Business Essentials – VAT

VAT (Value Added Tax) is added to most products and services sold by VAT registered businesses.  The main rate of VAT in the UK is currently 20%, although some goods and services are vatable at the reduced rate of 5% or are zero rated.  There are also goods and services that are exempt from VAT or fall outside of scope for VAT.

Business Essentials – Associated Companies

From April 2023 the Corporation Tax rules changed, with the headline being an increase in the main rate of Corporation Tax to 25%.  From this date, companies whose taxable profit was less then £50,000 would be subject to the small profit rate of 19% Corporation Tax. Companies with profits between £50,000 and £250,000 will pay a gradually increasing effective rate of taxation due to something known as marginal rate relief.
