Tax & Accounting for Sevenoaks Businesses

Sevenoaks TN13-TN14 is one of Kent's most affluent and prestigious commuter towns, with a high-earning professional and company-director population, an upmarket High Street, excellent schools, and a fast rail link into the City and Charing Cross. The town and its surrounding villages have some of the highest property values in the county, a strong owner-managed business community, and an affluent landlord market.

That gives Sevenoaks a particular accounting profile. High earners and company directors need self-assessment, bonus and investment income handling, profit-extraction strategy and owner-managed company advice. The High Street independents need upmarket retail and hospitality bookkeeping. Professionals need careful remuneration planning. Family businesses need succession and inheritance tax planning. And the affluent landlord community faces substantial CGT and Section 24 restrictions. We work with Sevenoaks clients entirely online, with fixed monthly fees.

💡 As an HMRC-registered agent we deal directly with HMRC on your behalf, so you never have to spend hours on hold or navigate their website yourself.

Client Story

How we saved a Sevenoaks business owner £16,800 on profit extraction and IHT

Client B owns a successful Sevenoaks-based trading company with substantial retained profits, a valuable home and a growing investment portfolio, and wanted to extract profit efficiently while starting to plan passing wealth to the next generation. He'd been drawing high dividends with no broader strategy and no inheritance tax planning.

We built a combined extraction and estate-planning strategy. We set up substantial employer pension contributions (tax-deductible, extracting profit efficiently and outside the estate for IHT), reviewed Business Property Relief on the trading company shares, modelled gifting and a future Members' Voluntary Liquidation for the reserves, and coordinated with his solicitor and wealth manager on the wider estate plan.

Total outcome: an estimated £16,800 annual saving versus continuing to draw high dividends, through pension contributions and a planned capital extraction route, plus an inheritance tax strategy using Business Property Relief, pension exclusion and staged gifting.
Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm a Sevenoaks business owner with retained company profits. Best way to extract them?
Options include ongoing dividends, employer pension contributions (tax-deductible, efficient, and outside your estate for IHT), and, if closing the company, a Members' Voluntary Liquidation where reserves come out as capital with Business Asset Disposal Relief at 10% potentially applying, versus dividend rates up to 39.35%. For significant reserves, a combined strategy often saves the most. We'll model it.
Do I need to be local to use you as my Sevenoaks accountant?
No, we work with Sevenoaks clients entirely online, by phone, email, video call and secure document exchange. You get the same depth of attention and complex-affairs expertise without visiting an office. For high-net-worth and owner-managed work, the right expertise matters more than physical proximity.
Can you help with inheritance tax planning for my Sevenoaks estate?
Yes. Initial IHT planning given high-value property and business assets. Business Property Relief usually gives 100% relief on unquoted trading company shares, pensions sit outside the estate, and staged gifting (Potentially Exempt Transfers) reduces the estate over the seven-year clock. We advise on the options and coordinate with your solicitor and wealth manager.
How should I take profit from my Sevenoaks Ltd company?
Most efficiently: salary at the NIC-optimal level plus dividends, with substantial employer pension contributions (tax-deductible, up to £60,000 with carry-forward). For owners with retained reserves planning to retire, a future MVL extracts capital at the 10% Business Asset Disposal Relief rate. We model the optimal combination.
I'm a Sevenoaks high earner with a bonus. How do I manage the tax?
Income above £100,000 hits the 60% effective rate from the personal allowance taper; above £125,140 the additional rate. Pension contributions reduce adjusted net income and recover the allowance; Gift Aid extends the basic-rate band; timing of share vesting helps. We model the options before the bonus is paid.
School fees are a big cost for Sevenoaks families. Tax-efficient ways to fund them?
School fees come from post-tax income, there's no direct relief. But grandparents can help tax-efficiently (gifts are Potentially Exempt Transfers for IHT, and a grandparent settling income on a grandchild can use the child's personal allowance). For business owners, the remuneration structure can be optimised. We'll advise on the legitimate options.
I'm a Sevenoaks landlord with high-value property. CGT and Section 24?
Section 24 restricts personal landlord mortgage interest relief to a 20% credit. On disposal, CGT at 18%/24% applies on a potentially large gain, with IHT exposure too. We provide a comprehensive review covering income, disposal and estate planning, and model whether a company structure helps.
