Tax Planning for Limited Companies, Lymington
Keep more of what your company earns, with a plan in place.
Most owner-managed limited companies pay more corporation tax than they need to, not through any fault of their own, but because no one has sat down and worked through the options with them. Stuart Green has been doing exactly that for businesses across Hampshire since 2005. Fixed fees, replies within one working day, and advice in plain English.
- Your corporation tax liability known well before the deadline
- Director salary and dividend structure reviewed for maximum efficiency
- Capital gains, R&D credits, and allowances applied where they apply
- A tax plan that fits your business, not a generic checklist
No long-term contract. If the service is not working after three months, you leave with tidy books, a clear tax position, and nothing owed.

Sound familiar?
Still not sure what your tax bill will be this year?
It is a common position for owner-managed limited companies: the year-end arrives, the accountant files the CT600, and you find out what you owe after the fact. There may have been reliefs available, a more efficient salary-dividend split, or timing decisions that would have made a difference. They just were not on the table in time.
- Corporation tax bill arrived with little warning and no room to plan around it
- Director salary and dividends set up years ago and never revisited since
- No one has reviewed whether R&D credits, capital allowances, or other reliefs apply to you
What a proper tax plan looks like
Good tax planning for a limited company is not complicated, but it does require someone who knows the landscape and checks in before year-end rather than after. That is the difference between planning and reporting.
- Your corporation tax position reviewed in advance, with time to act on it
- Director remuneration structure assessed annually against current rates and thresholds
- Reliefs, credits, and allowances identified and claimed where your company qualifies
- Fixed-fee pricing agreed upfront, so there are no surprises on your invoice either

What your tax planning service covers
Tax planning for limited companies goes well beyond filing the CT600. Here is what is included when you work with Supreme Consulting.
Corporation Tax Review and Planning
Your CT600 is filed accurately and on time, but the work starts well before that. Your tax position is reviewed ahead of your year-end so there is time to consider timing of expenditure, asset purchases, or profit extraction. You know what is coming and why.
Core serviceDirector Pay and Dividend Structuring
The salary-dividend mix that made sense when you started out may not be the most efficient structure today. Rates, thresholds, and personal allowances shift, and your remuneration should be reviewed against them each year. A small adjustment can make a meaningful difference to what you take home.
Annual review includedReliefs, Credits, and Capital Planning
R&D tax credits, capital allowances, entrepreneurs’ relief, and other HMRC reliefs are available to many owner-managed companies and routinely missed. Where they apply to your business, they will be identified and claimed correctly. Where they do not, you will be told that plainly too.

What sets this firm apart for limited company tax
There are plenty of accountants who will file your return. Fewer will plan around it with you.
Over Two Decades of Practical Experience
Stuart Green founded Supreme Consulting in 2005 and has worked directly with owner-managed limited companies ever since. The advice is grounded in what actually happens inside small businesses, not in theoretical frameworks. That distinction tends to matter when decisions carry financial consequences.
Fixed Fees, Agreed Upfront
Every engagement is scoped and priced before work begins. There are no hourly rates accruing in the background and no invoice that arrives larger than expected. You know what you are paying, what it covers, and when the work gets done.
Commercial Advice, Not Just Compliance
Filing your corporation tax return is the baseline. The more useful conversation is about how your company’s structure, timing, and expenditure decisions affect what you owe. That conversation happens proactively here, before year-end rather than after it.
Up and running in four straightforward steps
Switching accountants, or engaging one for the first time, is less involved than most people expect. Here is how it works.
A No-Obligation Discovery Call
You speak with Stuart directly. Bring your current situation, your questions, and any concerns about your existing tax position. The conversation is free and there is no commitment attached to it. You leave knowing whether there is a fit.
A Clear, Fixed-Fee Proposal
You receive a written proposal covering what is included, what it costs, and when everything happens. No vague scope, no hourly estimates. If the proposal does not work for you, you say so and nothing is owed.
Onboarding and Records Transfer
The transition from your previous accountant is handled without you needing to chase paperwork or chase anyone. Records are migrated to cloud accounting, prior year figures are reviewed, and any gaps are identified early.
Year-Round Tax Planning Partnership
With compliance running smoothly in the background, the focus shifts to forward planning. Your corporation tax position is reviewed ahead of year-end, your remuneration structure is assessed annually, and you are kept informed when something changes that affects you. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.

Things people usually ask before getting started
Can you actually reduce my corporation tax bill, or is that just a selling point?
In most cases, yes, there are legitimate options available that go unused simply because no one has reviewed them. Salary-dividend structuring, capital allowances, timing of expenditure, R&D credits where applicable, and pension contributions can all affect your liability. The size of any saving depends on your company’s circumstances, and you will be told honestly if your position is already well-optimised.
What does tax planning for a limited company actually cost?
All work is priced on a fixed-fee basis, scoped to your company’s size and requirements. A typical limited company engagement covers year-end accounts, the CT600, a confirmation statement, and annual tax planning review. The figure is agreed before any work begins. A free quote is available with no obligation.
My books are in a bit of a state. Is that a problem before starting?
It is a common starting point, not an obstacle. Catch-up bookkeeping is something the firm handles regularly, and the cost is quoted separately and clearly at the outset. Getting the records into order is part of the onboarding process, not a prerequisite for it.
Am I locked into a long-term contract?
No. There is no minimum term and no penalty for leaving. Most clients stay because the service is worth staying for, not because leaving is difficult. If circumstances change or the arrangement is not working, the transition away is handled cleanly and professionally.
What about R&D tax credits — do they apply to my company?
R&D relief applies more broadly than most directors realise. It is not limited to laboratories or technology companies. If your business has spent time and money developing or improving processes, products, or services and faced genuine technical uncertainty in doing so, there may be a claim worth making. This is assessed as part of the advisory relationship, and you will only be advised to claim if there is a genuine basis for it.
When will I know what my tax bill is going to be?
With active management accounts and a year-end review carried out before your accounting period closes, your corporation tax liability is typically known several months before the payment deadline. That gives you time to manage cash flow around it rather than scrambling to find the funds after the fact.
