Corporation tax return for micro companies in Redditch

Corporation Tax returns for Redditch 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.
