Still guessing what your tax bill will be?
Many limited company directors in Hampshire only see their corporation tax figure when the accountant sends the finalised accounts, which by that point leaves very little room to do anything about it. Meanwhile, reliefs that could have reduced the bill go unclaimed, and the director pay structure carries on year after year without anyone checking whether it still makes sense. The tax gets paid. It just tends to be more than it needed to be.
- ✕ Corporation tax bill arriving as a surprise near the payment deadline
- ✕ Director salary and dividend split never reviewed against current thresholds
- ✕ Capital allowances and available reliefs left on the table at year-end
What planned tax looks like
Proactive tax planning means your liability is calculated well before it falls due, your remuneration structure is reviewed each year, and reliefs are identified before the year closes rather than after. The compliance still gets done; it just works harder.
- ✓ Tax liability calculated and visible months before the payment date
- ✓ Salary and dividend mix reviewed annually against current rates and thresholds
- ✓ Capital allowances, R&D credits, and timing opportunities identified before year-end
- ✓ Fixed-fee pricing so tax advice is not rationed by the clock

What the tax planning service covers
Scope covers corporation tax planning, director remuneration review, and year-end advisory — with compliance handled as part of the same engagement.
Corporation Tax Planning and CT600
Your tax liability is calculated during the year, not after it closes. That gives time to consider asset purchases, pension contributions, or other timing decisions before the year-end window shuts. The CT600 is then prepared and filed as part of the same fixed fee.
Included as standardDirector Remuneration Review
The optimal split between salary and dividends shifts as thresholds change, and a structure set up five years ago may no longer be the most efficient. Each year, your pay structure is reviewed against current rates so you are not leaving money on the table through inertia.
Reviewed annuallyReliefs, Allowances, and Advisory
Capital allowances, R&D tax credits, entrepreneurs’ relief considerations, and loss planning are identified before the year-end, not discovered afterwards. If an HMRC enquiry arises, support is included. Advice is given in plain English with a clear commercial rationale, not as a list of technical options.
Proactive, year-roundConsistently well-reviewed across the board
From sole traders to limited companies, clients across Hampshire and the South Coast describe the same experience: clear advice, prompt responses, and a service that removes the guesswork.

Why limited companies in Hampshire use us for tax planning
Twenty years of hands-on practice, cloud tools that give real-time visibility, and fixed-fee pricing that means tax advice is not something you have to budget separately for each time you want an answer.
Tax planning built into the year
Founded in 2005, Supreme Consulting has over twenty years of working with owner-managed limited companies on proactive tax strategy. Tax planning is not a bolt-on service requested at year-end — it is part of how the ongoing engagement works. Your liability is in view throughout the year, not revealed at the last minute.
Commercial advice, not compliance-only
Many accountants prepare the CT600 accurately and stop there. The more useful question is what could have been done differently before the year closed. Stuart Green works directly with clients to identify timing opportunities, relief claims, and remuneration adjustments that reduce the tax paid legitimately and repeatably.
Fixed fee, no billable-hour anxiety
Transparent, fixed-fee pricing means you can ask questions without watching the clock. If your tax position changes mid-year, you will hear about it because it is part of the service, not because you have commissioned a separate piece of work. Pricing is confirmed upfront, scoped clearly, with nothing added without your knowledge.
Up and running in four straightforward steps
The process is designed to require as little of your time as possible while ensuring everything is set up properly from the start.
A brief discovery call
A no-obligation conversation to understand your company, current tax position, and what you would like to achieve. You do not need to prepare anything. The call covers your existing structure, whether there are obvious planning opportunities, and what a sensible scope of work looks like.
A clear, fixed-fee proposal
You receive a written proposal outlining what is included, the fixed annual fee, and what happens next. No vague estimates, no open-ended hourly rates. If the scope changes, that conversation happens before the work does.
Onboarding and cloud setup
Existing records are migrated to Xero or QuickBooks Online, prior year figures are reviewed, and any catch-up work is scoped and priced separately if needed. The transition is handled without disrupting your trading.
Tax planned, compliance handled
From the first full year, your corporation tax liability is visible well in advance, remuneration is reviewed annually, and reliefs are identified before the year closes. The compliance — accounts, CT600, confirmation statement — is handled as a matter of course. You know where you stand, and the surprises largely stop.

Things people usually ask before getting started
Do you actually do tax planning, or just prepare the CT600 after the year has closed?
The CT600 is the compliance output. The planning happens during the year — reviewing your profit position, identifying timing decisions around asset purchases or pension contributions, and checking whether your remuneration structure is still sensible. By the time the year-end accounts are prepared, most of the decisions that affect your tax bill have already been made or missed. The aim is to make sure they are made deliberately.
What does tax planning for a limited company actually cost?
Pricing is fixed-fee and scoped to your business size and complexity. A core limited company package covers year-end accounts, CT600, and confirmation statement. Tax planning and director remuneration review are included within advisory engagements or added to a monthly retainer. You will receive a clear written quote before any work begins, and nothing is added to your fee without a conversation first.
My books are behind and my records are not in great shape. Can you still help?
Catch-up work is a normal part of onboarding, and most new clients arrive with records in some state of disarray. The catch-up is scoped and priced separately so you know what it will cost before it starts. Once the books are current and on the cloud, the ongoing service runs cleanly. The state of your current records does not prevent us from starting.
Is there a long-term contract? What happens if I want to leave?
There is no long-term lock-in. The arrangement works on a rolling basis, and you are free to give notice at any point. If you leave, your records are handed over in an organised state and in a format any incoming accountant can work with. The goal is to make the relationship worth continuing, not to make leaving difficult.
Can you help with R&D tax credits if my company does any qualifying development work?
Yes. R&D tax credit claims for SMEs require a careful assessment of qualifying expenditure and activities against HMRC’s current criteria. The rules have tightened in recent years and claims receive greater scrutiny, so the work needs to be properly documented and defensible. If there is a credible claim to be made, it is worth pursuing; if there is not, that assessment is given honestly rather than a claim filed speculatively.
How far in advance will I know what my corporation tax bill is going to be?
With quarterly management accounts and ongoing bookkeeping in place, a reliable tax estimate is usually available three to six months before the year-end. That gives enough time to consider legitimate planning steps — timing of capital expenditure, pension contributions, or dividend declarations — rather than finding out the figure after the year has already closed. The earlier in the year the picture is clear, the more options are available.
