Corporation Tax returns for Chester 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 Chester businesses: local facts
Chester is in the Cheshire West and Chester council area, in the North West region. Cheshire West and Chester has around 13,845 VAT- and PAYE-registered businesses, and 12,240 of them, about 88%, have fewer than ten employees (ONS UK Business Counts, 2026). That is the group the micro-entity rules were written for.
The largest groups of micro businesses in Cheshire West and Chester are professional, scientific and technical services (2,535), wholesale and retail (1,560) and construction (1,450). If you work in professional, scientific and technical services in Chester, 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. That puts professional, scientific and technical services at 21% of the local micro-business base.
Zooming in, the ONS neighbourhood area around Chester (Cheshire West and Chester 034) has 1,445 VAT- or PAYE-registered businesses, and 1,205 of them (83%) are micro businesses.
Cheshire West and Chester ranks 234 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 88% is in line with the 89% average across them. In wholesale and retail (1,560 micro businesses in Cheshire West and Chester), 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. In construction (1,450 micro businesses in Cheshire West and Chester), Construction Industry Scheme deductions, retentions and stage payments can distort profit, so we reconcile your CIS statements before the accounts are prepared.
