Bookkeeping for Waltham Abbey: the basics
Good bookkeeping is the foundation everything else sits on: VAT returns, year-end accounts and tax planning all depend on it. For Waltham Abbey businesses we set up cloud software with live bank feeds and receipt capture, and either keep the books ourselves or review what you do each month.
Businesses in England follow UK-wide rules for Income Tax, National Insurance, VAT and Corporation Tax, with Stamp Duty Land Tax applying to property purchases. Local business rates are set and collected by the local authority.
Why Waltham Abbey businesses use IGI for bookkeeping
Tax planning through the year
We review your position before the year ends, when there is still time to act on pensions, timing of income, allowances and the salary and dividend mix.
Switching handled for you
We request clearance and records from your previous accountant and pick up where they left off. There is no charge for moving to IGI.
Online, so location is no barrier
Wherever you are in South East, your accounts, documents and messages are in one secure place you can reach from your phone or laptop.
