Would you like to pay less corporation tax?

Tens of thousands of businesses aren’t claiming government backed R&D tax credits that give tax savings to companies that pay staff to solve problems.

Business aren’t always aware of the funding that is available to them…

Companies who develop or improve products or processes might be able to claim R&D tax credits giving tax repayments from HMRC of c.£25 for every £100 they spend on such development.

Don’t think you do much R&D? The definition of R&D for tax purposes isn’t as onerous as you might think.
You might already be claiming R&D tax credits without specialist help but are you claiming your full entitlement?
Successful claims are often worth over £20k.
HMRC are encouraging more companies to claim.
You have two years to claim for an accounting period.

Companies that derive profits from patents could pay only 10% corporation tax on those profits – this is nearly half the normal rate.

Do you have patentable inventions that could unlock these tax savings?

Shorts’ Innovation Taxes Group (ITG) have saved hundreds of local businesses to save in excess of £5m of tax in recent years and will explain to you how businesses can claim R&D tax credits and Patent Box tax reliefs.

The Sheffield Chamber of Commerce, Shorts ITG and Professional Energy Purchasing Ltd are pleased to invite you to a breakfast seminar to hear how the above areas can benefit your business and how you can access them.
