What our clients say…

September 21, 2010 by Tavara

We love to make our clients happy. It’s at the heart of everything we do. And without blowing our own trumpet too much, we like to think we’re rather good at it.

But don’t just take our word for it – have a read at what just some of our clients have to say:

Tavara Accountants provide us with the ultimate accountancy solution. This allows us the freedom to concentrate on the core activity of the business whilst ensuring the day to day financial pre-requisites are met. The financial package is tailored to meet our changing needs. Ad-hoc business advisory support is provided in order to support the future development of the business. We would not hesitate in recommending Tavara to any business wishing to outsource their accountancy support.

Caroline Cope, The Sanderum Centre www.sanderumcentre.co.uk
We had the opportunity for an acquisition but were put off by the sheer weight of financial/legal red tape associated with it. Darren assured us his team would take care of all these issues so that we could concentrate on the operational aspects of merging the new company into our existing business. Not only were Tavara were true to their word, they also managed to negotiate a substantial sum off the sale price. We are so pleased with the outcome, we are looking for further acquisitions in the future.

Duncan Hollis, Managing Director of the EMS Group www.aquacert.co.uk

Tavara are always there when we need them – no problem is too big or small for them to help and advise. They handle all our monthly and annual accounting requirements, and whenever a problem or issue arises, it’s always Tavara who receive the first ‘can you sort this please?’ email. And they do ‘sort it”. Very quickly!

Martin Bellamy, Orange Instruments Limited www.orangeinstruments.co.uk

Tavara Limited has been providing accountancy services to Kaygee Data & Electrical for over 5 years. They provide a very thorough and accurate service, but most of all we value the confidence their professionalism instills. We would warmly recommend the services of Tavara to other companies.

Time for a new accountant?

September 21, 2010 by Tavara Leave a Comment

Assuming that you have made up your mind to change accountants to Tavara, the following simple steps will have it sorted it no time:

Advise your present accountants in writing that they are no longer engaged and that you have appointed Tavara (Please also give them our name and address).

Give us the authority to write to the old accountants, we would then request the relevant information from them, such as last year’s tax returns and computations.  Professional firms usually provide this at no extra cost and promptly.

We will ask you to sign an authority allowing the Inland Revenue to deal with us as your tax agents.

And that’s it! No stress, no hassle, simple.

Free Tax Guide – 2010/2011

September 21, 2010 by Tavara Leave a Comment

So now we’ve heard it – Alistair Darling’s third budget speech. And behind it were unprecidented circumstance, a General Election looming and the country’s dire economic position. So what exactly did the Chancellor say and, more importantly, what did it actually mean?

Many of the figures are fundamental to our business and personal lives and the main ones are summarised in our free guide - Tavara Tax rates 2010. We are sure that you will find it a useful point of reference throughout the coming tax year and below we have listed just a few examples of how it can be used.

Rates for business

If you run a business, obtaining the right allowances on equipment that your business buys can affect the tax that your business has to pay each year. Our tax guide highlights the main allowances that are available, including rates available on business cars.

If you sell an asset such as land, capital gains and stamp duty land tax may be due. Our tax guide highlights the main rates so that you can consider the tax bill that may arise.

Rates for employees

An incorrect PAYE code will affect an employee’s net pay, so it is always worth checking that your PAYE code has the correct personal allowances reflected in it.

Benefits that employees’ receive from their job, like company cars and fuel, affect the tax that they pay – our tax guide explains how these are computed to help ensure that you are paying the correct amount of tax.

Travel is a daily part of business life. If you drive your own car on business, HMRC allow certain tax free mileage allowances to be paid. If you are paid less than these rates, you may be entitled to a tax refund. Our tax guide highlights the rates.

Rates that affect us all

Long term planning for a comfortable retirement can never start too early. Our tax guide explains how much can be contributed to an approved pension scheme each year tax efficiently.

And finally in the words of Adam Smith, there is no art which one government sooner learns from another than that of draining money from the pockets of people. Our tax guide contains the main inheritance tax rates and exemptions but early planning can mitigate these tremendously. For example, a bit of simple tax planning can often make a world of difference – getting the right Will in place could save your family £130,000!

Our tax guide is intended for use as a quick point of reference. Should you require any further information, have a simple question or require detailed advice we are only a phone call away.

Tax Return Deadline 2011

September 21, 2010 by Tavara

The 31st January deadline for online returns probably catches you out every single year, despite the relentless ‘tax doesn’t have to be taxing’ advertising campaign invading your living room for months on end. If you’re one of over 3 million people who leave their tax return until the very last minute, I’m sure you’re already trying to work out how you’ll be able to get your paperwork in order and complete the return, whilst supposedly taking it easy and enjoying the Christmas break with your loved ones.

 And, of course, if you struggle to understand everything and it ends up taking longer than expected (and let’s face it: it usually does!), you’ve got the additional worry of a £100 penalty for missing the deadline. Hardly a relaxing way to spend your holiday, is it?

 With our prices starting from just £95.00, why don’t you let us take over, and take a load off your mind? We love numbers, we find paperwork a breeze, and we’re masters at filling in tax returns to ensure you only ever pay exactly what you owe, and not a single penny more.

In just three simple steps, all your worries will be over: 

Step 1:
Ask us to act on your behalf and submit your online assessment for you

Step 2:

Give us the information we need to submit your assessment (we’ll tell you what we need and make it as painless as possible) 

Step 3: 

Go off and snore your way through the Queen’s speech while we take care of everything! 

Sounds simple, doesn’t it? Why don’t you give us a call today and let us make your day.
