TreyBridge Accountants provides tax planning for owner-managed businesses and their owners across the UK and Ireland. Our office is at C4DI in Hull. We plan during the year, not only when a return is due, so you can see what tax is likely to be, what decisions will change it, and what needs to happen before the year end. Tax planning is one of the things TreyBridge is known for, alongside management accounts, profitability and knowing your numbers. It uses the reliefs and choices that already exist, so you pay what is fair rather than more than you need to.
A typical engagement looks at the business and at you as the owner together. That usually includes:
We will confirm the scope with you before we begin, because the right work depends on your structure and your profits.
Tax planning is useful if you run an owner-managed limited company, you are a sole trader or partner, or you take a mix of salary and dividends and want that mix reviewed for the year. It also helps when profits are rising towards a Corporation Tax threshold, when you are taking on staff, or when you plan to invest or take more money out of the business.
We work with businesses of many kinds, not only digital or technology firms, online across the UK and Ireland. There is no London office. Aaron Gilmore, the founder, is personally ACCA registered. The firm itself is not an ACCA firm. TreyBridge is supervised by HMRC for anti-money laundering and is registered with Companies House as an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP).
We start with a conversation about the business, how you pay yourself, and what is coming up in the next 12 months. We then use your bookkeeping and, where we prepare them, your management accounts to build a picture of profit, cash and tax. That is easier when the books are up to date, which is why tax planning sits alongside monthly reporting.
You will receive clear options, not a jargon-heavy report, including the tax effect of each choice and any deadlines. If you also need a Self Assessment return, that work can follow the same plan. You can book a discovery call or use our contact page.
TreyBridge is a Xero Gold Partner. We also support QuickBooks, Sage and FreeAgent, and we are Dext experts. When receipts and bills are captured in Dext and published into Xero or your other software, the profit figure we plan from is closer to the truth.
You do not have to use Xero or Dext to work with us. If you already have a system that works, we will usually work with it. You can see the packages we support on our software pages.
For the financial year starting 1 April 2026, Corporation Tax is 19% on profits of £50,000 or less and 25% on profits above £250,000, with marginal relief between those limits. The limits can be reduced if you have associated companies. Within that, there are still legitimate choices: salary, dividends, pension contributions, and the timing of investment in plant and machinery. The Annual Investment Allowance is £1 million for 2026 to 2027, and companies may also be able to use full expensing on qualifying expenditure. We will only recommend what fits your profits, your cash and your plans. You can also read our article on how to reduce your Corporation Tax bill.
For many owners, the personal tax bill is driven by those same decisions. For the 2026 to 2027 tax year, the Personal Allowance is £12,570 and the dividend allowance is £500. Dividend tax rates above that allowance are 10.75% at the basic rate, 35.75% at the higher rate and 39.35% at the additional rate. Employer National Insurance and pensions belong in the same conversation. If you wish, we will align the plan with your payroll and your personal tax return.
VAT is part of planning too. The VAT registration threshold is £90,000 of taxable turnover in a rolling 12-month period, and the deregistration threshold is £88,000. If you are approaching either figure, it is better to look at it early.
Monthly management accounts show whether profits are tracking the plan, whether cash will be there to pay the tax, and whether a decision can still be made in time. That is the practical side of knowing your numbers and improving profitability. Tax planning also sits with the rest of what we do, including bookkeeping, payroll, personal tax and, where you need it, Companies House identity verification.
This page summarises the official position for 2026 to 2027. You should always check the latest rates and thresholds on GOV.UK.
A tax return looks backwards and reports what has already happened. Tax planning looks at the year you are in, and the year ahead, and uses legitimate reliefs and timing choices so your tax bill is fair. The valuable work is the decisions you make before the year end.
As early as you can, and then review it as the year unfolds. Choices such as pension contributions, salary, dividends and equipment purchases need time to put in place. Waiting until a filing deadline usually means the opportunity has already passed.
No. We are based at C4DI in Hull and work with owner-managed businesses across the UK and Ireland, online or at our Hull office. We do not have a London office.
No. We are a Xero Gold Partner, but we also support QuickBooks, Sage and FreeAgent. The important point is that your records are complete and current. Dext can help with that, but it is not a condition of working with us.
