Corporation Tax Returns and Compliance

Accurate. Timely. Fully compliant.
We handle Corporation Tax returns for UK businesses, group companies, and property SPVs. Our service goes beyond filing; we review your entire tax position to ensure you are paying no more than you should.

Capital Allowances Optimisation

R&D Tax Credits

Innovation deserves a reward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? Our FAQ section covers the answers to the most common queries about our services, from Business Tax Advisory & Compliance

How can I legally reduce my Corporation Tax bill without attracting HMRC scrutiny?

Businesses want to minimise tax but fear crossing compliance lines. Effective strategies include R&D tax credits, capital allowances, pension contributions, group relief, and careful timing of expenses. The key is proactive planning supported by robust documentation to withstand HMRC enquiries.

What are the risks if my company gets selected for an HMRC tax investigation?

HMRC can investigate any business at random or based on red flags. Risks include financial penalties, interest charges, reputational damage, and time-consuming disruption. Having compliant systems and professional representation ensures issues are resolved quickly and with minimal impact.

What tax deadlines do I need to plan for to avoid fines and interest?

Corporation Tax is due 9 months and 1 day after the year-end, while the CT600 return is due within 12 months. Missed deadlines trigger automatic penalties. Businesses must also keep track of VAT, PAYE, and quarterly instalments for larger companies.

How do changing UK tax rules (e.g., on dividends, capital allowances, or reliefs) affect my business planning?

Frequent legislative changes mean strategies that worked last year may no longer be tax-efficient today. Regular advisory reviews help businesses adapt to new reliefs, rates, and HMRC compliance trends – turning tax from a reactive burden into a proactive business advantage.
