Why Beacon Tax

Tax doesn't have to feel like a fog

We started Beacon to take the dread out of self-assessment. No call centres, no surprise bills, no acronyms you have to Google. Just a steady adviser who knows your situation and tells you, plainly, what to do next.

  • Fixed fees, agreed up front

    You'll know the exact price before we start — no hourly meter, no nasty letters.

  • One adviser, all year

    The same friendly face from first call to filing — and whenever HMRC writes.

  • We chase every legitimate saving

    Allowances, reliefs and expenses most people miss — claimed properly, on time.

Good to know

The questions we hear most

How much does a tax return cost?

Most straightforward self-assessment returns are a fixed £165. Landlords, sole traders and Capital Gains have their own clear fixed prices — all agreed in writing before we begin, so there are never any surprises.

I'm behind on several years — can you help?

Absolutely, and you're not alone. We handle late and overdue returns every week, deal with HMRC on your behalf and, where possible, help reduce penalties. No judgement, just a plan.

What do I actually need to send you?

Far less than you'd think. We send a short, friendly checklist tailored to your situation — usually your income figures, any expenses and a few details. You can upload, email or post them.

Will you deal with HMRC for me?

Yes. As a registered HMRC agent we can speak to them directly, handle letters and penalties, and keep you out of the phone queues entirely.

Do you only work with local clients?

Not at all. We're based in Oxford but look after clients across the UK. Everything can be done by phone, email and secure upload — though you're always welcome to pop in for a coffee.
