Start strong with expert financial advice

Corporation tax compliance for UK businesses

Every limited company that is based in the UK is subject to corporation tax on their profits. This means that you must submit an annual corporation tax return to HMRC within 12 months of the year-end date.

But even before that, you must register your company with HMRC, so it knows you are liable for corporation tax. You must also calculate how much profit your company makes for each accounting period and how much corporation tax is payable on those profits. And did we mention, there are strict penalties for filing late returns and interest is charged on tax paid late!
