Butterfly Print and Design have been working with AIMS for a number of years now and supply Business cards, Letterheads, Leaflets and Compliment Slips to the AIMS Accountants across the country. It has been a pleasure to work with such a prestigious client.
Paul has enjoyed working with AIMs for many years having first met them back in 2005. Considering there are only two certainties in life, death and taxes, why is the UK tax system one of the most complicated in the world?
As a result, taxpayers can fall foul of the legislation and need guidance as to how to rectify matters. Knowing how H M Revenue & Customs works and what they are looking for is often key whether a client is being investigated by any one of the many departments within HMRC for non-compliance or looking to exit a tax avoidance scheme. Identifying all the relevant facts is itself a challenge. Having the right tactics from the outset will minimise a taxpayer’s exposure any potential penalties.
Any initial consultation is free and is face to face with you and your client and can typically last up to two hours.
