Corporation Tax returns for Macmerry 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 Macmerry businesses: local facts
Macmerry is in the East Lothian council area, in Scotland. East Lothian has around 3,305 VAT- and PAYE-registered businesses, and 2,905 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 East Lothian are construction (465), professional, scientific and technical services (440) and wholesale and retail (360). If you work in construction in Macmerry, 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 16% of the local micro-business base.
East Lothian ranks 1044 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 professional, scientific and technical services (440 micro businesses in East 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. In wholesale and retail (360 micro businesses in East Lothian), 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.
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.
