Corporation Tax Basics Explained

What Is Corporation Tax?

Corporation tax is paid on the profits your limited company makes. This includes:

  • Trading profits.
  • Investment income.
  • Chargeable gains (e.g., selling assets).

Current Corporation Tax Rates (2025)

  • Small profits rate: 19% (profits up to £50,000).
  • Main rate: 25% (profits above £250,000).
  • Marginal relief: Applies between £50,000 and £250,000, tapering the effective rate.

Deadlines You Need to Know

  • File your return: Within 12 months of your year-end.
  • Pay your tax: 9 months and 1 day after year-end.

Missed deadlines mean HMRC penalties, something no business wants.

Why Manchester Businesses Need Extra Care with Corporation Tax

Manchester’s economy is booming, but city centre businesses face unique challenges:

  • High overheads – Rent, wages, and business rates are higher in M1 and surrounding areas.
  • Startup growth – Many new businesses in Ancoats and the Northern Quarter cross the VAT threshold and hit corporation tax earlier than expected.
  • SME pressure – Smaller firms must manage tight margins while staying compliant.

That’s why having trusted accountants in Manchester makes all the difference.

How Our Calculator Fits into Tax Planning

Our calculator gives you a starting point. But the real savings come from proactive planning.

At Accounting Solutions Manchester, we don’t just tell you your number, we help you:

  • Claim every allowance available.
  • Plan dividends and salaries tax-efficiently.
  • Improve cash flow forecasting.
  • Use R&D tax credits if you qualify.
