Without consideration on an ongoing basis, taxes can become a significant drain on the business’s cash flow. This is why you need a tax return. A tax return is a document filed with a tax authority that reports income, expenses and other relevant tax information. Tax returns allow taxpayers to calculate their tax liability, schedule tax payments, or request refunds for the overpayment of taxes. Our team of accountants in Coventry will fill out your tax returns so that all your financial information is in order.
Every business needs reliable financial information for both decision making and accountability. No one will keep investing in your venture if you cannot show that you know what is likely to happen to it (financial projections). You have a legal obligation in business to keep accounting records from the outset and not just wait until your business runs into some serious problems. We will help you find the desired form for your organization. Our team of professional accountants in Coventry will also discuss how the money will flow in from your clients and how it will flow out of your business to you. We also offer tax advice suitable to your needs.
As the name suggests one’s liability is limited to the amount you contribute by way of share capital. To set up a limited company all you need is; the name of the firm, a registered office address and at least two shareholders, one of whom can be the director. The limited company has a legal identity of its own. Even if the firm was to go into debt individuals aren’t liable for the businesses’ debts. Call us and we will offer support in setting up any structure that you need.
