Taxation

Benjamin Franklin said, “Nothing is certain but death and taxes”.

Some might comment - but at least death doesn’t get worse every year.

It is true that each year the raft of new legislation complicates beyond belief a taxation system that was supposedly undergoing simplification. Have you ever asked yourself the question “why is simplification such a long word”.

At Hobsons we appreciate how difficult is for you to keep up with the ever changing taxation environment. We actively seek to take this responsibility on board thereby alleviating you of the worry that you may not be complying or that you may be missing out on some opportunity.

In order to achieve this we have fully trained staff in all areas of taxation. You can rely on us to deal with the more mundane and compliant issues but we will also look to go that extra yard.

We actively promote building relationships between our tax team and our clients. This understanding brings about additional benefits. Through these relationships we build a mutual trust and an understanding of your needs, which in turn allows us to advise on relevant topics.

The better we know you the more effective the advice we are able to give. We therefore recommend a regular dialogue, and if required regular meetings, at which you will learn of any new developments and where we can learn more of your needs.

Regular contact also facilitates pre transaction planning. Often to obtain the best tax advantage you need to act and restructure prior to the event. This is not to say that we do not have at our disposal methods of mitigating liabilities after the event! We often do but invariably planning is best.

In summary, the whole ethos of the practice and the tax team is centred on having our clients’ interests and priorities at the top of our agenda.
