Corporate Tax

• We offer expert advice on securing Research and Development (R&D) tax credits for your business. As a key incentive for innovation and progress, R&D tax credits can significantly enhance your company’s cash flow, allowing you to reinvest in your business’s future growth.
• R&D tax credits can apply to a wide variety of industries and sectors, not just those traditionally associated with ‘research and development.’ If your business is pushing boundaries, solving problems, and advancing your field, there may be significant tax benefits waiting for you.
• The potential value of these claims can be significant, but the intricacies of compliance are equally substantial. Misinterpretation or misapplication of the rules can lead to contentious issues with HMRC. With our expertise, we can help clarify these complexities and optimise your claim, ensuring you maximise the benefits while maintaining compliance.

• The scheme incentivises companies to invest in innovative research and create patented technologies, thereby promoting a culture of innovation and progress within the business.

• Patent Box allows companies to apply a lower Corporation Tax rate (10%) to profits earned from their patented inventions, leading to significant tax savings.
• Accurate implementation and management of Patent Box claims require expert advice to ensure compliance and maximise benefits.

• The tax savings from LRR can be significant, thereby improving a company’s cash flow and freeing up funds for further investment.
• The scheme promotes the sustainable use of land and helps companies play a part in reducing environmental harm and fostering greener, more sustainable development.
• LRR applies to a broad range of remediation activities, including the removal of harmful substances, treatment of harmful organisms, and dealing with long-term pollution issues.

We offer expert guidance on three key investment schemes in the UK that can greatly boost your business’s capital raising capabilities:

• Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) Services: Our advisors are experts in helping businesses navigate the EIS. This scheme encourages investment in small, high-risk companies by offering substantial tax breaks to investors. We help ensure you’re set up to attract this investment and comply with all necessary rules and regulations.
• Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) Services: The SEIS is similar to EIS, but it’s specifically designed for startups. Our experienced team can guide your start-up through the process of qualifying for SEIS, increasing your attractiveness to investors and helping you take full advantage of the tax incentives on offer.
• Venture Capital Trusts (VCTs) Advisory: Our VCT advisory service helps your business become an attractive investment opportunity for these publicly listed funds. VCTs provide private equity capital, and in return, offer investors significant tax breaks. Our role is to guide your business through the process, ensuring you meet all compliance requirements and maximise potential investment.

We offer assistance with every corporation tax-related matter, such as establishing and structuring a UK presence, profit extraction, business structure, employee compensations, exit strategies, cross-border transactions and withholding taxes.

In addition, we guide our Multinational businesses clients through complexities of Transfer Pricing, were they must set prices for goods, services, and intellectual property traded between their international entities. These prices, known as transfer prices, are subject to specific tax rules.

We provide advice on transfer pricing strategies, documentation requirements, and compliance with international regulations.

• Controlled Foreign Companies (CFC) Rules: CFC rules can apply to UK businesses with overseas subsidiaries, potentially leading to additional tax charges. Our team can help you understand whether CFC rules apply to your business and, if so, how to mitigate potential tax liabilities.
• International Employee Mobility: If you have employees working overseas or if you are a foreign business with employees in the UK, understanding the tax implications is crucial. We can provide advice on issues such as overseas payroll, tax equalisation, and social security contributions.
