Taxation

People and businesses are subject to a wide range of taxes including Income Tax, Corporation Tax, Capital Gains Tax, Inheritance Tax, Stamp Duty, Value Added Tax and PRSI. Tax planning with A. Godwin & Co. can help to minimize the effect of these taxes, whether you’re a business or individual.

Where tax is concerned we recognise the importance of considering the implications of all taxes on your circumstances and not just a particular tax you may want to review.

Our philosophy is to understand our client’s business in order to provide expert tax solutions that are timely, practical and relevant. We also take care that the tax tail is not wagging the dog and your review is undertaken for commercial reasons as well as the pure tax savings. Since tax legislation is regularly changing, we also recommend that your plans are regularly appraised.

Our job is not simply to calculate the tax due and tell you what to pay. Our job is to help you plan your business activities so as to maximise the available tax reliefs and discuss with you in advance the tax implications of business decisions.

We advise on all aspects of taxation to facilitate the needs of both corporate and individual clients.
