Year

2025

Wooden boats under construction in a large boat shed under a gantry crane.

1

The problem

Fenwick paid tax in advance based on a record year. This year’s profit was lower, so the company was paying for profit it was not making.

2

What we did

We forecast the year’s taxable profit every quarter.

We used the forecast to support a lower advance payment.

We set up a quarterly review, so the payments follow the forecast in both directions.

What changed

Fenwick kept £186,000 in the business during 2025 that would otherwise have been paid early and refunded later.
