FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the UK Corporation Tax rate?
The main rate is 25% for companies with profits over £250,000. A small profits rate of 19% applies to profits up to £50,000, with marginal relief for profits between £50,000 and £250,000.
When must I register for VAT?
You must register when your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in any rolling 12-month period, or you expect to exceed it in the next 30 days alone. Voluntary registration is available below this threshold.
What is Making Tax Digital (MTD)?
MTD requires businesses to keep digital records and submit VAT returns using HMRC-compatible software. MTD for Income Tax Self Assessment starts for sole traders and landlords with income over £50,000 from April 2026.
How do R&D tax credits work?
From April 2024, the merged R&D scheme provides a 20% above-the-line credit (taxable). Loss-making R&D-intensive companies can claim a higher rate. Claims cover staff costs, consumables, software, and subcontracted R&D.
What are my PAYE obligations?
Employers must deduct income tax and National Insurance through PAYE, report to HMRC in real time (RTI), provide payslips, issue P60s, and handle auto-enrolment pensions. Monthly or quarterly payments to HMRC are required.
Can I outsource my bookkeeping?
Yes — we offer fully outsourced bookkeeping using Xero, QuickBooks, or FreeAgent. This includes bank reconciliation, invoicing, expense tracking, monthly management accounts, and year-end preparation for your accountant.

UK Strategic Advisory

Institutional UK Finance

Architecting financial systems for the world's most rigorous transparency standards. From HMRC Making Tax Digital (MTD) to Companies House governance—we engineer UK compliance.

The UK Friction

Transparency at a Price

London remains a global financial hub, but the compliance burden of "Making Tax Digital" (MTD) and the heightened scrutiny of CT600 filings create a strategic bottleneck for growing firms. Scaling in the UK requires a financial engine that doesn't just "do accounts," but builds a fortress of data integrity that satisfies both HMRC and Companies House standards instantly.

"UK compliance is binary: you are either fully compliant, or you are at risk."
