Corporation Tax returns for Linlithgow 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 Linlithgow businesses: local facts
Linlithgow is in the West Lothian council area, in Scotland. ONS figures for 2026 count 4,870 VAT- or PAYE-registered businesses in West Lothian, and 4,275 of them (88%) employ fewer than ten people. Many are small enough to use the micro-entity regime.
The largest groups of micro businesses in West Lothian are wholesale and retail (680), construction (635) and professional, scientific and technical services (575). For wholesale and retail companies in Linlithgow, 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. That puts wholesale and retail at 16% of the local micro-business base.
West Lothian ranks 825 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 construction (635 micro businesses in West Lothian), Construction Industry Scheme deductions, retentions and stage payments can distort profit, so we reconcile your CIS statements before the accounts are prepared. In professional, scientific and technical services (575 micro businesses in West Lothian), 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.
Scottish companies are registered with Companies House in the same way as English ones and the filing deadlines are identical. Scottish income tax bands apply to salary, but dividends and Corporation Tax follow UK rules.
