Corporation tax applies to all UK-based limited companies, mandating them to pay taxes on their profits. Even non-UK based limited companies are subject to corporation tax if they generate income within the UK.

 

The initial step involves registering your company with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) using the official forms. This registration ensures that your liability for corporation tax is recognized.

Navigating Corporation Tax: Compliance, Deadlines, and Strategic Planning

For companies liable for corporation tax, a crucial task is determining the profits earned during each accounting period and the corresponding amount of corporation tax due on these earnings.

Reporting this information to HMRC entails completing a corporation tax return form and submitting supporting documents, such as accounts and tax computations.

Adhering to deadlines is paramount, as late filings incur substantial penalties, and late tax payments are subject to interest charges. These deadlines hinge on your company’s annual accounting date.
