What is Corporation Tax?

Corporation tax is a mandatory tax on the profits of UK limited companies and other legal entities. Whether your company is trading, dormant, or receiving income from investments, you’re required to file annual returns and pay what you owe. HMRC’s rules can be complicated, and deadlines are strict late submissions, or inaccurate filings could lead to penalties. That’s why having expert corporation tax accountants is essential to protect your business from costly mistakes.
