Are you paying more tax than you need to? Most businesses and individuals in Nottingham are, and not because they’re doing anything wrong. It’s usually because they haven’t had the right advice at the right time.
Tax planning isn’t something you do once a year. It’s about making the right decisions throughout the year, before deadlines, before investments, and before income is locked in.
As experienced tax planning accountants, we don’t just file your returns and move on. At Archimedia Accounts, we work with you across the year to structure your income, profits, and investments in a way that’s fully compliant and as tax-efficient as possible.

What Is Tax Planning and Why Does It Matter?
Tax planning is about making smart, forward-thinking decisions that keep more money in your business and your pocket, rather than simply submitting figures to HMRC.
Without proper planning, you risk paying more corporation tax or income tax than necessary, being caught off guard by unexpected bills, and missing out on allowances and reliefs you’re fully entitled to. Worse still, you might be making growth or investment decisions without fully understanding the tax consequences, and by the time you realise, it’s too late to do anything about it.
The businesses that consistently pay less tax aren’t necessarily doing anything clever. They just have the right people planning ahead for them.
Our Tax Planning Services
Business Tax Planning
Our business tax planning services are built around your specific structure and goals, whether you’re a start-up finding your feet, a growing SME, or an established limited company.
We can look at:
- Profit extraction strategies, so you can get money out of your business in the most efficient way
- Corporation tax planning to reduce your liability within HMRC rules
- Director remuneration planning to find the right salary and dividend balance
- Business restructuring, so that if your current setup is costing you more than it should, we’ll tell you and we’ll show you what to do about it.
Personal Tax Planning
For company directors and high earners, personal tax planning can make a significant difference to your take-home income. We help you make full use of the allowances, thresholds, and reliefs available to you, from income tax bands and dividend planning through to capital gains strategies and high-earner efficiency. The goal is to protect more of what you earn.
Self-Employed & Sole Trader Tax Planning
If you’re self-employed, you may be missing out on tax-saving opportunities simply through not knowing they exist. We help Nottingham sole traders get a clear picture of their allowable expenses, National Insurance position, and the timing of income and outgoings. We’ll also look at pension contributions as a tax-efficiency tool, an area that’s consistently underused by self-employed individuals.
Limited Company Tax Planning
Running a limited company comes with real opportunities to reduce your tax bill, but only if you plan properly. We work with directors to find the right balance between salary and dividends, explore R&D tax relief eligibility where applicable, and make the most of available capital allowances, all while keeping everything fully compliant with HMRC.
Capital Gains Tax Planning
Selling a property, shares, or a business? Early planning is essential. We help you structure disposals to take advantage of available exemptions and reliefs, reducing your CGT liability where legally possible. The earlier we’re involved, the more options you have.
Tax Planning for Growing Businesses
Growth brings complexity. Hiring, expanding, and investing all carry tax implications that are easy to overlook when you’re focused on running a business. We provide proactive support through those critical growth stages so that scaling up doesn’t lead to a nasty tax surprise further down the line.
How It Works
First, we kick off with a free tax review. This mini audit will take a look at your current position and finances to identify where you could be saving money on tax.
From there, we build a tailored tax plan that focuses on your goals, structure, and circumstances that we can put into action, coordinating with your accounting and bookkeeping as needed.
Then, we will regularly review your plan to ensure it’s still the most efficient one, adapting to changing tax laws.
Who We Help
We aren’t a company that puts every business into a box and treats each one the same. Every single business has different needs, different requirements and manages their finances differently.
This is why we can work with everyone from limited company directors to small and medium-sized businesses, sole traders to freelancers, contractors to high-earning individuals across Nottingham and the wider UK.
We work with you to assess your exact needs and then our team of experts can focus on delivering such needs.
Why Choose Archimedia Accounts?
Barbara (Head of Tax) and Chris have been doing this for over 30 years. Alongside that, they’ve built their own commercial and residential property portfolio, so they’re not just advising on tax, they’re making the same decisions themselves.
That matters, because good tax planning isn’t theory. It’s knowing what to do before profits are taken, before investments are made, and before deadlines lock things in.
We don’t just speak to you once a year when everything’s already happened. We stay involved, so when something changes, whether that’s income, growth, or plans, we can act on it at the right time.
And when we talk things through, we keep it clear. No jargon, no overcomplicating it. Just what you need to know and what to do next.
