Employer Solutions

Employees are the most important part of any business – without employees the business cannot function. Many employers look for innovative ways to ensure that the employee’s are rewarded tax efficiently and remain highly motivated. There are numerous ways including cash incentives, varying types of benefits in kind and share incentive arrangements. All these can be attractive to employees but it is important that employers get the balance right.

As well as ensuring that employees are rewarded for their services, employers must also ensure that they are compliant with the UK tax regulations. This is no small task with the government and HM Revenue & Customs constantly changing the rules, introducing new requirements and strengthening the penalty regime for compliance failure. Large businesses already have the requirement to certify that their processes and procedures produce the correct tax calculations under the Senior Accounting Officer regulations and many smaller businesses are following these to ensure that they are also compliant should HMRC come calling! In today’s climate we believe that businesses should lead the way in being compliant and not fear a visit from HMRC.

Good advice about the closure of a ltd company, options have been explained in an understandable manner.

Management Consultant, Oil & Gas

I needed some specialist tax advice in respect of a complicated capital reduction demerger, a partial buyout of my company. Without specialist advice the tax hit was going to be huge.

TAP Advisory were recommended to me by my accountant, and my solicitor was also very complimentary about TAP when they found out we would be working with them. Tap's reputation preceded them.

The fees TAP charged were reasonable in my eyes, and small in comparison to the money they saved me, I was VERY grateful for the advice and guidance.

TAP were great to deal with throughout, they kept me in the loop in laymans terms and liaised well with the other professionals looking after my interests.

I could not recommend them enough in respect of their extensive knowledge and experience.

Paul

Managing Director of Audiology Business

In our company we see our TAP contact very much as one of our team. For example we see him as more of a part time employee than a service provider. To this extent he has always acted into his manner available whenever we need him and on demand. I have never thought of TAP as having other clients (even though I know they have), because the client servicing is amazing.

Our company has engaged with Tax Advisory Partnership on R&D activities. Their service has been solution oriented, proactive, and good value for money. We have developed a good relationship with Tax Advisory Partnership and find their R&D consultants to be good listeners. I would highly recommend Tax Advisory Partnership for their knowledge of the regulations and the ongoing support they offer.
