We will make sure everything is in the right format, in the right place and at the right time. As tax advisers, our objective is to work closely with you to ensure you pay the minimum tax required by law. We also have helped many individuals maximise the return they receive from the assets they own, reduce tax liabilities and evaluate future options.

The draft legislation for the next Finance Bill process has been released and includes a proposal to move basis period rules from a current year to a tax year basis. The transition would take place from 2022/23 and the changes would come into effect from 2023/24, which is when the proposed introduction of Making Tax Digital for income tax self assessment (MTD for ITSA) will also take place.

We consider whether any tax is due on the sale of the family home and the availability of principal private residence and other reliefs. Inheritance tax (IHT) is levied on a person's estate when they die and on certain gifts made during an individual's lifetime. We set out the principles. We consider the Pre-Owned Assets rules, along with the rules for determining the income tax charge levied on the previous owner of an asset.

We are a vibrant and growing London based Architectural Practice. Kevin and his team have been our accountants for many years. We are a very satisfied customer. The advice is clear and easy to understand, all tax and financial issues are looked after by a highly professional team.
We are proud to recommend AandS to our friends and clients and have heard nothing but glowing reports from them.

Kevin and the team were my accountants for over 6 years and I was always happy with the service I recieved, there were never any issues. I was impressed by how promptly Kevin responded to emails and setting up telephone calls to discuss annual accounts etc. was organised just as quickly. They were also more than happy to speak to other senior members of my team. Amherst & Shapland were instramental in helping us to achieve growth. I'd highly recommend.

I own 2 small businesses in Minehead and regrettably approached Amherst & Shapland to take over my accounts as locally based. I aim to give a fair review of their company, but I want to warn others about using their services. I expect my accountant to provide a professional level of service, good communication and take the stress and hassle out of accounts. However, their poor communication, unprofessional services and unapproachable attitude has caused me a lot of stress and exacerbated my patience and cost me a lot of time and money.
Throughout my time with them I have had little communication
