How We Calculated This

  1. Determine Net Profit: Calculate the company's taxable profits (revenue minus tax-deductible expenses).
  2. Identify Associated Companies: Divide the tax thresholds (£50,000 and £250,000) equally by the number of associated companies.
  3. Apply Small Profits Rate: Apply 19% Corporation Tax if profits are below the lower limit.
  4. Apply Main Rate: Apply 25% Corporation Tax if profits are above the upper limit.
  5. Apply Marginal Relief: If profit is between the thresholds, apply a sliding-scale formula to determine the blended rate.

Real-World Examples

Example 1: Company Profit of £40,000

Small business with profits under the £50,000 threshold (no associated companies).

Taxable Profit: £40,000
Corporation Tax Rate: 19%

Tax Due: £40,000 * 19% = £7,600
Retained Earnings: £32,400
Example 2: Company Profit of £150,000 (Marginal Relief)

Profit falls between the £50,000 and £250,000 thresholds, qualifying for Marginal Relief.

Taxable Profit: £150,000
Tax at 25% Main Rate: £37,500

Marginal Relief Calculation:
(£250,000 - £150,000) * (3/200) = £1,500

Net Corporation Tax: £37,500 - £1,500 = £36,000
Effective Tax Rate: 24%
