What is involved

We start by understanding your position and what you want to achieve. We then set out the options, the tax cost of each and our recommendation in writing. Fees are agreed before any work starts, and where action is needed we can deal with HMRC on your behalf.

01

Situations we help with

Common situations we advise on.

You run your own company and want to take money out tax-efficiently

The mix of salary, dividends, pension contributions and director's loans changes the overall tax bill for you and your company. The best mix shifts as rates and allowances change.

We work out the most tax-efficient mix for the year ahead and review it each year.

You are thinking of selling your business

Business Asset Disposal Relief can reduce the capital gains tax on a sale, but the conditions must be met for two years before the sale, and the rate has been rising. How the price is paid, for example through an earn-out or loan notes, also affects how much tax is due and when.

We look at the structure and timing well before a deal is agreed, while there is still room to make changes.

Your income has gone over £100,000

Between £100,000 and £125,140, your personal allowance is gradually withdrawn, so part of your income is taxed at an effective rate of 60%. Going over £100,000 can also mean losing Tax-Free Childcare. Pension contributions and Gift Aid donations can bring your income back below the threshold.

We work out how much to contribute, and when, to get the best result.

What our clients say

“I first came to RMHO Consulting for help with our UK tax returns, which were far from straightforward - a property sale outside the UK, employee shares and income from several different sources. Over the last few years, Rob and his team have become our trusted advisers for both my wife's and my tax affairs. As well as our returns, they have helped us plan share sales, think through inheritance tax and longer-term family tax planning, structure new board and advisory roles, and set up a new company. Rob is a brilliant specialist who explains complex points clearly, responds quickly and always keeps the advice practical. As a CFO, I know how valuable it is to have an adviser you can rely on completely, and I would recommend RMHO Consulting without hesitation.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

When should I start tax planning?
The earlier the better. Proactive planning throughout the year gives you time to take advantage of reliefs and allowances before the tax year ends, rather than reacting after deadlines have passed.
Can you help with both personal and corporate tax?
Yes. We advise individuals and companies on personal tax, corporation tax, capital gains and inheritance tax, and on how these different areas interact with one another.
Do you work with clients outside the UK?
We do. We regularly advise on cross-border and international tax matters, including the position of UK residents with overseas interests and non-UK residents with UK connections.
How are your fees structured?
We agree fees in advance based on the work involved. For ongoing tax planning we can offer fixed monthly fees, and for one-off matters we provide a clear quote before starting any work.
What records should I keep?
Good records make tax planning far easier. Keep invoices, receipts, bank statements and any correspondence with HMRC. We can advise on what is needed for your particular circumstances and how long to keep it.
Can you deal with HMRC on my behalf?
Yes. With your authorisation we can correspond with HMRC, handle enquiries and make sure filings and payments reach the right place at the right time.
What happens if I miss a tax deadline?
Missing a filing deadline usually means an automatic penalty, even if no tax is due, and interest is charged on any tax paid late. If you have missed one, contact us straight away — there is often a way to limit the damage.
