We specialise in supporting property investment companies in Chelsea with complex compliance needs, including the submission of Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings (ATED) returns for properties valued over £500,000 – commonplace throughout the Chelsea property market.

We also assist clients with Worldwide Disclosure Facility submissions, relevant to many individuals in the area. Understanding the complex tax rules about assessing periods, foreign income to declare, if there is any withholding tax or any foreign tax paid in the other country, if double tax relief applies  is extremely important as this knowledge can, in some instances, save significant sums in tax and penalties.

Our Clients

We have many corporate clients with their business finances in and around the area, including hotels, financial advisors, property developers, estate agents, tradesmen and retail enterprises, to name a few.

Other clients include high-earning individuals earning more than £150k per annum who need to submit annual self assessment tax return advice. We also advise on personal pension top-ups before the end of the tax year to reduce overall tax liability, liaising with client’s financial advisors.

We have a host of individual clients including residential landlords with large property portfolios and higher earners with investment portfolios who need to do annual self-assessment tax returns and who need to get to grips with Making Tax Digital.

We act as property tax advisors to many overseas non-residential landlords in the area because overseas owners of residential investment properties need to be registered with HMRC by their management agents in order to avoid withholding taxes.

We can also help with the declaration of Capital Gains Tax on the sale of a property, for example a rental property. This has to be declared to HMRC within 60 days of the sale completion of the property to avoid penalties for late submission.

Cloud Accounting Software

Passman Leonard are certified cloud accounting software providers for Xero and DEXT. We provide full training to ensure our clients can get the most from their software ensuring financial data is as accurate and useful as possible.

These packages bring a fast, efficient range of accountancy services, especially if you are one of the many business owners who struggle to keep on top of your paperwork.

Our innovative, forward-thinking, paperless approach will not only save you time but streamline your processes and give you headspace to focus on growing your business. We are here to help with all of your processes including offering business advice and business planning – and peace of mind.

Hi, I’m Neil. I’m one of the partners at Passman Leonard and a chartered certified accountant with more than 20 years of experience. I work closely with our SME clients and make sure they feel supported and confident in their finances as well as meet their statutory compliance requirements.

Apart from number crunching I also enjoy exploring all things Tech for the practice and clients. Whether it’s testing new tools, improving systems, or just making sure everything runs smoothly, I’m always looking for ways that technology can make work more efficient for us and our clients.

When not working, I am a big sports fan and will watch and/or play almost any competitive sport, as long as it does not involve wheels! I also enjoy hiking, travelling and spending time with family and friends.

My experience with Puja Shah at Passman Leonard was extremely positive. She guided me through what, for me, is complicated territory. Her intelligence and patience were just what I needed. Any questions or concerns I had were dealt with in a very timely fashion and resolved to my satisfaction. I would not hesitate to most highly recommend.

I have worked with Passman Leonard for several years and I always found them supportive and knowledgeable. The most important bit is that they take holistic approach to company and personal tax, so tax planning covers all aspects and is considered from all angles, not only a single limited company, single self-employment or property ownership. I highly recommend to work with Puja, Paul and Neil!

Great company, great staff. I joined these guys a few years ago. My business and personal accounts were not in a very good place, pervious accountant hadn't done his job properly. Puja is great, she turned my accounts around and now I need not worry about the tax man or about my accounts as I know they are all very well looked after. I can concentrate on my business with a free mind when it comes to taxes, CIS payments and VAT returns. All thanks to those at Passman & Leonard. I have to add that Paul has always been very approachable and friendly and has helped me over the years also. Highly recommend!
