The days of deciding on a tax strategy at the start of the year and then forgetting about it are gone. As taxpayers and tax advisers, we both have to be nimble, flexible and aware of changes. That’s why regular tax-planning sessions are so important. 

• Is your business meeting the right tax compliance goals? 
• Are there tax changes to be aware of? 
• And is your tax planning delivering the very best results for you and for your company? 

The need for regular tax-planning conversations 

As your accountant and tax adviser, we want to help you get the best outcomes from your tax planning. In the current environment, that’s difficult to achieve if we only speak to you about tax on an annual basis. 

The frequency of these tax planning chats will depend on the size of your business, and the complexity of your structure and shareholder set-up. But we should be talking to you at least once every quarter about the tweaks and changes that are needed in your plan. 

In these tax planning sessions, we can: 

• Update you on the latest tax measures – We’ll tell which personal and business taxes you need to be aware of. 
• Tell you how these measures affect you – We’ll run you through the implications of any changes or available business reliefs. We can show you the impact on your tax returns for the coming periods, and what this means for your tax costs and your cashflow at large. 
• Listen to your evolving plans for the business – We’ll also ask you about your future business plans and what you want to achieve in the coming quarter. When we know what your aims are, we’ll do our best to help you come up with a business strategy that’s closely aligned with your tax-planning strategy. 
• Suggest planning measures to benefit you and your business – When we know your business goals, we can help you plan your tax more effectively. For example, plans to invest in research and development (R&D). 
• Update your tax plan for the year – With the outputs from a productive tax-planning session, we’ll come up with a refreshed and updated tax plan for the coming period (and beyond). It’s the best way to stay on top while delivering the best in tax compliance and tax efficiency.
