cash savings
All good points, but worth mentioning R&D tax credits for those who aren't aware - a fantastic opportunity to get back PAYE taxes already paid. This can often be quite significant and relatively quick and easy if you have a clear case for qualification.
I know most of us are aware already but I'm continuously surprised as to how many companies aren't.

cashflow
... and why dont we talk about other products and services that can help ease cashflow rather than just tax tricks.... applications in the cloud can save you significant cash over traditional PC-based systems.
Take Sage for example which still struggles with the concept of online accounting, versus Brightpearl (just rebranded from Pearl). Their online offering for accounting 'software as a service' only costs £12 per user with no upfront capex whatsoever, single click import from Sage and nice intuitive performance dashboards. They go way beyond accounting and offer a full 'mini-ERP for SME's', but thats for another day or for you to do your own research on.
They've just secured VC funding from the smart folks at Eden Ventures and Notion Capital, and with Doug Richard (ex BBC Dragon) also on the board, it seems they're going to be around for some time to come.
Where else can we see innovative services break down traditional pricing structures to generate real cash savings for small (and not so small) businesses?
Anyone else throw some ideas in to the pot.....?

Helping Cash flow in hard times
This was a very timely reminder! I discovered that a recently inherited (and currently struggling) client had fairly substantial overlap profits. By changing the year end, not only has he already benefitted from a £2000 plus tax rebate but the loss created also saved him from a possible large repayment of tax credits. A result most welcome at this juncture.
