Services

At James & Co Accountants in Boston, Lincolnshire, we offer all accountancy solutions tailored to your needs.

We will prepare your annual accounts that will form the basis of your self assessment Income Tax Return from your books, bank statements and supporting records. This applies to sole traders, partnerships and limited companies – small or large.

The accounts will also be invaluable, not only to you, but also to your bank and other financial institutions, for example mortgage applications and proposed bank loans. We will endeavour to advise you on ways to strengthen your record keeping which, in turn, will assist you in meeting your statutory obligations and monitoring your financial affairs.

If you find book work etc. a hassle - and most people do - let us help and take away the concern and stress that this causes many businesses.

Tax Returns

We will give you guidance on areas in which we think you could save tax and will inform you regularly of your tax payable, if any, well in advance of the deadline date for payment.

We'll liase with the Inland Revenue on your behalf and ensure that you are left to run your business with the minimum of hassle.

We complete Income Tax Returns for non-businesses too, such as retired people, pensioners and anyone who is an employee who thinks their tax may be wrong for any number of reasons.

If you are not registered for VAT, but are approaching the point where you should be, we will complete the VAT registration form for you and advise you of any special schemes available to minimise your liability.

You should be registered for VAT if your sales or service are not exempt, and your turnover exceeds the statutory registration limit. You can register voluntarily if your business sales are totally or largely zero-rated. It is vital that you register at the correct time - we can help you determine if you should be registered or not.

We can also help you with Cash Accounting Scheme, Flat Rate Schemes, Annual Accounting and special schemes for retailers.
