Corporate tax planning

Why pay more corporation tax than you have to?

At Shorts we believe that, wherever possible, a company should not be burdened by excessive corporation tax liabilities.

Corporation tax represents a substantial part of your trading costs. The increased reporting obligations, robust investigation policies and harsher penalties for non-compliance mean that an undue amount of your time and resource can be taken up collecting revenue for the Government.

We offer a range of services to help you minimise your corporate tax exposure and relieve you of the administrative burden of complying with tax legislation. These include:

• Determining the most tax effective structure for your business
• Taking full advantage of tax opportunities and reliefs
• Extracting value from your business in the most effective way
• Achieving the optimum capital or revenue tax treatment
• Helping you plan for your business succession and reducing tax on disposals and maximising relief on acquisitions
• Making the most of tax opportunities specific to your industry and constantly looking for tax solutions that can be tailored to your individual needs
• Meeting the rigorous demands of compliance including corporation tax self assessment
• Acting on your behalf in discussions with the tax authorities

Efficient corporate tax planning can result in potentially significant improvements in your bottom line.
