    Reducing Corp Tax

    My corp tax for the next year is going to be around £20k. Any suggestions on how I can reduce it?

          Apart from that, can the business invest the money elsewhere to reduce Corp Tax?

            Not usually - any other investments are balance sheet movements rather than anything that effects the actual profit.

              What if you make an investment in something and lose out? Just wondering like.

                Usually a capital loss, which can then only be set off against capital gains.

                You could buy a low emission car or van.

                  How about starting a company overseas that provides loans to UK based employees ? Bet no one has thought of that !!

                    I am intrigued as to why someone with 23000 post would be asking such a question or is this the first time you have strayed into accounting/legal from general
