important when gifting an asset as you do not have any sale proceeds out of which to settle the tax due.
Most professionals advising clients on financial matters are acutely aware of inheritance tax (IHT). It is considered to be one of the unfairest taxes of them all. After all you spend a lifetime accumulating wealth, on which you have paid tax, only to be taxed on it all over again on your death. A double taxation.
It was once considered a tax for the wealthy, but this is no longer true. With the nil rate band having been frozen at £325,000 since 2009/10 and it set to remain at that level until at least 5 April 2028, more and more ordinary people are finding themselves liable to IHT, especially with the increase in property prices in recent years.
Often referred to as a voluntary tax, with careful planning IHT can be significantly reduced or even eliminated altogether.
The Tax Angel can help with:
I can complete all types of IHT returns on behalf of your clients and ensure that any appropriate reliefs are claimed to minimise any tax due. If you need assistance completing forms IHT400, so that the IHT can be quantified and paid on time enabling the Grant of Probate to be applied for, The Tax Angel can help.
