Reduce your tax bill legally

No-one wants to pay more tax than is legally required. Even if you've filled out your tax return correctly, there are usually ways of reducing the amount you have to pay. Except, by the time you receive your tax bill, it's usually too late. Perhaps you didn't realise there were items that could have been deducted? At Compass Treuhand, we'll work with you to reduce your tax burden.

Tax return checklist

Do you have all the documents you need for your tax return? The better prepared you are, the quicker you can get it done. Depending on the scope, it can take as little as four to six weeks to get it ready. Our checklist will help ensure you don't forget anything.
