Governments and trade organisations take very seriously the need for businesses to conduct their accounting in ways that are transparent and compliant with legislative and regulatory requirements. The need to produce real-time reporting and the commercial pressures to streamline processes and improve efficiency represents a potentially significant burden on business.

DSNA has invested in the personnel and digital resources necessary to manage all your accounting obligations, ensuring that risk is minimised and complexity simplified, leaving you free to concentrate on your core business activities.

Restructuring and realignment can be planned or organic but however their need arises, they need to be managed skilfully and professionally.

We are equipped to address and answer the big questions. Our analysis of the future shape and function of indirect taxation forms the basis of complex strategic planning.

Success in business depends heavily on the ability to evolve and adapt. As a key supporter of commerce and industry, the government offers a wide range of very valuable tax reliefs and incentives. These are kept under constant review and the extent, type and availability of grants and exemptions are changing all the time.

At DSNA, we make it our business to know at all times precisely what help is available to companies in funding their innovation plans. Many companies miss out on support simply because they do not know how or what to claim. We can advise on the entire range of credits and reliefs including expenditure and tax credits, research and development, creative sector reliefs, targeted grants, IP incentives and Patent Box.

One of the many challenges this rapidly changing environment presents is that of intercompany pricing. National governments, financial regulators and international institutions such as the EU are increasing their demands for businesses to meet the requirements of pricing documentation and tax transparency.

In this exacting environment, it is essential to have a globally efficient strategy for the management and execution of transfer pricing. At DSNA we have extensive experience in minimising the risks inherent in intercompany transfer pricing. We can also provide expert guidance on how to improve your transfer pricing systems to maximise efficiency while streamlining processes.

In addition to the powers of oversight entrusted to bodies such as the FCA, the SEC and their equivalents, businesses must also develop sound strategies for managing their tax compliance across multiple jurisdictions. Reporting, filing and compliance are essential administrative obligations, but at the same time it can be enormously beneficial to businesses to pursue an agile tax policy that matches your corporate objectives.

At DSNA our specialist teams can help you maintain full compliance while developing a highly tax efficient strategy that meets all your cross-border needs.

The shift to digital methods of accounting and recording has necessitated significant changes in practice while the increase in regulatory oversight has added to your obligations.

But tax compliance is not a one-way street. Every point of compliance contains an instructive lesson which a business can leverage to improve decision-making, adapt tax strategy and enhance profitability. The proliferation, availability and transmissibility of data presents exceptional opportunities to businesses in developing smarter processes and gaining considerable competitive advantage. DSNA has the expertise to proof your company against change in all parts of the global market, enhancing performance and guaranteeing peace of mind.

Many companies make the mistake of believing their activities would not qualify under the scheme and that, in any case, the claims process is lengthy with uncertain outcomes.

At DSNA we have learned from experience that virtually every company is engaged in some form of qualifying R&D. HMRC is committed to encouraging investment in innovation and its tax reliefs, either as a reduction in corporate tax or cash repayment, could be enjoyed by many more companies than currently take advantage of them. Our R&D experts can ensure that you no longer miss out on this generous assistance.
