WHAT IS CORPORATION TAX - CORPORATION TAX RATES 2005/6
Corporation tax is the tax on the profits of a limited company. The tax is determined at the end of each company's financial year and is due for payment to the Inland Revenue within 9 months of the year end.
For Corporation Tax, companies have to work out their own tax liability, pay their tax without prior assessment by the Inland Revenue and are liable to penalties if they do not deliver a return by the statutory filing date, normally 12 months after the end of the accounting period.

ACCOUNTING PERIOD
An accounting period cannot be more than 12 months. If a company prepares accounts for more than 12 months, the profits are apportioned between the first 12 months and the remainder. Non-resident companies may be subject to CT where they trade in the UK through a permanent establishment. Accounting period: A company incorporated in the UK is treated as UK resident. A non-UK incorporated company is treated as resident in the UK if its central management and control is exercised in the United Kingdom. The amounts of income and capital gains are basically determined by the tax rules that apply to individuals. For example, trading profits may be reduced by allowable expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively for the trade. However, companies are subject to many special rules.
CAPITAL GAINS
A company's capital gains are subject to CT at the normal rates. Companies continue to receive indexation relief on gains and do not receive taper relief. Capital gains may be offset by capital losses of the same accounting period or capital losses brought forward from previous periods. Roll-over relief is available, but not reinvestment relief. Companies are subject to different identification rules from individuals for disposals of shares and securities.
RATES OF TAX
The main rate of CT is 30%. This is charged on the whole of profits where they exceed £1,500,000, and in all cases for close investment-holding companies. The small companies rate of 19% is charged on the first £300,000 of profits where profits are between £50,000 and £1,500,000.
Profits between the lower and upper profit thresholds (£300,000-£1,500,000), are in effect charged at a marginal rate of tax of 32.75%. Until 31 March 2006, a company with taxable profits up to £50,000 was charged at 0% on the first £10,000 and an effective marginal rate of 23.75% on the next £40,000. Profits equal to dividends paid in the period to non-corporate shareholders were charged at 19%. The remaining profits are charged at the underlying rate. This is the average rate that would apply if all the profits were taxed at 0% on the first £10,000 and 23.75% on the next £40,000.
Where a company has associated companies, all the rate thresholds are divided by the number of associated companies plus one. For example, a company with three associated companies is taxed at 19% on profits between £12,500 (£50,000 divided by four) and £75,000 (£300,000 divided by four). Associated companies are broadly companies under common control.
COMPANY LOSSES
A company's trading losses can normally be set against: Income and gains of the same accounting period. Income and gains of the previous year. Trading profits from the same trade in future years.
DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND ADVANCE CORPORATION TAX (ACT)
Companies do not have to pay tax at the time they pay a dividend. Corporation tax is paid at the normal time on the company's taxable profits without any deduction for dividends paid. A shareholder receives the dividend with an accompanying tax credit equal to 10% of the dividend plus tax credit. The tax credit is equivalent to the basic rate of income tax on dividends. Companies pay no tax on dividends received. Companies that paid dividends before 6 April 1999 had to pay advance corporation tax (ACT) of one-quarter of the dividend. The ACT could usually be set against a company's CT liability. The maximum ACT that could be offset was an amount equal to 20% of the company's chargeable profits, and surplus ACT could be carried back against profits of up to the previous six years. Any surplus ACT at 5 April 1999 that was not relieved in this way may be carried forward to periods after 5 April 1999 and set against CT after deducting "shadow ACT". Shadow ACT is equal to one-quarter of any dividends paid in the period, ie the ACT that would have been paid if the dividend had been paid before 6April 1999.
