Offering a full range of services to our private clients

We appreciate that most people don’t enjoy dealing with tax or HMRC, so our in-house tax specialists can do this for you.

Many people are required to complete a self-assessment tax return, either because they have several jobs or multiple pensions, receive property or investment income, because they are self-employed or act as a company director, or because they have sold a property or other asset during the year. As part of our standard Personal Tax service, we will prepare a detailed calculation of your tax position and explain the underlying cause of any tax due. We will also file your tax return and any supporting documents with HMRC, and deal with any resulting correspondence on your behalf.

At Brays, we are experienced in providing advice in relation to more complex issues, such as tax on capital gains, foreign income, trusts and estates. We are happy to meet with you at any point during the year to help you plan for the tax implications of your specific circumstances.

As a firm of Chartered Tax Advisers our practice is governed by the Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT). This gives you the confidence to know that our work is carried out to a consistently high standard, and that we adhere to a strict code of ethics. This also means our staff maintain their knowledge and expertise of tax issues and legislation through a programme of continuing professional development.

The complexity of Personal Tax work can vary greatly depending on individual circumstances. Please get in touch if you would like to arrange an initial meeting, without charge, to discuss your personal tax situation, following which we will be able to provide a quote.

In the event that you are selected for an HMRC enquiry or investigation, we can liaise directly with HMRC on your behalf, in order to resolve the situation as quickly and painlessly as possible. Brays also offer Tax Investigation Cover; assuming you have the cover in place before the start of any HMRC enquiry, our fees for this additional work will be paid by the insurer.
