Corporation Tax
Corporation tax is paid by businesses in the UK, and is calculated on their annual profits, in a similar way to self assessment tax for individuals. Unlike individuals, companies don’t receive any kind of tax-free allowance, and therefore all profits are taxable. However, there are a number of expenses and deductions that can be claimed to reduce your bill.
If you are operating as a limited company you will need to calculate the taxable profits on each accounting period, and then calculate corporation tax payable thereon. This is carried out by submitting a corporation tax return to HMRC along with supporting statutory accounts and tax computations. The corporation tax liability is payable within 9 months and 1 day after the end of the accounting period.
From 1 April 2023, there is no longer a single Corporation Tax rate for non-ring fence profits (22/23 there was a single main rate of 19%).
At the Spring Budget 2021, the government announced that the Corporation Tax main rate for non-ring fence profits would increase to 25% for profits above £250,000.
A small profits rate of 19% was also announced for companies with profits of £50,000 or less.
Companies with profits between £50,000 and £250,000 will pay tax at the main rate, reduced by a marginal relief. This provides a gradual increase in the effective Corporation Tax rate.
If you are a limited company, calculating corporate tax can be time-consuming - let us do it for you.
You must pay Corporation tax on profits from doing business as:
a limited company
any foreign company with a UK branch or office
a club, co-operative or other unincorporated association, eg a community group or sports club
Strict penalties are chargeable if you do not file the corporation tax return within the deadlines, similarly if you don’t pay your corporation tax bill on time, interest will accrue - this can prove to be a real burden for businesses.
