Tax advice to assist your business
Not all accountancy practices look at tax issues from the business owner’s point of view or consider how money can be efficiently extracted from that business to benefit you. Here at Alexander & Co, we do things differently.
Our tax advice team consists of varying personal tax advisors that will work with you to understand your objectives, provide comprehensive tax planning to suit these objectives and maximise profits available for distribution.
Our tax accountants can provide you with the practical advice you really need. Alongside our years of experience, our tax team has close ties with HM Revenue and Customs. Because of this, we are always on top of our game and up to date with the latest developments and legislation. When you choose Alexander & Co, you are in safe hands.

What’s the difference between tax advice and financial advice?
Tax advice is provided by qualified professionals such as chartered accountants and tax advisors like Alexander & Co. It focuses specifically on navigating the intricacies of the UK tax laws and regulations set forth by HMRC.
This specialised tax advice from chartered tax advisors, helps individuals and businesses optimise their tax positions, ensure compliance with ever-changing legislation, and identify potential reliefs or allowances.
Financial advice typically encompasses a broader range of topics, including investment strategies and retirement planning. This is typically provided by qualified financial advisors, who are different from accountants and tax professionals offering tax advice. Through our network, we can recommend an independent financial advisor to suit your personal circumstances.

At Alexander & Co, we pride ourselves on our personal approach. We build long-standing relationships with our clients, gaining an in-depth understanding of their business and how we can best assist.
We invest in our people to ensure they have the skills and experiences to best serve our clients, from understanding your tax liabilities to helping you maximise the tax reliefs available to you or your business.

Persons with significant control (PSC) are being targeted by HMRC. This is in instances where they have not filed a tax return or may have not declared all their income.

(July 2024) Changes to VAT registration to be made online only.
HMRC has confirmed to agents that starting 5 August 2024, any changes to clients’ VAT registration details can only be completed online. This is to be through the agent services account.
(July 2024) Automatic repayment of overpaid tax by cheque to be stopped.
Taxpayers who have overpaid income tax will need to formally request refunds from HMRC. Previously, when a taxpayer had overpaid income tax, a calculation would be sent form HMRC, which could be reclaimed online. Where it has not been reclaimed online within 21 days, a cheque would automatically be reissued. HMRC is no longer automatically sending cheques, and these repayments after 21 days now need to be formally requested.
(June 24) ROPS updated
HMRC has updated its list of those Pension Schemes which meet the conditions to be regarded as a Recognised Overseas Pension. Seven schemes have been removed, whilst 23 have been added. You can view these here.
