Reducing Corporation Tax and Obtaining Credits

Devon, England, May 18, 2010 -- And if your company has made, or is making, a loss, did you know you could be entitled to cash back from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) in the form of corporation tax credits?

A number of valuable relief and credit schemes are available but many businesses remain unaware either of their existence or of the full potential benefits.

These schemes include:

• Annual investment allowance (AIA)
• Loss relief
• Green technology relief
• Zero emissions goods vehicles allowance
• Research and development (R&D) allowance
• Land remediation allowance

For loss making companies, corporation tax credits provide an immediate cash alternative to the creation of losses from the reliefs mentioned above for R&D, land remediation and green technology.

A credit is obtained by surrendering the losses that relate to the particular expenditure. Your company receives a cash tax repayment of up to 24.5% of the expenditure incurred, depending on factors such as the type of expenditure and extent of losses.

There are numerous opportunities to reduce your corporation tax bill. As with any activity relating to tax and tax planning, it is vital to use the best professional advice you can find and consult your advisor before making any business decisions so that you make the most of the opportunities available.
