For businesses that are liable for Corporation Tax, changes came in on 1st April 2023 that could make a big difference to your tax bill for the current and future tax years.
Previously, the rate of Corporation Tax was set at 19% on company profits, but now a tiered system has been introduced which means that the rate paid will depend on the profits.
- Businesses with profits below £50,000 will remain at 19% Corporation Tax
- Businesses with profits above £250,000 will now pay 25% Corporation Tax
- Businesses with profits between £50,000 and £250,000 will now pay a marginal rate of Corporation Tax, which will be between these 2 rates and increase proportionately inline with the increase in profit between these 2 amounts.
The amount of tax you pay will also be affected if you have associated companies, whether in the UK or abroad, as these bands of £50,000 and £250,000 are shared between associated companies, meaning each company would pay a higher rate of tax more quickly.
