Corporation Tax returns for Bournemouth micro companies

Corporation Tax is charged on a limited company’s taxable profit, not its accounting profit. The main rate is 25%, the small profits rate is 19% for profits up to £50,000, and profits between £50,000 and £250,000 pay the main rate less marginal relief. Getting the adjustments right, such as adding back depreciation, claiming capital allowances and removing disallowable expenses, is what keeps the bill accurate.

What is included

  • A tax computation built from your accounts
  • Capital allowances on equipment and vehicles
  • A review of director expenses, loan accounts and benefits
  • Trading losses claimed where they arise
  • Return filed with HMRC and a payment reference sent to you

Corporation Tax returns for small companies for Bournemouth businesses: local facts

Bournemouth is in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole council area, in the South West region. In Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, 14,110 of the 15,800 VAT- and PAYE-registered businesses in the 2026 ONS count have fewer than ten employees, around 89%. If you run a company in Bournemouth, you are in good company.

The largest groups of micro businesses in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole are construction (2,710), professional, scientific and technical services (2,125) and wholesale and retail (1,960). If you work in construction in Bournemouth, Construction Industry Scheme deductions, retentions and stage payments can distort profit, so we reconcile your CIS statements before the accounts are prepared. That puts construction at 19% of the local micro-business base.

Zooming in, the ONS neighbourhood area around Bournemouth (Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole 038) has 825 VAT- or PAYE-registered businesses, and 665 of them (81%) are micro businesses.

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole ranks 180 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 89% is in line with the 89% average across them. In professional, scientific and technical services (2,125 micro businesses in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole), fee income, work in progress at the year end and how directors are paid are the key decisions, so we plan these with you before the accounts are finalised. In wholesale and retail (1,960 micro businesses in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole), closing stock and the VAT treatment of different product lines are the usual pressure points, so we value stock carefully and check your VAT records.
