Private Tax Efficiency Review | Thomas & Co International

The Hard Truth

UK Businesses Overpaid £11.9 Billion in Corporation Tax. In a Single Year.

And that's corporation tax alone. Self-assessment taxpayers overpaid another £8.9 billion in 2024/25, and HMRC won't chase anyone to hand any of it back. Add the employer's National Insurance and VAT paid unnecessarily on top, with rates climbing and thresholds frozen until 2031. Most business owners are already overpaying, rarely because they've done anything wrong, and usually because they've never had proactive tax advice.

Your accountant keeps you compliant and files what's already happened. We look ahead and build you a structure that protects more of what you earn, so you pay the right amount of tax and not a penny more.

Who This Is For

Is This You?

This is for you if…

One is enough.

You run a UK company doing £1M+ turnover with £300K+ of profit a year (around £25K+ a month after costs).
There's cash building up in the company and it isn't earning a return.
The money you take out of the business is taxed more heavily than it should be.
You've got property or investments sitting inside the company.
You're wondering whether you or the company would be better off overseas, or you've already made the move.
You're thinking about an exit, whether that's soon or a few years away.
Or you simply suspect you're paying more tax than you should.

This isn't for you if…

Your profit is under £300K a year, where the savings won't justify the investment yet.
You'd rather leave things as they are, even if it's costing you.
You're looking for tax evasion or anything illegal, rather than legitimate planning.
You want an accountant just for filing, not tax advisory.
You can't spend 45 minutes finding out where you stand.
You're confident you're already tax-efficient in every area.

If even one of those sounds like you, your structure hasn't kept pace with your business, and that usually means money left on the table.

Final Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a sales call?

No. The first call is your Private Tax Efficiency Review with one of our senior advisers. It starts with understanding your business, and ends with us knowing exactly where you're overpaying and where you're exposed. Then we go away, build your roadmap, and present it to you on a second call.

Is my business the right size for this?

Most of the businesses we work with are doing £1M+ in turnover with £300K+ of profit a year. If you're close to that, apply anyway, and we'll tell you honestly whether the savings would justify the investment.

What does it cost if we work together?

The review is free. If it's a fit, you'll see your roadmap and the fee together on the second call. Nothing is committed until you decide, and we only recommend going ahead where the value clearly outweighs the fee.

Is my information confidential?

Completely. Every client gets the same absolute confidentiality, and nothing you share ever leaves the firm.

Isn't this what my accountant already does?

There's a reason you're reading this. Ask yourself: does your accountant bring you proactive tax advice, unprompted? If the answer is no, you have your answer. The compliance work can stay exactly where it is, and the strategy is what's been missing.

Do I need to leave my current accountant?

No. Some of our clients keep their existing accountant, and nothing about that relationship needs to change. We identify what's been missing, and if you ever want to consolidate everything under one roof, that's a choice, but it's certainly not a requirement.

Who will I be speaking to?

One of the senior advisers on the team Josh built, many of whom trained at EY, KPMG, PwC and Grant Thornton. The person you speak to reviews businesses like yours every week.

What happens after I apply?

We look at your answers, and if it's a fit, we'll book your review in. Either way, you'll hear from us, and you'll always know the next step.

Your Business Has Outgrown Its Structure. Let's Build the One That Stops You Overpaying.

Worst case, you spend 45 minutes and get an honest read on where you stand. Best case, you find out exactly where you're overpaying, and how to fix it.

It's free, there's no obligation, and we don't take on every business that applies.
