Corporation Tax is a fact of life for business. However, Corporation Tax need not be a headache for business owners, and our experienced team of tax advisers takes pride in helping businesses navigate all taxes.

This doesn’t just mean Corporation Tax compliance. By taking time to fully understand your business and its goals, our team will deliver bespoke, strategic tax advice that works for you.

How the Shorts team can help

Shorts will look at your Corporation Tax position with a wide lens, ensuring no opportunity is missed, and that any potential pitfalls are avoided. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Ensuring your Corporation Tax returns are fully compliant;
  • Identifying and maximising any applicable tax relief opportunities, e.g. R&D reliefs and Capital Allowances;
  • Implementing a tax effective business structure (for example to ring fence valuable assets);
  • Reducing your Corporation Tax exposure wherever possible;
  • Assisting with any HMRC inspections your business may be subject to;
  • Quarterly Instalment advice.

Corporation tax reliefs and allowances

There are several valuable incentives that are also available to businesses, many of which can significantly reduce Corporation Tax liabilities by way of reliefs or allowances.

The Shorts team has decades of experience assisting with Corporation Tax relief claims, maximising the value of reliefs, and ensuring claims are fully compliant.

  • Maximising tax relief on Property and Equipment through Capital Allowance claims
  • Research and development (R&D) tax credits
  • Patent box relief
  • Innovation grant funding

Our strategic tax advice for businesses extends beyond Corporation Tax, and includes specialist VAT advisory services, and tax efficient succession planning for exiting shareholders, including transitioning to employee ownership.

Our team also includes specialists in HMRC tax investigations – as your dedicated accountant, we will be here to help you manage any tax enquiries you might receive as part of our Tax Investigation Service.
