You can reduce your corporation tax bill by claiming legitimate deductions such as allowable business expenses, capital allowances, research and development (R&D) tax credits, and by optimizing your salary-dividend mix if you’re a director.

Statutory accounts are legally required annual financial statements submitted to Companies House and HMRC.
