Running a limited company can unlock smart tax savings but only if you follow what HMRC rules. We focus on clear, compliant tax planning that truly protects you and your business. No shady schemes. No pushing the limits. Just practical advice that puts more money in your company and in your pocket too.
Here’s how we make that happen.
Claim Every Allowable Expense
It’s surprising how many directors end up paying too much tax simply because they miss expenses they could have claimed.
We help you claim everything your company is entitled to, such as:
- Office costs and home office use
- Business travel and mileage
- Software and subscriptions
- Professional fees
- Equipment and tools
- Marketing and advertising
- Staff costs and training
We keep a close watch on your bookkeeping and ask the right questions so nothing slips through. If something fits HMRC’s rules, we’ll highlight it. If not, we’ll tell you straight.
This approach means you pay less Corporation Tax while staying compliant and you’re protected if HMRC ever comes calling.
Capital Allowances on Equipment and Assets
Buying equipment? Don’t just file the invoice and forget it. You can claim capital allowances and lower your tax bill.
What can you claim for? Things like:
- Computers and laptops
- Office furniture
- Vans and certain vehicles
- Machinery and specialist tools
We’ll check if you can use the Annual Investment Allowance or another relief. Claiming correctly means you reduce your taxable profit for the year.
We’ll also help with timing. Sometimes it’s best to buy before your year end to get the relief; other times, it’s smarter to wait. We’ll lay out the numbers so you can choose based on facts, not guesses.
Pension Contributions Through Your Limited Company
Pension contributions are one of the most tax-efficient ways to take money out of your company.
When your company pays into your pension as an employer contribution:
- The company receives Corporation Tax relief
- You do not pay Income Tax on the contribution
- You do not pay National Insurance on it
We’ll work out how much your company can contribute, based on profits and your personal tax situation. We’ll also make sure you stay within the annual allowance, so there are no unwanted surprises.
Research and Development Tax Relief
If you’re working on new products, systems, or software, R&D tax relief could be an option.
It’s not just for big tech companies, lots of UK limited companies can qualify: tech, engineering, product design, and more.
If eligible, your company could:
We’ll check if your work meets HMRC’s criteria. If it does, we’ll handle the paperwork and ensure your claim is thorough and accurate. We don’t inflate figures or cut corners. Accuracy and compliance come first.
Strategic Dividend Planning
Dividends are a popular way for directors to take income, but timing is crucial.
We consider:
- Your company profits
- Corporation Tax position
- Your personal tax bands
- The Dividend Allowance
- Your wider household income
By planning dividends at the right time, we can help you:
- Stay within lower tax bands where possible
- Avoid unnecessary higher rate tax
- Keep cash flow healthy inside the company
We also ensure dividends are only paid from retained profits and that the paperwork is correct. That way, you’re protected if HMRC checks your records.
