At Thomas Nock Martin, we support UK small businesses with reliable, tailored tax and accountancy services designed to fuel growth, boost compliance, and give owners peace of mind.
Tax isn’t just a regulatory burden — it’s a growth lever. When handled correctly, it can free up working capital, improve forecasting, and sharpen decision-making. Here are 12 tax-aligned services we offer to help your business thrive.
1. Corporation Tax Planning
Minimise your business’s tax liability with smart, strategic planning. We assess your structure, allowances, and deductions to ensure you only pay what’s necessary — and nothing more.
2. Self-Assessment Support
For directors, landlords, or sole traders, filing a self-assessment can be stressful. We handle everything from income declarations to claimable expenses and deadline management — so you stay compliant and stress-free.
3. VAT Services
We help with:
- VAT registration and scheme selection
- Quarterly VAT returns
- Digital submissions (MTD compliant)
- HMRC liaison on queries or disputes
Our support ensures you don’t miss deadlines — or reclaim opportunities.
4. Tax-Efficient Business Structuring
Choosing the right business structure impacts your tax exposure. Whether you’re a sole trader, partnership, or limited company, we’ll advise you on what setup offers the best balance of flexibility, compliance, and savings.
5. Year-End Accounts Preparation
Our accountants ensure your year-end accounts are accurate, fully reconciled, and submitted on time. Clear records protect your reputation and lay the groundwork for growth funding and HMRC confidence.
6. Tax Investigations & HMRC Enquiries
HMRC audits and investigations are daunting. Our team represents you throughout, managing communication and documentation while ensuring your rights and obligations are clear and protected.
7. Capital Allowances Guidance
We help identify qualifying capital expenditure that reduces taxable profits — including equipment, vehicles, and improvements to business premises. This often leads to substantial tax savings if claimed correctly.
8. Payroll & PAYE Compliance
We process payroll, ensure correct PAYE deductions, and submit Real Time Information (RTI) to HMRC. Accurate payroll = compliant records, happy staff, and no unexpected fines.
9. Tax Advisory for Business Owners
Whether you’re looking to exit, invest, or restructure, we provide tax clarity at every stage. Our advisory service is designed for long-term planning, not just short-term fixes.
10. Making Tax Digital (MTD) Readiness
We help small businesses prepare for and comply with MTD rules using HMRC-recognised software. Our MTD support ensures your digital submissions are correct, timely, and easy to manage.
11. Partnership & Sole Trader Accounts
We prepare full accounts and tax returns for non-limited businesses, with clear insight into profitability and compliance. Our support helps you focus on running the business — not chasing paperwork.
12. Tax Advice on Dividends & Director Remuneration
Paying yourself tax-efficiently is critical. We offer tailored guidance on salary vs. dividends, director loans, and national insurance to ensure you take home more of what you earn.
