Corporate taxation refers to the tax that companies pay on their taxable profits, subject to the rules in their country.
For example, a company earns income from selling products or providing services. It also pays expenses such as salaries, rent and supplies. Tax rules determine which income and expenses count when the company calculates its taxable profits.
The company then uses the applicable tax rules and rates to work out how much tax it owes. Different countries have different rules, so companies must follow the requirements that apply to them.
Introduction to Corporate Tax: Understand why governments tax companies and how corporate tax forms part of business finances.
Company Profits and Taxable Income: Learn the difference between accounting profit and taxable profit. Explore why tax rules may treat some income and expenses differently.
Corporate Tax Rates: Understand how tax rates affect the amount of tax a company pays.
Taxable and Allowable Expenses: Learn why some business expenses may reduce taxable profits while others may not qualify under local rules.
Tax Calculations: Work through simple examples to see how companies calculate their tax liabilities.
Tax Returns and Reporting: Understand why companies prepare tax information, submit returns and meet reporting deadlines.
Tax Payments: Learn how companies manage tax payments and keep records of amounts paid.
Tax Planning: Explore how businesses organise their finances within the law to manage their tax responsibilities.
Tax Rules and Compliance: Understand why companies must keep accurate records and follow the tax laws that apply to them.
Consider a company that earns £100,000 in revenue and has £60,000 in expenses that qualify for tax purposes. Its taxable profit would be £40,000 before any other relevant tax adjustments.
If the applicable corporate tax rate were 20%, the tax on that profit would be £8,000.
This is a simple example. Actual calculations may involve tax adjustments, allowances, reliefs and other rules. The applicable tax rate also depends on the country and the company's circumstances.
