What are the Corporation Tax allowances?

There are some Corporation Tax allowances that can be deducted when calculating out how much tax you owe. These allowable expenses have to be cost incurred for the exclusive purpose of running your business.

Examples of Corporation Tax allowable expenses you may be able to claim include mileage, accommodation, and training. The expenses must be necessary to the business and ‘wholly and exclusively’ for business purposes, else it must be treated as benefit. For example, costs such as entertaining clients aren’t allowed for Corporation Tax allowance.

Purchases of business assets that you keep to use in your business, such as equipment, machinery, and vehicles, are not allowed to be deducted from your company’s income when calculating your taxable profit. In these instances, you may be able to claim capital allowances.

What are the Corporation Tax reliefs?

There are Corporation Tax reliefs available that you can potentially use to minimise your Corporation Tax bill.

  • Research & Development (R&D) Relief: you may be able to claim this if your company works on innovative projects in science and technology.
  • The Patent Box: on profits earned from patented inventions and certain other innovations you may be able to claim a lower rate of Corporation Tax
  • Creative industry tax reliefs: Companies involved in the creative industries (film, television, video gaming, etc) may be able to claim a larger deduction when calculating taxable profits.
  • Disincorporation Relief: a relief that allows a company to transfer assets to its shareholders (for instance when it changes from a limited company to a sole trader or partnership) without the company incurring a Corporation Tax charge on the disposal of those assets.
  • Terminal, capital and property income losses, and trading losses: you could be eligible if you make a loss from trading, the sale or disposal of a capital asset or on property income
  • Marginal Relief may also be available if your company had profits between £300,000 and £1.5 million that were from before 1 April 2015
