Companies holding patents or with exclusive rights to use patents have the opportunity to significantly reduce their corporate tax burden on products or services covered by those patent(s) when the UK Government’s new Patent Box regime comes into effect on 1 April 2013.
Although your company may not currently hold or use any patents, don’t assume that Patent Box won’t apply to you. You may have products, processes, formulas or licences, for which a patent application can be made. The tax benefits of the new scheme are attractive and may allow companies to reduce their Corporation tax rate to 10%.
Companies should take action now to understand how they might benefit from the regime and what business changes might be advantageous prior to the rules coming into effect.
Speakers from Ward Williams Chartered Accountants and Withers & Rogers Patent & Trade Mark Attorneys will explain the tax benefits of the new Patent Box regime, how Patent Box can benefit you, the types of products and processes that can be patented, procedure, timescales and actions to be taken now.
Venue: HSBC, The Old Warehouse, 37a Church Street, Weybridge, Surrey, KT13 8DG
Time/date: Thursday 13th September 2012, 8.30am – 9.30am (registration and refreshments from 8am. Questions and networking from 9.30 - 10am)
