    We understand that it is important for anyone running a limited company to understand their financial position fully. While we are here to help lighten your burden to focus on day to day operations, we are also here to help you understand the taxes you are paying.

    Determining If Your Business Is Due A Tax Break

    Making sure you are paying the right amount of tax can be stressful. You want to make sure you don’t get a letter demanding extra payments or a penalty notice, but on the other hand, you don’t want to pay more than you have to.

    • Office expenses
    • Phone expenses
    • Workspace rent
    • Travel costs
    • Professional journals or literature
    • Business equipment and machinery
    • Business vehicles

    Other allowances or reliefs you may be eligible for include;

    R&D (Research and Development) relief – Research in science or technology can be eligible for corporation tax relief in some cases.

    The Patent Box – This is for companies that keep their intellectual property in the UK and can be opted into for a lower corporation tax rate of 10%.

    Creative industry relief – Companies directly involved in producing and developing films, high-end TV, children’s TV, animation TV, video games, theatrical productions, orchestral concerts or museum or gallery exhibitions can be eligible.

    Relief on goodwill and other relevant assets – Your company may be eligible for relief if relevant assets and goodwill are purchased when buying a business with a qualifying IP and are included in the companies accounts.

    Disincorporation relief – If the company is dissolved and you become a limited partnership, sole trader or ordinary business partnership.

    Terminal losses – If your company stops trading.

    Capital losses – If a capital asset is sold or disposed of, making a loss.

    Property income losses – If your company earns property income.

    Trading losses – You may be able to offset them against profits in the same accounting period or carry it forward to the next account period.

    As you may imagine, there are many terms to be met to be eligible for any corporation tax relief, and we can help check through your accounts to target any that you may be eligible for.
