Company Structure - International and UK domestic Tax Self Assessment and compliance in UK whilst living overseas.

How has Kamlesh Rajput helped you?

He arranged for me to resolve a Tax problem I encountered and resolved it with expertise through his network and careful planning. He was instrumental throughout the process and very patient and logical. He manages my self assessment each year and it is done promptly and with ease especially I am based overseas.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes and very happy with the results.

What could they have done better?

Earlier contact when preparing for Self Assessment. As being overseas and not having all the information at hand instantly would require me to have a longer period to prepare what I would need to prepare. Otherwise, continue as normal.

3 days after my enquiry a young lady telephoned me , I had missed her call the day before. I assume she worked for the accountant but at the time I couldn't speak to her. I asked her to call me back within 1 hour which she agreed to do. She did not call back so I cancelled my enquiry and pursued assistance elsewhere.

We had accountants previously who we felt not taking interest into micro details of business and had things messed up. Which made us looking into new accountant and we ended up with Kamlesh and I have not regret appointing Kamlesh as our accountant.

How has Kamlesh Rajput helped you?

Kamlesh and team went out of their way to ensure everything is calculated correctly and we were clear on everything, offered suggestions to help, made themselves available to suit my time, made sure I knew what was needed to comply with UK tax rules, and then sorted everything out with the revenue service.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Kamlesh were very friendly, informative, interactive and prompt, didn't charge extra's for the support I needed (didn't charge for meetings either) and helped me sleep easy at night. In fact they were upfront on everything and I knew from the start exactly what my costs would be… I found them outstanding, and far easier to work with.
