Taking advantage of the available tax breaks can be a very effective way for small firms to boost their finances. However, many business owners do not know what options are out there. These are three tax breaks to look into:

Employment Allowance

This is available to any small firm that employs staff and pays their wages via PAYE. It has the potential to reduce your bill for Class 1 National Insurance by up to £4,000 a year, so it is worth finding out if you are eligible for it. You can do so by speaking to a quality small business accountant in South Yorkshire or whatever region you are based in.

Small Business Rates Relief

Should the building that your business operates out of have a rateable value below £15,000, it will render you eligible for Small Business Rates Relief. Furthermore, if the rateable value of the business property is under £12,000, you will be exempt from business rates payments entirely.

Annual Investment Allowance

This tax relief can be claimed on items you have invested in for the sake of your business – for example, pieces of machinery needed to improve your operations – with the value of these deducted from pre-tax profits. It cannot be claimed on items that you have been gifted or on property such as company cars, but it is worth investigating.
