How much does it actually save to buy something through your Ltd?

What if one is on Flat Rate Scheme? Is the only real saving is the Higher Rate (if applicable) and CT?

If you buying lots of things then it may not be worth being on the Flat scheme anyway.

Don't let it stop you trying. Shove everything you can think of through the books. Let the accountant calm you down later. It’s a war remember.

Agree. After all, what you need depends on what area of R&D you're researching. If you believe there's a gap in the market for Dora games and wish to check out the competition, then it's a legitimate purchase.
