Our Services
Self Assessment
We take the stress out of Self-Assessment tax returns. We ensure accuracy and timely submissions, helping you maximise tax efficiency while staying fully compliant with HMRC. We assist you in accurately reporting all your income, including employment income, self-employment earnings, rental income, dividends, interest, and any other sources. We handle every detail meticulously, ensuring that nothing is overlooked and your tax return is complete and accurate. So whether you are self-employed, a landlord, a company director, or an individual with untaxed income, our proactive approach means we identify potential tax-saving opportunities and advise you accordingly.
Payroll and Pension Auto Enrolment
Managing payroll can be a complex and time-consuming task, but at Accounting Paradise, we streamline the entire process, ensuring your employees are paid accurately and on time. We handle all aspects of payroll administration, from setting up new employees and generating payslips to HMRC submissions and compliance with the latest legislation.
Navigating pension auto-enrolment can also be challenging, but we make it straightforward and hassle-free. We handle the entire process, from assessing employee eligibility and enrolling them in the pension scheme to managing contributions and making payments to the pension provider. By entrusting your auto-enrolment responsibilities to us, you can be confident that your pension obligations are managed efficiently and in full compliance with the law.
Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)
CIS is a special way of taxing workers in the construction industry. The CIS rules mean that the contractor is usually obliged to deduct tax from a subcontractor's payments to pay HMRC, at either 20% if they are registered under the CIS scheme or 30% if not registered. We assist both contractors and subcontractors with the CIS registration process and ensure timely and accurate submissions to HMRC, all while maintaining full compliance with HMRC requirements.
For contractors, we prepare and submit monthly CIS returns to HMRC by managing the calculation and deduction of tax from subcontractors’ payments, applying the appropriate rates based on their verification status. This reduces the risk of errors and potential penalties.
For subcontractors who have had CIS deductions made from their payments, we can assist in reclaiming overpaid tax. We handle the submission of claims to HMRC, ensuring you receive any refunds you are entitled to promptly and efficiently
