    Can we get this cash?

    Although he said the rate of corporation tax for small firms would rise, the revenues raised would be recycled to "legitimate businesses investing for the future".

    Small firms will be able to claim a new 100% relief for new capital investment up to £50,000, claim a new tax credit for environmental investment, and the tax credit for research and development (R&D) will rise to 175%.
    I want some of this. Can I get it?

    Of course not.

    But I can!

              Do pay attention. It means that is you spend a lump of money in a way that fits the rules, you don't have to pay CT on it. You don't actually get any extra money up front. Nor do you have any more money when you've finished, unless your return on investment is very good indeed.

              So what can the average OMB buy for £50k that is directly and wholly necessary for his business, I wonder. A gold-encrusted laptop perhaps?

                I think Gordo means that if as a small business you are going to keep your profits in the business, expand it, take on staff etc etc, then I suppose the incentives can apply. Conversely he is saying that small ltds who take all the profits out as divvies (i.e. most of us) can get stuffed. So much for his "small companies are the engines of growth in the UK" speech. No acknowledgement that although many of us choose to take out profits, they are all course redistributed in various ways back into the economy, which is still a good thing. We still contribute to GDP one way or the other.

                But no, this is just the imposition of Gordo's will above all else. He's all heart isn't he?

                  Probably - but you need to spend it first.

                    Can I spend the £50K on .NET Assemblies developed by
                    my Plan B Ltd company?

                    My Plan B Ltd does not fall under IR35 and I can split the
                    returns against the 3 shareholders who watch daytime telly allday.

                    Is this possible?
