Who We Help
Limited Company Accountants
There are many benefits in setting up as a limited company, not least the tax efficiencies. That said, preparing and completing a Corporation Tax Return can be stressful and time-consuming when you are caught up with the day-to-day running of your business. We can help take the strain by preparing your accounts with meticulous care and submitting them to both HMRC and Companies House on your behalf.
Accountants for Self-employed & Sole Traders
Partnership Accountants
Accountants for Contractors
Accountants for Landlords
At VW Taxation, we understand the particular challenges that landlords face when managing their finances. We help landlords throughout Cosham, to understand their tax position, streamline their accounting system, file Self-Assessment tax returns and prepare annual accounts.
We’re also focused on helping landlords to maximise their rental income, by identifying allowable expenses and finding other valuable tax deductions. When you entrust your landlord accounting to us, you can enjoy complete peace of mind as you continue to serve your tenants and grow your property portfolio.
Our Accounting and Tax Services for Businesses in Cosham
General Bookkeeping
Good bookkeeping is essential to provide financial clarity and inform your business decisions. A set of accurate accounts also helps to ensure tax compliance and will ease the burden of your end-of-year tax return. We can provide training to bring your bookkeeping up to scratch, or alternatively, we’re happy to take it on for you, allowing you to concentrate on running and growing your business.
CIS Specialists
While there are many benefits of registering under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), it is a complicated process, to say the least. Completing your tax return and working out what refunds you are entitled to can be a bit of an ordeal. VW Taxation specialises in CIS with years of experience under our belts. We can take the burden of tax off your shoulders, allowing you to focus on what you do best without the worry of ending up out of pocket.
CIS Tax Return Services
Frequently, CIS deductions do not get properly logged and filed, costing construction workers higher returns on a tax refund in the process. We will ensure your records are watertight and will take on the complex process of your tax return, saving you valuable time. See our CIS Tax Return Services page for details.
CIS Tax Refunds
For those registered under CIS, overpayment of tax during the year is almost always inevitable. We can help you get back exactly what you are owed by working out the eligible expenses you have accumulated throughout the tax year. See our CIS Refunds page for details.
CIS Limited Companies
If CIS is simply not working for you, then becoming a CIS limited company can be a much more efficient and lucrative option. We can help you make the transition, in order to maximise your well-earned income. See our CIS Limited Company page for details.
Companies House Accounting Services
Running a business is already a monumental undertaking, and the extra strain of filing a Corporation Tax Return can be daunting. VW Taxation can help to relieve some of the work, making sure your statutory accounts are meticulous, accurate and submitted on time to both Companies House and HMRC. That way, you can focus on your business, safe in the knowledge that your tax is being expertly handled and that you won’t incur any unwelcome penalties.
Personal Tax Returns (Self-Assessment)
We have the utmost respect for the UK tax system, but it is undeniably complicated. As a sole trader, partner, company director or property owner, you are responsible for declaring your taxable earnings (and losses) to HMRC, and there are serious penalties for avoidance, late submission and miscalculations. As your specialist tax accountant, our team can help you to correctly calculate your liability and ensure that your tax return is completed and filed in good time. We will also ensure that you make the correct deductions and apply reliefs that you might be eligible for, to reduce the amount of tax you pay.
Emergency Tax Help
A “job for life” is an increasingly rare thing and workers change careers much more frequently than in the past. Unfortunately, HMRC cannot always keep up with your work status which can lead to a change of tax code, known as emergency tax. Since this can mean the loss of potential savings and deductions on your tax return, it is beneficial to seek out the guidance of professional emergency tax accountants such as VW Taxation.
VAT Accountancy Services
If you operate a business that provides taxable goods to consumers, you will have to pay a VAT tax rate on all goods over a threshold of £85,000. As your tax accountants, we will make sure that you choose the right VAT scheme for your business, take care of VAT registration procedures and ensure you pay the correct amount to HMRC. What’s more, can offer advice on claiming back VAT on our accountancy services. See our VAT accountancy page for more details.
Tax Rebates
For certain professions, such as healthcare, mechanics and teaching, tax reliefs exist on certain expenses meaning that you may be entitled to a tax refund. The details can be hard to grapple with and many go out of pocket as they’re unaware of what is owed to them, or they’re simply too busy to go through the hassle of a tax rebate. We can provide valuable advice on what reliefs are available to you in your profession and take care of applying for a well-earned tax rebate on your behalf.

Say Hi to Gary Ellis, Director VW Taxation
"I am very passionate about working in private practice and am strongly motivated in working with small to medium-sized businesses. My priority is to help them be more financially viable and efficient, which in turn will help aid growth.
I have been working as an accountant since 1991, when I left school and took my first role as a trainee accountant. I worked in private practice for 4 years and then moved to work in industry to gain wider and more varied experience in all aspects of tax and accounting. In 2011, I was offered the opportunity to return to private practice at VW Taxation and became a Director in 2014.
Outside of work, when not spending time with family and friends, I enjoy travelling, reading and watching live music."
