A Surrey-based limited company with £280,000 in annual profit was facing a corporation tax bill exceeding £70,000. Through proactive year end planning, P10 identified pension contribution opportunities, capital expenditure timing, and remuneration adjustments that delivered a £64,000 corporation tax saving while strengthening the director's retirement position.
Devenports, a growing estate agency business, needed joined-up financial structure to support expansion from one office to three. P10 delivered corporation tax planning, profit extraction strategy, and financial systems that enabled the directors to scale operations while maintaining control and tax efficiency throughout the growth phase.
An 8-figure revenue group approached P10 ahead of international expansion. We restructured the business to optimise corporation tax exposure across jurisdictions, implemented tax-efficient profit extraction for multiple shareholders, and delivered the financial architecture needed to support cross-border operations and sustained growth.
Step 1: We review your year end position. We examine your profit forecasts, current tax exposure and business structure to understand where you stand. You receive a clear picture of your corporation tax liability and what can still be changed before your year end.
Step 2: We identify the opportunities. We present specific actions you can take now—pension contributions, capital expenditure, remuneration adjustments—with the exact tax saving attached to each option. You decide what makes commercial sense for your business.
Step 3: We implement before the deadline. We coordinate with pension providers, process payroll changes and ensure qualifying expenditure is recorded correctly. You meet your year end deadline with confidence, knowing every legitimate planning opportunity has been used.
Profitable limited companies often pay more corporation tax than necessary because the right planning conversations happen too late. At P10 Financial, we work with directors before year end to identify opportunities that reduce your tax bill — not after the deadline has passed. Whether you're approaching the £50,000 profit threshold or managing a business with profits exceeding £250,000, proactive corporation tax planning ensures you keep more of what you've earned.
Director pension contributions, salary and dividend planning, and capital expenditure decisions all affect your corporation tax position. We help owner-managed businesses structure remuneration efficiently and extract value in the most tax-effective way. Our year end reviews identify opportunities to reduce your exposure to the 25% main rate or 26.5% marginal rate before the deadline passes — giving you commercially useful advice that goes beyond annual compliance.
Limited company directors looking for proactive corporation tax planning need advice that fits their business structure and growth ambitions. Whether you're based in Weybridge, Twickenham or across Surrey, P10 Financial delivers joined-up tax and accountancy services that help you reduce corporation tax exposure while building the financial structure to scale. We work with businesses who want an accountant that thinks ahead — not one that only looks back at what's already happened.
Most accountants in Weybridge and accountants in Twickenham will file your corporation tax return after the year has closed. P10 works differently. We conduct proactive year end reviews in the months before your accounting period ends — when there's still time to reduce your bill through pension contributions, remuneration planning and capital allowances.
Our clients choose P10 because they want commercially useful advice, not just annual compliance. We help you identify opportunities to reduce corporation tax before the deadline passes, structure director remuneration to balance salary, dividends and pension efficiently, and plan capital expenditure to maximise relief under the Annual Investment Allowance and Full Expensing rules.
If you're a limited company director paying the 25% main rate or 26.5% marginal rate and want to reduce your corporation tax exposure legally and strategically, this page is for you. Our clients typically include:
- Limited company directors with profits above £50,000 seeking proactive year end planning
- Owner-managed businesses approaching or exceeding £250,000 profit where higher rates apply
- Directors looking to extract value tax-efficiently through pension, salary and dividend planning
- Business owners who feel their current accountant is reactive rather than proactive
