Whether you are a small business or a large corporation, our scalable services ensure you get the best value for your investment, with pricing tailored to your needs.

How to handle 'Prior Year Adjustments' (PYA)

If an error is discovered in a previous year’s filed accounts, we must assess if it is “material.” If so, we perform a PYA, which involves restating the comparative figures in the current year’s accounts to ensure long-term data integrity, rather than just fixing it in the current period.

Can carry back a trading loss to get a tax refund?

If a company makes a loss in the current accounting period, you can often “carry back” that loss to the previous 12-month period. This can offset the profits from that previous year, resulting in a refund of Corporation Tax already paid.

Automation & technology

We utilise the latest Payroll technology to enhance accuracy, efficiency, and reporting capabilities, reducing the risk of errors and increasing the speed of service.

    “Since moving to Prysm, we’re now able to ask specific questions so we can better understand our projected sales and far better control our employment costs, which have reduced month-on-month from 42% to 32% of turnover.”

    Jay PatelLegare

    “Our previous accountant didn’t have our accounts in good shapes and I didn’t know where we were for the accounts and numbers. I now know where we are with accounts and it has enabled me to make some difficult yet necessary decisions on the business such as disposing sites that are not making enough profits and focusing time and effort on projects that do bring in profits”

          R&D Tax Relief

          By

          Corporate Tax Relief

          RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT TAX RELIEF

          • ACCA regulated accountancy firm
          • Significant R&D experience
          • No upfront fee

          R&D tax relief (also known as R&D tax credit) helps innovative businesses undertaking R&D related activity claim a generous corporation tax deduction or a cash refund from HMRC.

          R&D tax relief is a tax incentive from the UK Government designed to encourage companies to invest in R&D.

          The scheme has been around since 2000 and last year over 76,000 SMEs claimed almost £4.4bn in tax relief.

          Prysm Financial’s specialist R&D tax team provides an end-to-end service to existing clients, new businesses and our network of professional introducers.

          CLAIMING R&D TAX RELIEF

          The R&D tax landscape has changed significantly in recent years. For accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2024, the SME and RDEC schemes have been blended to create the R&D merged scheme.

          The new merged scheme rewards innovative businesses for R&D projects that seek to make an advance in science or technology (including mathematical advances). This might include improving an existing product or service or inventing a new one. An advance can also result in a new discovery that increases our overall knowledge in a field of science or technology.

          While the Merged Scheme offers a net benefit of 15%–16.2%, loss-making ‘R&D Intensive’ businesses may still qualify for a higher rate of relief.

          MERGED R&D SCHEME – WORKED EXAMPLE

          Assuming your company has qualifying R&D expenditure of £100,000, the gross R&D tax credit available under the merged scheme would be £20,000 (20% of qualifying costs).

          If your company pays the main corporation tax rate of 25%, the tax payable on the credit is £5,000 (25% of £20,000). After deducting this tax, the net benefit to your company is:

          £20,000 (credit) – £5,000 (tax) = £15,000

          This means the effective tax benefit is 15% of your qualifying expenditure (£15,000 ÷ £100,000).

          If your company falls under the small profits corporation tax rate of 19%, the tax on the credit reduces to £3,800 (19% of £20,000), increasing the net benefit to:

          £20,000 – £3,800 = £16,200

          This results in an effective tax benefit of 16.2% of qualifying expenditure.
