Corporation Tax

Corporation Tax in the UK is a mandatory tax on the profits of limited companies, foreign companies with UK branches, and certain unincorporated associations. It applies to income from trading activities, investments, and chargeable gains, such as selling business assets for a profit. Unlike personal income tax, Corporation Tax is not deducted at source, meaning businesses are responsible for calculating, reporting, and paying it directly to HMRC.

 

The UK Corporation Tax rate changed significantly in 2023. As of 1 April 2023, the main rate increased from 19% to 25% for businesses with profits exceeding £250,000. However, a small profits rate of 19% applies to businesses with profits of £50,000 or less, while those earning between £50,000 and £250,000 benefit from a tapered relief system. These changes ensure that smaller businesses continue to receive support while larger corporations contribute more proportionally.
