这确实是一个紧缩的时代。去年年底,政府债务达到了9500亿英镑,占GDP的68%。这是一个令人叹为观止的人物,整个英国的企业家完全意识到,至少在接下来的五年中,税收将继续攀升。

随着增值税的上升计划以及对救济和津贴的进一步攻击,每个自尊心的企业主都应重新评估其选择权,以确保其业务尽可能征税。

1)公司税

‘削减公司税背后的真正驱动力是表明英国正在开放业务。28%的人曾经很有竞争力,但现在的平均国际占25%。

目前,有三个乐队属于公司。For smaller firms (with profits up to £300,000), there’s a 1 per cent cut to 20 per cent, whereas for those in the top band (more than £1.5 million profits) corporation tax will be reduced by 1 per cent each year until it reaches 24 per cent. For those in between, which pay somewhere between the two rates, there’s a complex ‘plate-spinning game’ to be played, says King. They can try and force down their profits into the lower band by boosting directors’ pay, but the extra income tax and national insurance to be paid on that may outweigh the corporation tax saving.

2)增值税

可以说,明年最大的税收变更将是1月4日的增值税上升至20%。对于小型非VAT注册公司,在更改之前进行购买将是明智的举动。However, don’t be tempted to try to squeeze invoices back into 2010 when they are really for 2011. HMRC will charge you 30 per cent of the invoice for ‘accidental mistakes’, and can impose greater fines up to 100 per cent, depending on the scale of the infraction.

3)年度投资津贴

投资津贴将在2012年4月减少至25,000英镑。直到那时,公司,无论其规模如何,都可以减轻每年最高100,000英镑的工厂和机械的税收减免。因此,即使对于基于办公室的业务,新的全节目和跳舞也值得考虑。

4)国家保险

政府已宣布为东南部和东部地区以外的新业务为期三年的国民保险(NI)假期。公司将能够避免为前十名员工提供5,000英镑的NI,实际上是每家业务50,000英镑。目前正在最终确定的地理边界将于今年秋天确认。

5)削减坏账

随着这么多公司驶向隔离墙,坏账已成为企业的规范。出于税收目的,可以注销这些,尽管您必须规定谁未能付款以及多少。‘General provisions will not reduce your tax bill, but in cases where you name a bad debtor and say “there’s no chance of getting this money”, you can make a saving,’ says Chas Roy-Chowdhury, head of tax at the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.
