Tax advantages for those starting up in business

Introduction

New businesses can benefit from a variety of tax allowances and reliefs which could cut their tax bill.

They include capital allowances for investment in equipment and premises, tax relief and credits for spending on research and development and stamp duty relief in disadvantaged areas.

But you won't automatically receive these tax advantages. You need to find out what you can claim and then apply for them.

This guide gives an overview of the schemes available and tells you where you can find out more.
