Your questions, answered
Corporation Tax is paid by all UK limited companies and other organisations like clubs or trade associations that generate profits.
If your business is a UK limited company, you need to ensure you’re managing your Corporation Tax obligations efficiently. Our expert team works with all types of businesseshelping them navigate their Corporation Tax returns with precision.
In addition to limited companies, organisations like trade associations and clubs that generate profits are also required to file for Corporation Tax. Our team is here to make this process smooth, keeping you fully compliant while maximising your opportunities for tax-saving.
Your Corporation Tax return is due 12 months after the end of your accounting period. However, tax payments are due 9 months and 1 day after your accounting period ends, and we ensure you stay compliant with these deadlines.
The rate depends on your company’s profits. Companies with profits up to £50,000 may qualify for small profits rate. For profits over £250,000, the full rate applies. Businesses with profits between these thresholds qualify for marginal relief.
R&D Tax Credits are designed to support innovation. If your business invests in research and development, you could claim R&D tax relief, reducing your Corporation Tax bill or receiving a cash rebate.
Our expert team will ensure you claim all applicable tax reliefs, such as R&D credits, capital allowances, and tax-efficient remuneration. We provide bespoke advice tailored to your business’s financial situation.
