Mitigate Corp tax on windfall

Postby lander » Fri May 31, 2019 10:53 am

We are a SME consultancy. We have recently received a large bonus for successful advice given to a client. Is there any way of mitigating the large one off increase to our profits& corp tax for the year beside pension contributions?

We have already taken up the £40K annual pension contribution. (However, we did not use last years allowance. Can we carry forward any £40Ks from prior years?)

Unfortunately there's no magic pill that makes your tax go away. You had a good year and made a profit, be glad your company will only pay 19%/17% corporation tax.

Other than pension contributions, assuming your business doesn't require any investment in equipment you could buy a Tesla or two for 100% first year allowances (other ultra low emission vehicles are available) and effectively pay no tax on those profits.
