Personal Tax

We're here to make your financial life easy

Personal Tax Overview

Benjamin Franklin’s often-quoted remark that “nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes” holds as true today as it ever has; but the quality and length of your life, and how much tax you’ll pay, are much more open to debate.

Every client will need to account for taxes in one form or another, from a relatively straightforward self-assessment tax return to a much more complex structure of business and individual taxes.

For many people, preparing and filing a self-assessment tax return can be a stressful and onerous task. Even if your return is relatively simple, recognising and collating the accurate information that HMRC needs while understanding the various allowances and tax reliefs can be a time-consuming process. A straightforward return can also easily become more complex, as income from investments, an element of self-employment, and any income from rented property is added to the mix.

Our specialist personal tax team has years of experience and expertise in dealing with self-assessment tax returns for a wide range of clients. We can complete your self-assessment tax return on your behalf, calculate your tax bill, and deal with HMRC. We will make sure that all information is presented properly to mitigate your liabilities.

The self-assessment tax return services we offer include:

  • Assisting with the collation and preparation of your necessary financial information
  • Assisting with the preparation of your self-assessment tax return
  • Accurately calculating your tax bills
  • Advising you of all tax payments due
  • Ensuring you meet the deadlines to avoid penalties and interest
  • Dealing with HMRC on your behalf
  • Dealing with any enquiries from HMRC following tax returns
  • Handling other matters such as checking PAYE code numbers and statements of account.

We can also work closely with you to understand your personal financial aims and objectives. We can then help you to utilise all the available tax planning opportunities, reliefs and allowances that will help you to achieve those financial ambitions.

To chat to us about your plans, get in touch with us or make an appointment with one of our tax experts at one of our offices in Exeter, Wells, Chippenham and Yeovil.




As a family business you tend to find yourself wearing a lot of hats, so it’s essential to have an adviser like Phil Mills who knows our industry and is a good sounding board. The move onto Xero was a massive transition for us as there’s a lot of paperwork generated because of the cheese sales and we needed to set up all the cost centres and systems. We can now pull the right information on a monthly basis to provide us with much better insights to be able to run the business.

M. Sylvester
"Our family is in the situation where our mother is no longer able to look after herself. After trawling the internet for advice, whilst there is a wealth of information out there, some helpful, some confusing but nothing concise…. we as a family could not make a valid decision to formulate future care. Fortunately, I came across the SOLLA website and made contact with Chris Tweedie. Chris provided me with a comprehensive information document covering all aspects of care for the elderly, this combined with a Zoom meeting encapsulated all aspects of care for the elderly and options to move forward. His subject matter knowledge and frank advice has been invaluable."
