Burt Brill & Cardens offer a wide range of tax services. We aim to provide clear, easily understood advice on difficult areas of tax law.
Completing a Self Assessment Tax Return can be a worrying business, whether you are an individual, in business or retired.
We provide a straight-forward cost-effective service for the completion of personal income tax returns.
The service includes dealing with capital gains, foreign income, and preparation of simple business accounts if required.
We also specialise in dealing with tax returns for trusts and individuals with share portfolios.
If you own a house, have life cover, or pension entitlements your estate may well have to pay inheritance tax on your death.
We have wide experience in advising on how inheritance tax will affect clients' affairs.
We will help you plan so that you do not pay tax on your estate unnecessarily, and advise on how gifts made by you during your lifetime can save tax.
Many people are not aware of the role that Trusts can play in ensuring that your assets are preserved, as far as possible, for future generations. We can explain how trusts can help you, and prepare proposals for you to consider.
Insurance cover can help to reduce tax bills. Through independent financial advisors we can provide full investment and insurance advice.
The advice that we provide is completely independent. We will disclose to you any commission that is earned and we will agree with you how part of this commission can be used to partially offset our fees.
Under present tax law it is sometimes possible to vary the provisions of a Will so that less inheritance tax is paid.
We are able to offer comprehensive advice on "post-death" tax planning, and tell you the effect of inheritance tax, capital gains tax and income tax on the estate. Our aim is to offer effective, easily understood advice in what can be a difficult and confusing area of law.
As well as providing an income tax return service we can advise on the income tax and capital gains tax implications of trusts and personal portfolios. This advice can include tax planning, particularly for capital gains tax, and inheritance tax so that unnecessary tax is not paid. If you are involved with a trust where income is being retained until a beneficiary reaches a certain age (as it is often the case with trusts for grandchildren) we can give you advice and prepare the necessary tax returns.
The tax treatment of cash-enhanced scrip dividends can be complicated. We will be pleased to advise you, and prepare the necessary returns for the Inland Revenue.
Few clients would wish to emigrate just to save tax. But for some it can produce very large tax savings.
If you would like further advice on becoming non-resident for tax purposes then please ask us.
