    Corporate Tax FAQs

    Is it necessary to use an accountant for corporation tax?

    Hiring an accountant is not essential, but doing so could save you a lot of resources. Preparing company tax returns and dealing with HM Revenue & Customs can take up a lot of time. An accountant would take these chores off your hands, allowing you to invest your valuable time elsewhere.

    In addition, a good accountant will have plenty of experience in the subject. There are a range of corporation tax reliefs available that many entitled businesses fail to claim. Accountants will ensure that your corporation tax bill is no higher than it should be.

    How can I account for corporation tax?

    Corporation tax is paid at the end of each financial year. It is accounted for by filling in a corporation tax return form. This process can be quite difficult and confusing, so it’s usually best to get a professional accountant for assistance.

    The main goal of tax accounting is to ensure that all corporation tax liabilities are fully met. Failure to meet a corporate tax liability can result in big fines, which should be avoided at all costs.

    What is an example of corporation tax?

    Corporations have many different taxes to pay at the end of each financial year. The biggest one is income tax, with HMRC collecting a percentage of a business’s profits. The tax rate varies depending on the profit levels of the business.

    Income tax isn’t the only thing that businesses are liable for. They may also have to pay tax for Payroll, Unemployment and Sales. It can be difficult to stay on top of all these different payments, but a dedicated accountancy team can help cover everything.

    When does the accounting period start and end?

    Your corporation tax accounting period lasts for 12 months and can be started at any time during the year. Many businesses prefer to line up their accounting year with the standard financial year, which starts and ends in April.
