About Us
UA Tax is founded by Usman Azam who is a Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA) as well as a Fellow Chartered Certified Accountant (FCCA). He has over a decade of experience working at leading accountancy and tax practices, including BDO which is the fifth largest accountancy firm in the UK.
Usman is a specialist tax advisor and has significant experience working with Individuals, Start-ups, Property Owners and Accountants - providing them with bespoke tax advice and support.
We don't follow a one size fits all approach, instead we pride ourselves on giving the most relevant and tailored advice, specific to your circumstances.
The UK has one of the most (if not the most) complex tax system in the world, with tax legislation scattered between countless Acts and estimated to be over 20,000 pages long. Combine that with the ever increasing anti-avoidance rules and it's clear why navigating taxes can be a nightmare, even for accountants!
That’s where we excel because Tax IS OUR CORE EXPERTISE!
Our Credentials
UA Tax is regulated by ACCA, which is one of the largest accountancy body in the world.
Our founder is a Chartered Tax Adviser - The highest qualification in the UK for Tax Advisers.
Why Work With Us
We Get To Know You
At UA Tax, we work closely with our clients to gain a deep understanding of their unique needs, goals and aspirations. You are not just a number to us - We believe in building strong, lasting relationships based on trust and reliability.
This means that we take time to understand your circumstances and the challenges you face, enabling us to offer personalised and effective tax advice.
Transparent
We are transparent with our advice and timeline. We don't give false hopes by promising the world - only for those hopes to be shattered by HMRC!
The UK tax system has evolved over hundreds of years and any loopholes that existed have been eliminated over the years. So, if someone proposes a tax planning that sounds too good to be true - it probably is.
Having said that - there are many legitimate reliefs which have been introduced by the Parliament to incentivise certain behaviours. That's where our in-depth knowledge of tax can help you save significant sums. We make sure that you are aware of all reliefs relevant to your circumstances and ensure that those reliefs are claimed in a timely manner.
Our Commitment To You
No-Nonsense: We understand that tax can be confusing as is and we don't confuse you further with complicated tax terminologies. We understand the language of tax so that we can simplify it for you and free up your time to let you focus on what you do best – whether that's running your business or enjoying life to the full.
Tailored Advice: While there are countless rules in every area of tax - not all of them apply to every single situation. We use our understanding of your circumstances to ensure that our advice is comprehensive, but tailored to YOUR particular challenges and opportunities.
Easy Access: Ever had difficulty reaching your Accountant? We know how it feels like! We go the extra mile - we are always just a phone call or email away. Even better, you can directly book a meeting below!
Who We Work With
Accountants
Tax Partner to Accountants
We understand that running an accountancy practice is really challenging and requires constant effort to look after your clients, while staying ahead of the deadlines. Combine that with the ever changing tax landscape and we can see why it's extremely difficult, if not impossible to stay abreast of all developments taking place in the world of taxes.
That's where partnering with us can be the light at the end of the tunnel. Our core expertise is Tax and we stay ahead of the curve, so you don't have to. Think of us as an extension of your team - your go to tax experts.
We understand that hiring a full-time senior tax professional isn't always feasible for smaller accountancy practices. The inconsistent workload, scarcity of experienced professionals and high costs can make it a difficult decision. But that shouldn't limit your ability to offer top-notch tax advice and planning to your clients.
Partnering with us will allow you to offer a wider range of services to your clients – from proactive planning to handling complex compliance issues – all without the added cost of hiring more staff. This will not only help you attract new clients but also strengthen your relationships with existing ones.
Let's have a chat to discuss how we can help your Practice thrive.
Property Owners
Property ownership has become increasing complex over the last decade due to the countless tax changes introduced by the Government. These changes have impacted every stage of property ownership - whether that's Stamp Duty Land Tax surcharge for purchase of additional properties or the abolition of relief for mortgage interest as an expense (commonly known as Section 24).
These changes do not only impact Buy To Let Landlords - We have even seen first time home buyers being impacted by these changes due to the corelation between the various rules.
We understand that navigating through all these rules can feel overwhelming (if not daunting) and that's why we are here to help at every stage of your property ownership journey.
Whether you are a first-time buyer worried about the SDLT implications, a landlord seeking to optimise your tax position, or a seller looking to understand the capital gains tax implications. We are here to help!
Individuals
Most individuals are unaware of the sheer number of taxes they encounter throughout their lives. It comes as no surprise that individuals are subject to the most number of taxes in the UK. Individuals encounter taxes at every stage of their lives, starting with:
- Income tax (IT) on their earnings
- National Insurance Contribution (NIC) on their employment or self-employment income
- Value Added Tax (VAT) on most purchases
- Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) while purchasing a property
- Capital Gains Tax (CGT) while selling an asset
- Inheritance Tax (IHT) on their estate
Considering these taxes, the potential for missed opportunities or unexpected liabilities is huge. That's why we offer comprehensive support to individuals, which includes:
Strategic Tax Planning: Working closely with you means that we understand your unique circumstances and that allows us to offer strategic tax advice and planning on everything from keeping more of your income to buying a home and retirement planning.
Proactive Tax Compliance: Tax planning is really important - However, it's the Non-Compliance with tax obligations that can get you in trouble with HMRC. Our proactive approach ensures that you meet all your tax obligations accurately and on time, resulting in your peace of mind.
