Tax Advisers in Kent

ICAEW Chartered tax advisers in Kent helping businesses, landlords and individuals stay compliant — and pay no more tax than they need to.

Proactive tax advice — not just a return at year-end

UK tax is more complex than it has ever been. The right advice at the right moment — before you sell a property, take a dividend, buy out a partner, or pass an asset to the next generation — can make a real difference. Professional Trust Group is a chartered firm of tax advisers based in Rochester, working with clients throughout Kent and the rest of the UK. Because "tax adviser" isn't a protected title, it's worth understanding what chartered status actually guarantees before you choose who to trust with your tax affairs.

Areas of tax we cover

  • Self-assessment tax returns for directors, sole traders, landlords and high earners
  • Corporation tax planning, including R&D and capital allowances
  • Capital gains tax — including 60-day residential property reporting
  • Inheritance tax planning, trusts and estates
  • VAT — registration, scheme reviews, partial exemption
  • Property tax, including section 24, incorporation and SDLT
  • HMRC enquiries, disclosures and dispute resolution

Working with local clients

We act for clients in Rochester, Medway, Maidstone, Sittingbourne, Chatham, Gillingham and across the rest of Kent. Most of our work runs through cloud accounting and video, with in-person meetings at our Rochester office or your premises whenever that's more useful. If you're choosing between firms, see why an independent local accountant still beats the big groups.

Frequently asked questions

What does a tax adviser actually do?
A tax adviser helps you stay compliant with HMRC while also making sure you're not paying more tax than you legally have to. That covers preparing and filing returns, planning ahead for events like a sale or inheritance, structuring your business or property holdings, and dealing with HMRC if they open an enquiry.
What's the difference between an accountant and a tax adviser?
Many accountants do tax work — and we do both. The difference is depth: a tax adviser specialises in the rules and planning opportunities around income tax, corporation tax, CGT, IHT, SDLT and VAT, rather than only year-end accounts.
Can you help with HMRC enquiries?
Yes. We represent clients through HMRC enquiries, voluntary disclosures and dispute work, dealing with the correspondence and meetings on your behalf so you don't have to.
Do I need to live in Kent?
No. We're based in Kent and act for a lot of Kent clients, but we also advise individuals and businesses across the rest of the UK.
How much do tax advisers in Kent charge?
Compliance work like a personal tax return is normally a fixed fee. Planning and HMRC enquiry work is usually scoped and quoted upfront once we understand what's involved. The initial introductory consultation — where we discuss your needs and our fees — is free.
