Tax Compliance

UK resident companies are subject to UK income tax on their worldwide income, while non-UK resident companies are liable for UK tax on specific business activities, such as trading profits from UK land development, rental income, and property transactions. While tax treaties and dividend exemptions create a more localised corporate tax system, businesses must still navigate complex compliance requirements.

The Finance Act of 2021 introduced key incentives for corporate capital investment, including enhanced loss relief provisions and tax breaks to support innovation. However, the corporate tax rate increased from 19% to 25% as of April 1, 2023, making compliance more crucial than ever. A reduced 19% rate remains available for businesses with profits under £50,000.

Penalties for Non-Compliance with Corporate Tax Rules

 

 

Failing to meet HMRC’s corporate tax deadlines and obligations can lead to substantial penalties. If errors occur—whether accidental or deliberate—they must be corrected promptly to mitigate fines. Businesses that fail to notify HMRC of their tax obligations within 12 months after the accounting period may also face penalties, calculated as a percentage of lost revenue:

 

  • Non-deliberate errors: 30% of the tax due

 

  • Deliberate but not concealed: 70% of the tax due

 

  • Deliberate and concealed: 100% of the tax due
