How can we help you ?

FAQ

How do you help me reclaim tax on improvements to my business premises or rental properties?

Most accountants do not even inform their clients that capital allowances can be claimed as they are not tax accountants and so are not aware of how to do it. Our specialists will review your capital expenditure to determine how much rebate you could claim.

Why should I use SBT instead of my current accountants?

Probably lower fees than you currently pay to produce your annual accounts.

How can you help me reduce my business rates?

Business rates are based upon your assigned rateable value which is now determined by entry level staff at most local authorities. If in doubt they simply allocate the highest possible rate to get more money for the local authority. An experienced review of your rate will often result not only in a reduction of the rates paid but a reclaim of money already paid backdated 6 years – usually a significant rebate to you.
