home - specialisms - Members of Parliament
We have put together a special package of services for our clients who are MPs.
We are one of the few tax accountants with extensive experience of dealing with MPs. We have dealt with seven MPs in recent years. Our first MP was Anne Campbell the member for Cambridge elected in 1992. When you run your private office - it is a small business - with staff to employ and records to keep. Our experience with other small businesses can help you with this new role.
We find that many of our MP clients find it reassuring that their administration staff know that the final expenses summary is reviewed by an outsider.
We have MPs who only want a simple service - and do not need sophisticated tax planning. This might cost £450+VAT
Others opt for a fuller range of service including tax plnanning or help with setting up accounting systems. These would be priced individually.
current issues
The new 50%tax rate is making many of our higher earning clients look more carefully at tax planning.
New MPs ellected in 2010 will now be facing their first tax return as MPs
specialist team
We support our niche expertise by loosely grouping clients in a similar sector to one or two account managers within our team. We then encourage those account managers to further develop their understanding of the sector to be better able to identify proactive issues to be addressed with the clients.
range of expertise
Although MPs have certain special tax matters to deal with - they can also have the full range of tax issues which face any individual. Our team can handle accounts for a consultancy business as well as specialist tax or legal issues.
Your account manager can quickly talk to a tax specialist whenever they need advice on a more complex problem.
inside knowledge
We have built up expertise beyond tax and accounting by working with clients over many years.
For some clients we have also been able to make valuable introductions to others working in a similar field allowing the possibility of collaborations.
