ACCOUNTING MADE SIMPLE: CORPORATION TAX
Do you own a limited company in the UK? Let's keep things simple!
What is the Corporation Tax?
Corporation Tax is a tax, that limited companies pay on their taxable profits.
How is it calculated?
Your company’s taxable profit is generally calculated by taking its income and deducting allowable business expenses.
For example, these may include cost of sales, certain office costs, business insurance, and accountancy fees and more.
But remember, not every business expense is tax-deductible, and some expenses have special rules.
How much is Corporation Tax?
• 19% for profits within the Small Profits Rate threshold (under £50k)
• 25% for profits subject to the Main Rate (over £250k)
If your profits fall between £50,000 and £250,000, Marginal Relief may apply.
Our tip: Keep accurate records of your income and business expenses. This helps you calculate your taxable profit correctly.

Yesterday, we celebrated 5 years since Golden Leaf Financial Services Ltd was incorporated! 🎉

When I look back at the journey so far, I feel incredibly proud of how far this little business has come.

What started as an idea has grown into something much more meaningful. There have been challenges, lessons, long days, difficult decisions and plenty of moments that have pushed me outside my comfort zone. But there have also been so many reasons to keep going and so much to be grateful for.

One of the best parts of this journey has been the people I've met along the way.

To every client who has trusted me with their business finances, every person I've worked with, every professional I've connected with and everyone who has recommended my services or supported my business in any way- thank you. 💛
