Tax services should give you clarity and peace of mind. At GW & Co Accountants, we provide tax services to help individuals and business owners understand exactly what needs to be filed, what information is required, and when deadlines fall, without jargon or pressure.

As approachable accountants, we provide personal taxation services, self-assessment, VAT, and corporation tax support for clients across Falmouth, Penryn and the rest of Cornwall. We’ll confirm what HMRC expects, prepare and submit your returns correctly, and keep your records in order so nothing gets missed. If HMRC contacts you, we can deal with queries directly and keep things moving.

You’ll work with a local team that responds quickly, explains things clearly, and takes the time to get it right, so your tax is handled properly and you’re not left second-guessing anything.

Our Taxation Services

Self Assessment

Self Assessment is used to report your income and ensure the right amount of tax is paid. Not everyone needs to file a return, so we’ll confirm if it applies to you. If it does, we prepare and submit your Self Assessment, check the figures are correct, and make sure deadlines are met.

VAT

VAT can be difficult to manage without clear advice. We support businesses with VAT registration, returns, and scheme selection, making sure everything is submitted correctly and on time. If you’re unsure what applies to your business, we’ll explain it clearly.

Corporate Tax and Planning

Corporate tax affects how much your company pays and when. We prepare corporation tax returns, deal with HMRC where needed, and help you plan so that tax decisions support your business rather than restrict it.

Personal Tax Planning

Personal tax planning helps ensure you’re paying the right amount of tax based on your income and circumstances. We review your position, explain your options, and help you plan, so there are no surprises.

How Our Tax Services Work

1) Quick Chat

Tell us what you need help with (Self Assessment, VAT, Corporation Tax, or personal tax planning). We’ll confirm what applies to you and what information we’ll need.

2) We Gather What’s Needed

We’ll give you a clear list of documents/figures to provide and set deadlines, so nothing is missed or left to the last minute.

FAQs

The main Self-Assessment deadline is 31 January following the end of the tax year for online returns. If you file a paper return, the deadline is 31 October. Missing these dates can result in penalties and interest.

As part of our tax services in Falmouth, we confirm your filing deadline early, calculate any tax due in advance, and make sure everything is submitted on time.
You usually need to register for VAT if your taxable turnover exceeds the VAT threshold, but voluntary registration can also be helpful in some cases. This depends on your income, expenses, and customer base.

Our accountants review your figures, explain the pros and cons clearly, and confirm whether VAT registration is required or sensible for your business.
A personal tax account is set up through the HMRC website using your National Insurance number and proof of identity. It allows you to manage Self-Assessment, check tax records, and update details online. 

We help clients set this up correctly as part of our personal taxation services, making sure your account is linked properly and ready for filing.
The cost depends on the type of return and how complex your tax affairs are. Simple personal tax returns usually cost less than returns involving rental income, multiple income sources, or business accounts.

With our tax services in Falmouth, fees are agreed upfront once we understand your situation, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before any work begins.
You can check this by reviewing your tax calculation, income figures, and allowances used by HMRC. Errors often happen when information is missing or reported incorrectly.

We can review your tax position, check HMRC’s calculations, and confirm that you’re paying the right amount — no more than you should.
