Frequently Asked Questions
The most effective legal strategies include: maximising all allowable business expenses; using the Annual Investment Allowance (currently £1 million) to immediately deduct the full cost of qualifying plant and machinery; making employer pension contributions (which are deductible before Corporation Tax); claiming R&D Tax Credits for qualifying innovation activity; using the salary-dividend split to reduce National Insurance; claiming Business Asset Disposal Relief on disposals of qualifying business assets; and timing revenue recognition and capital expenditure strategically around your year end.
R&D Tax Credits allow companies to reduce their Corporation Tax liability or receive a cash payment for qualifying research and development expenditure. Under the merged R&D scheme (from April 2024), the enhanced deduction is 186% of qualifying costs, with a 20% credit rate (net benefit of approximately 16.2p per £1 of qualifying expenditure for profitable companies). Qualifying expenditure includes staff costs, subcontractor costs, consumables, and software used in qualifying R&D activity. Many more businesses qualify than realise, including technology, engineering, food and beverage, and professional services companies.
The Annual Investment Allowance allows businesses to deduct 100% of the cost of qualifying plant and machinery in the year of purchase, up to the AIA limit (currently £1 million per year). This provides an immediate Corporation Tax deduction rather than the slower writing-down allowances that would otherwise apply. Strategic timing of capital expenditure purchasing before or after your year-end can significantly affect your tax bill. We advise on the optimal timing as part of your tax planning.
Business Asset Disposal Relief (formerly Entrepreneurs’ Relief) reduces Capital Gains Tax on the sale of qualifying business assets to 10% (for gains up to a £1 million lifetime limit) rather than the standard CGT rate of 20%. BADR applies to: the sale of all or part of a trading business that you own; the sale of shares in your own company (if you hold at least 5% of shares and voting rights for at least 2 years); and certain associated disposals. Planning the timing and structure of a business sale well in advance of completion can significantly affect whether BADR applies.
No. Tax planning is entirely legal and expected. Tax avoidance refers to arrangements that technically comply with the letter of the law but contravene its intent, and HMRC has extensive powers (including the GAAR — General Anti-Abuse Rule) to challenge these. Tax evasion (not declaring income or falsifying records) is illegal. Everything we recommend sits clearly within the category of lawful tax planning by using reliefs that HMRC expects businesses to claim.
