Case Study – How We Helped an SME Save £10,000 in Taxes

5/2/2025

 

​Case Study: How an E-Commerce Business Reduced Its Tax Bill by £10,000

One of our clients, a South London-based e-commerce business, was struggling with high tax payments. After a full tax review, our team implemented key strategies that led to significant savings. Here’s how we did it.

Challenges Faced:
​
  • The business wasn’t utilising all allowable deductions.
  • VAT compliance errors led to unnecessary overpayments.
  • Payroll structure wasn’t tax-efficient.

Solutions Implemented:
  • We identified unclaimed expenses worth £5,000.
  • Adjusted VAT filings to recover £3,000 in overpaid taxes.
  • Restructured director remuneration, saving an additional £2,000.

With these adjustments, the business successfully saved £10,000 over the tax year, improving overall cash flow.

If your business is overpaying on taxes, let UMC Accountants conduct a free tax review and help you maximise your savings.
