How corporation tax works

Limited companies pay corporation tax on their taxable profits. Taxable profit isn't quite the same as the profit in your accounts: some costs aren't allowed for tax (client entertaining, for example), and capital allowances replace depreciation on equipment and vehicles.

We start from your year-end accounts, make those adjustments and work out the tax. Then we file the CT600 return with HMRC and tell you exactly what to pay.

Two different deadlines

Corporation tax has a payment deadline and a filing deadline, and the payment comes first:

  • Pay — usually 9 months and 1 day after the end of your accounting period.
  • File the CT600 — 12 months after the end of your accounting period.

Interest runs on late payments, so we aim to have your figures ready well before the payment date.

Capital allowances

When your company buys equipment, machinery, computers or vans, capital allowances let you deduct the cost from profits for tax. Most small companies can deduct the full cost of qualifying equipment in the year it's bought. Cars are treated differently, based on their emissions. We'll claim the right allowance for each asset.

Taking money out of your company

As a director-shareholder you'll usually take a mix of salary and dividends. The best mix depends on your other income, National Insurance thresholds and your plans for the year. We review it with you before the year end, while there's still time to make changes.
