Every corporation tax return and VAT filing is handled accurately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions manufacturers, wholesalers and production directors ask about specialist accounting.
How is manufacturing stock valued for tax?
Stock is valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Work in progress includes materials, labour and overheads. Year-end valuation directly affects taxable profit and your tax liability.
Can manufacturers claim R&D tax credits?
Yes. Manufacturers developing new products, processes or materials can claim under the merged R&D scheme. The credit rate is 20% of qualifying expenditure. Pre-notification is required for first-time claimants.
What capital allowances apply to plant?
Companies can claim full expensing at 100% on new qualifying plant and machinery. The Annual Investment Allowance covers up to £1 million. Production equipment and CNC machines qualify for relief.
How is import VAT handled on materials?
Postponed VAT Accounting lets you account for import VAT on your return rather than paying at the border. Duty Deferment Accounts spread customs payments. Correct commodity codes ensure accurate rates.
How are exports treated for VAT?
Exports outside the UK are zero-rated for VAT. You must retain evidence including shipping documents and customs declarations. Zero-rating allows full recovery of input VAT on associated costs.
Can ABM support manufacturers nationwide?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants serves manufacturing and wholesale businesses across England using secure cloud-based platforms, delivering specialist accounting to producers, wholesalers and distributors.
