The ERNIflex solution is an HMRC-compliant solution used where using dormant companies that hold tax credits on their Corporation Tax (CT) accounts, typically these may have arisen from successful Research & Development (R&D) claims, we purchase and rebrand to your business, and then offset tax credits against your PAYE account.
ERNIflex and it's partners acquire the dormant company and hold it dormant until a suitable client company, like yours, is identified or comes forward.
If your company is a match, the dormant company is rebranded to reflect your company's identity.
The rebranded entity becomes the official employer of your labour force.
HMRC has statutory authority to offset an R & D (Research & Development) Tax Credit against ENIC ( Employer National Insurance Contributions) under the "cross-tax-sett-off-power", in the Finance Act 2008, section 130
The credit is used at a rate equivalent to the employers NIC (typically 15% of payroll) less a 25% guaranteed reduction.
This is a completely free service and requires no heavy lifting from your side as we do all the administrative work.
Your gross payroll per annum is over £1m
(No maximum as we currently have access to £1 billion + of tax credits)
Gross Approx NI Minimum Cost
Pay roll Contributions Reduction (25%)
£4m £400k £100k
£10m £ 1m £250k
£25m £2.5m £625k
£50m £5m £1.25m
£100m £10m £2.5m
NI contributions calculated for illustration at 10% but are typically anything between 8% and 11% of Gross payroll as a rule of thumb.

HMRC allows the offsetting of one tax duty against another.
This principle was established in the 1990's after the merger of Inland Revenue and Customs & Excise - which we now know as HMRC.
For instance, if a company is due a VAT refund but has a PAYE liability, HMRC can and do legally offset one against the other. This same principle under pins the BPR Solution

The practice has been recently confirmed as standard in HMRC's own community forums.
Our partners have been operating this since 2016.
As long as the business relationship is commercial in nature and all taxes are paid in full, HMRC have no objection to the offsetting of tax credits in this way.
