Tax Review
A thorough review of your tax position that finds reliefs you are missing and risks you should address.
A clear picture of your tax position
A tax review is an independent, top-to-bottom assessment of your tax position, showing exactly where you stand and where money is being left on the table. We act for businesses and individuals across Mullingar, Longford, Trim and Athlone, and a review is often the first step in a longer relationship.
Tax is easy to get wrong by omission. Reliefs go unclaimed, allowances are forgotten, and decisions made years ago quietly cost money every year since. A review brings all of that into the open so you can act on it.
What we look at
Our review is structured around your actual circumstances, but it typically covers:
- Income tax and corporation tax, whether your income tax and corporation tax returns claim every credit, relief and allowance you are entitled to.
- Business structure, whether trading as a sole trader, partnership or limited company still suits your situation, and the tax cost of changing.
- Capital taxes, your exposure to capital gains tax on assets you hold, and to capital acquisitions tax on gifts and inheritances, with CGT planning and CAT planning flagged where relevant.
- VAT, whether you are registered correctly, recovering what you can, and handling areas like VAT on property properly.
- Pensions and extraction, how you take money out of your company and whether there is a more efficient route.
- Risk and compliance, anything that could attract Revenue attention, so it can be addressed before it becomes an issue. If you are concerned about exposure, our note on preparing for a Revenue audit is a useful starting point.
What you get
You receive a plain-English report: the reliefs you should be claiming, the risks worth addressing, and a prioritised list of recommended actions with the likely tax effect of each. We walk through it with you, answer your questions and agree what to do next.
Because we also handle compliance taxation day to day, we can carry the recommendations straight through into your filings, so the savings we identify actually land.
Honest about what changes
Irish tax rates and reliefs move from year to year, and many reliefs carry strict conditions. Our review reflects the current position, and we confirm the precise figures that apply to your year before you act. Where the right answer depends on a future decision, we will tell you that too.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What does a tax review involve?
We examine your recent returns, your business and personal structure, and the way income and assets are held, then compare that against the reliefs, credits and allowances you could be claiming. The result is a clear, written summary of where you stand: any reliefs you are missing, any exposure that needs attention, and the actions worth taking.
How is a tax review different from tax planning?
A tax review looks at where you are now and what has already happened. Tax planning looks forward at decisions you are about to make. The two work together, a review often uncovers the issues that planning then puts right, so most clients move naturally from one to the other.
Will a tax review flag risks as well as savings?
Yes. As well as identifying reliefs you could claim, we look for anything that could become a problem in a Revenue audit, areas where the position is unclear, returns are inconsistent, or supporting records are thin. Finding these early gives you the chance to fix them on your own terms.
Who benefits most from a tax review?
Anyone whose circumstances have changed, a growing company, a business owner approaching retirement, a landlord with several properties, or someone who has never had their full position looked at independently. If it has been a few years since anyone stood back and assessed the whole picture, a review usually pays for itself.
