Corporation tax can represent a substantial outflow of funds from your business. A company not properly attuned to its tax environment may never truly be able to increase shareholder value, however agile, efficient and progressive it may be in other areas. Increased corporation tax and regulatory reporting obligations add to the drain on management time, while a more investigative approach by the tax authorities can result in harsher penalties for non-compliance. Put all these factors together and the tax burden on your business can be much larger than you may like.
