    Tax advice in Guildford

    Tax is where good advice pays for itself. Getting the structure right, taking money out of a company in the most efficient way, and planning ahead rather than reacting at the deadline can make a real difference to what you keep.

    From our Guildford office we give clear, practical tax advice to company directors, the self-employed and landlords across the town and the surrounding area — not just number-crunching at year end, but planning through the year.

    Self Assessment done right

    We prepare and file Self Assessment returns for directors, sole traders and landlords, making sure every allowance and expense you are entitled to is claimed and nothing is missed. We tell you what you owe in good time, so there are no January surprises.

    Salary, dividends and profit extraction

    For limited company owners in Guildford, how you pay yourself matters. We work out the most efficient split of salary and dividends for your circumstances, keep an eye on the dividend and personal allowances, and plan around the thresholds so you are not paying more tax than you need to.

    Planning ahead, not reacting

    Whether you are thinking about incorporating, buying a vehicle or property, bringing on staff, or eventually selling up, a short conversation before you act usually beats a costly fix afterwards. We are here through the year for exactly those questions.

    Property and landlord tax

    Guildford's rental market keeps a lot of local landlords busy, and the tax around property has become genuinely complicated — mortgage interest restrictions, the choice between holding property personally or through a company, capital gains when you sell, and now Making Tax Digital reaching landlords too.

    We advise on all of it in plain English: what your rental profit really is after the rules are applied, whether incorporation would actually save you money or just add cost, and what to set aside so the tax bill never surprises you.

    If you are buying, selling or gifting a property, talk to us before exchange rather than after completion. The reliefs and elections available often depend on decisions that cannot be undone once the transaction has happened.
