Why Tax?

At BHP, we offer a variety of tax services.

Personal Tax

We all want to make the most of our money and our Private Client Tax team helps our clients do just that. Our dedicated team of professionals offer a full personal tax planning and financial planning service. Our innovative approach takes into account who our clients are, what they do, their plans, career, family and any businesses they may own or be involved in – not to mention the all-important legacy that they’ll leave behind.

Our team helps to make decisions easier for individuals reviewing their personal tax affairs. We do this by bringing together expertise in tax, financial planning, trusts and estates, and inheritance tax planning.

BHP experts can advise on a multitude of tax planning ideas and will work on our clients’ objectives to reach the best possible solution for them. Our bespoke, first-class tax advice will help reduce taxes and protect our clients’ wealth.

Corporate Tax

BHP provides essential advice and specialist insight to support businesses with their tax obligations and alleviate the strain.

We provide business with an effective, efficient service, making sure that every aspect of business tax compliance is dealt with. This is just part of the service we offer. We will also provide our clients with first-class tax planning advice that’s driven by their specific commercial aims and needs.

We understand that tax can be a complex and ever-changing landscape for business owners. Our team will take the time to get to know our clients, their business, and their plans and aspirations. This enables us to tailor a solution to support our clients on their journey.

VAT

Our specialist VAT team works with our clients to protect their business’ profitability. In principle, VAT is a simple tax; however, the law and regulations governing VAT are forever changing. When coupled with regular new interpretations by the courts, in both the UK and Europe, VAT is, in fact, a very complex tax.

Our in-depth knowledge of VAT is based on the experience gained by our VAT specialists both within Customs and Excise and professional practice. We give clients the best possible advice, ensuring they only pay the VAT they’re legally required to pay and that they obtain all the reliefs to which they’re entitled.

Not studying finance or accountancy? No problem! If you have a genuine enthusiasm for high-quality service, a great work ethic, and either possess, or are on track to attain, a 2:2 or above, we’d still love to receive your application.

We’ll continue to accept and process Graduate Scheme applications on a rolling basis until all vacancies have been filled. We therefore recommend submitting your application as soon as possible to ensure you don’t miss out on your preferred position/location.

Please note that BHP is not currently a Home Office licensed sponsor. All applicants must be able to demonstrate that they have and will continue to have the right to work in the UK for the duration of the programme without sponsorship.
