Tax work divides into two halves: getting the filings right, and defending them when the department asks questions. We do both, which means the person arguing your case already knows the file.
Income tax
Returns and statements
- Corporate returns — preparation and filing for companies. Planning is most effective at the start of the tax year, when there is still room to defer or reduce a liability rather than simply report it.
- Individuals, AOPs, trusts, registered firms and not-for-profits — the same standard of preparation applied to non-corporate clients.
- Wealth statements — worth taking seriously. A wealth statement can be examined for up to six years after filing, and an omitted or misstated asset engages several provisions of the Ordinance. We prepare them properly and reconcile them against the return.
Refunds
If a refund has been outstanding for years, the usual questions are whether the application was actually filed and whether the amount appears in IRIS. We check the position, file what is missing, and pursue it through to payment.
