Corporation Tax

Understanding Corporate Tax

UK Corporation Tax is a tax on the profits of companies based in the UK or with operations in the UK. It covers earnings from trading, investments, and selling assets. Companies need to submit tax returns and pay their taxes on time, with rates depending on how much profit they make and what industry they are in. 

Whether you’re a small startup or a large corporation, trust HHM to provide proactive advice and comprehensive support to ensure your tax affairs are in order, allowing you to focus on driving your business forward.

Understanding Corporation Tax: Compliance, Rates, and Tax Efficiency for Businesses and Foreign Companies

Corporation Tax is a tax levied on the profits of UK-resident companies and certain foreign companies with UK-based operations. It applies to limited companies, foreign companies with branches in the UK, and some unincorporated associations like clubs and societies. The tax rate varies annually, with smaller profits subject to a lower rate and larger profits facing a higher rate. Taxable profits encompass trading profits, investments, and capital gains.

HHM offers a range of services to assist businesses in managing their Corporation Tax obligations effectively. Our team of experts can help companies determine their optimal accounting periods for tax purposes, ensuring alignment with their financial accounting periods. We specialise in calculating taxable profits by meticulously deducting allowable expenses and deductions from total income, thus maximising tax efficiency while maintaining full compliance with Corporation Tax regulations.

Additionally, HHM provides comprehensive support for filing Corporation Tax returns and making payments within specified deadlines. Our services extend to identifying opportunities for tax credits, incentives, and reliefs, such as research and development (R&D) relief and capital allowances, which can significantly reduce a company’s tax liability.

At HHM, we understand the complexities of Corporation Tax and stay updated on changing rules and rates to offer the most informed guidance. Our tax planning services enable businesses to legally minimise their tax liability while ensuring full compliance.
