Direct Tax Advisory

Corporate and personal direct tax managed as a continuous cycle rather than a year end scramble. We prepare the computation, make the filing, and defend the position taken.

Overview

Direct tax is where most businesses first encounter the gap between being compliant and being defensible. A return can be filed on time and still leave the company exposed, because the position behind a number was never articulated at the point it was taken. We treat the computation, the filing and the eventual defence as one continuous piece of work.

Work in this practice is delivered under the same operating standard that applies across the firm. The compliance calendar is mapped at the outset and driven by us, positions involving judgement are documented with the authority relied upon at the time they are taken, and nothing is filed or issued without an independent internal review by someone other than the preparer.

Where a matter touches another practice area, and most do, it is handled inside the same file rather than referred outward. That is the point of holding these disciplines together.

Common questions

How quickly can you take over an existing tax file?

Usually within one cycle. We begin with a position review covering past returns, open notices and outstanding obligations, so that we are working from documented facts rather than assumptions before we file anything in your name.

Do you handle assessments and appeals?

Yes. We represent clients through assessment, reassessment and the first appellate stage, and we prepare the file so that the reasoning behind each position is already on record rather than reconstructed under pressure.

International Taxation and Transfer Pricing

For groups whose value crosses a border, exposure is decided by structure long before it is decided by filing. We advise at the structuring stage and defend the position afterwards.

III

GST and Indirect Tax

GST rewards businesses that reconcile continuously and penalises those that reconcile annually. We run it as a monthly discipline with the audit trail built as we go.

IV

Corporate Secretarial and Compliance

Companies Act obligations are unforgiving and largely invisible until they are breached. We run them on a calendar so that nothing depends on someone remembering.
