More Tax Information

In the framework of UK tax legislation, marketing and advertising expenses, including SEO services, are normally tax deductible as long as they are "wholly and exclusively" for company reasons. This means that the entire amount spent on SEO can be deducted from your taxable income, lowering your total tax liability.

Using the example provided:

Monthly SEO costs £300.
Total cost for six months: £1,800.
If you spend £1,800 on SEO services over six months, the entire amount is tax deductible, as long as it fits the standards specified above.

Example of Tax Deduction Calculation
Total SEO cost over six months: £1,800.
Corporation Tax Rate: 19% (standard rate in the UK).
Tax savings = £1,800 multiplied by 19% is £342.
Tax savings = £1,800 x 19% = £342.

 

By utilising SEO services, not only can you achieve significant ROI and revenue generation, but you also benefit from a tax deduction, saving £342 on your tax bill.
