Tax Advisory Services in London and Across the UK
Frozen thresholds, higher dividend rates and tighter reliefs mean more of your income and gains are taxed each year unless you plan ahead. ABM Chartered Accountants provides tax advisory for business owners, directors, landlords and higher earners across every tax.
Proactive Planning Across Personal and Business Tax
Tax advisory is the planning layer above compliance. Our chartered team reviews your income, company profits, property and assets together, then advises on structure, timing and reliefs before decisions are made. For 2026 to 2027 that means navigating personal allowances frozen at £12,570 until 2031, dividend rates of 10.75% and 35.75%, capital gains rates of 18% and 24%, and corporation tax of 25%.
Every engagement starts with a written tax review setting out your current position, the options available, the saving each delivers and the actions we recommend.

Why Planning Beats Filing
Lower tax legally: Reliefs, allowances and timing choices are applied deliberately, not discovered after the deadline.
Decisions made with the tax cost known: Buying, selling, incorporating or gifting is modelled before you commit.
Personal and business aligned: Director remuneration, company profits and family income are planned as one picture.
Change tracked for you: Budget changes such as the 2026 dividend rise are built into your plan each year.
HMRC risk reduced: Advice is documented and defensible, keeping you clear of aggressive schemes.

Tax Advisory FAQs
Answers to the questions business owners, directors and individuals ask most about tax advisory and planning services.
How does tax advisory differ from compliance?
Compliance is preparing and filing returns accurately. Tax advisory is planning ahead to reduce what those returns show, through structure, timing, reliefs and allowances, while staying entirely within the law.
Who needs tax advisory services?
Company directors, sole traders above the basic rate band, landlords, anyone selling a business or property, families with estates above £325,000, and businesses claiming R&D or capital allowances.
What changed for tax in 2026 to 2027?
Dividend tax rose to 10.75% and 35.75%, Business Asset Disposal Relief increased to 18%, thresholds stay frozen until 2031 and business and agricultural inheritance reliefs are now capped.
Is salary or dividends still better for directors?
Usually a mix. Dividends carry no National Insurance despite the two point rate rise, so a low salary plus dividends and pension contributions remains efficient. We model your exact figures annually.
Do you offer one-off tax advice?
Yes. Many clients engage us for a single review before a property sale, incorporation or business exit. Others retain us for annual planning alongside their compliance work.
Is tax advisory the same as tax avoidance?
No. We use reliefs and structures Parliament intended, documented and defensible to HMRC. We do not promote marketed avoidance schemes, which carry penalties, interest and serious reputational risk.
