Corporation Tax

                Corporation Tax

You must pay Corporation Tax on profits from doing business as:
  • a limited company
  • any foreign company with a UK branch or office
  • a club, co-operative or other unincorporated association, eg a community group or sports club
You don’t get a bill for Corporation Tax. There are specific things you must do to work out, pay and report your tax.
  • Register for Corporation Tax when you start doing business or restart a dormant business.
  • Keep accounting records and prepare a Company Tax Return to work out how much Corporation Tax to pay.
  • Pay Corporation Tax or report if you have nothing to pay by your deadline - this is usually 9 months and 1 day after the end of your ‘accounting period’.
  • File your Company Tax Return by your deadline - this is usually 12 months after the end of your accounting period.
Your accounting period is normally the same 12 months as the financial year covered by your annual accounts.
Profits you pay on Corporation Tax
Taxable profits for Corporation Tax include the money your company or association makes from:
  • doing business (‘trading profits’)
  • investments
  • selling assets for more than they cost (‘chargeable gains’)
If your company is based in the UK, it pays Corporation Tax on all its profits from the UK and abroad.
If your company isn’t based in the UK but has an office or branch here, it only pays Corporation Tax on profits from its UK activities.

The company must take Income Tax and National Insurance contributions from your salary payments and pay these to HMRC, along with employers’ National Insurance contributions.
If you or one of your employees makes personal use of something that belongs to the business, you must report it as a benefit and pay any tax due.

You can’t count dividends as business costs when you work out your Corporation Tax.
Your company mustn’t pay out more in dividends than its available profits from current and previous financial years.

To pay a dividend, you must:

keep minutes of the meeting, even if you’re the only director
Dividend paperwork
For each dividend payment the company makes, you must write up a dividend voucher showing the: date, company name, names of the shareholders being paid a dividend, amount of the dividend.
You must give a copy of the voucher to recipients of the dividend and keep a copy for your company’s records.
Tax on dividends
Your company doesn’t need to pay tax on dividend payments. But shareholders may have to pay Income Tax if they’re over £5,000.
For dividends above £5000, one will pay at a basic rate of 7.5% for dividend up to £32,000 and a higher rate for dividend up to £43,000.

Director Responsibilities

         UK Limited Company - Director Responsibilities


If you have set up a limited company, there are a number of duties you will have for e.g. legal and financial responsibilities, if you are a director of a company. The Companies Act of 2006 outlines some of the duties of a company director
Duties of limited company directors
Duty to act within your powers as a company director
Duty to promote the success of your company
Duty to exercise independent judgment
Duty to exercise reasonable care, skill and diligence
Duty to avoid conflicts of interest

Duty not to accept benefits from third parties
Duty to declare interest in proposed transaction or arrangement with the company

Financial Responsibilities

As a company director, you have several accounting-related obligations. Although you should employ a business accountant to perform all (or most) of these tasks, you are ultimately responsible to ensure that all tasks are carried out:
Keep good accounting records from which accounts can be prepared which give a true and fair representation of the financial position of the company.
You must submit accurate company accounts, and file them on time with Companies House.
You must submit your corporation tax return (Form CT600) to HMRC and pay any tax liabilities due.
You must deal with the correct payment of staff (and yourself) – including the deduction of income tax and national insurance contributions, where they apply.
You must trade solvently, ensuring that you are able to meet the financial liabilities of your business. Legal responsibilities of company directors
You are responsible for completing and filing a Confirmation Statement or annual statement every year as it was previously called.
To produce and maintain a register of Persons with Significant Control (also known as a “PSC register”). The PSC Register must be filed, as part of the Confirmation Statement, with Companies House annually.
To submit forms to Companies House to notify of any changes in the particulars of company director(s) or company secretary.
Notify Companies House if you change your registered company address.

You must always act in the interests of the company shareholders. This means that the directors cannot enrich themselves in a way that damages the company.

Director and Shareholder Information

Limited Company Directors and Shareholders
Directors:
A director of a limited company is responsible for the management of the company. The shareholders appoint directors to see to the day to day running of the business.
Directors often own shares in the company they work for:
When two or three people start a company together, they often see themselves as partners in the business. Usually, they will allocate shares to themselves and appoint themselves as directors. However, they should always be aware of the different roles of directors and shareholders.
Many large companies issue shares to directors and key employees, as part of a bonus package. Some companies insist that their directors buy shares in the companies they manage. Share ownership is intended to align directors’ interests with that of their employers; the other shareholders.
Who can be a director?
Anyone can be a director subject to the following:
*They must be at least 16 years of age.
*They are not disqualified by a Court Order.
*They are not an undischarged bankrupt.
It is also worth noting that:
*A director does not need to be a UK resident
*A corporate body can be a director, but a company requires at least one human director.
Information about directors
Companies House needs the following information about each director:
* First Name
* Last name
* Director’s service address, if different from home address.
If the director is a corporate body, the following information is required:
*First and Last name of authorised person
*Name of Company or organisation
* Registration Number
*Place registered
*And, if it is resident in a Non-EEA member state:
o            The law that governs it.
o            The Legal Form of organisation.

1-mother’s maiden name- the first 3 letters
2-father’s first name-the first 3 letters
3-Colour of eyes-the first 3 letters
4-telephone number-the last 3 digits
5-town of birth-the first 3 letters
6-National insurance number- the last 3 digits
7-Passport number-the last 3 digits
Director’s Service address
Companies House will publish an address for a director, on their web site. Publication enables official notices and correspondence to be sent to directors. However, publication means that a director’s address is no longer private. In order to allow directors to retain their privacy, Companies House will also accept a service address. It is the service address that will be published. We offer directors a FREE service address, if their Company is using our Registered Service.
Who is a Shareholders?
Companies are jointly owned by their shareholders, who are also known as members. A shareholder’s stake in a company is represented by the number of shares (units of ownership) he owns.
Unless sanctions apply, almost anyone has the legal capacity to be a shareholder in a UK registered limited company.
Individuals, trusts, partnerships, other corporate bodies and Governments, wherever resident, can be shareholders.
Subscribers The first shareholders are the subscribers to the company’s memorandum of association. They agree to buy the number of shares allocated to them.
There are 3 ways to become a shareholder in a company:
By subscription to the Memorandum of Association when forming a new company.
By gift or purchase of shares from another shareholder.
By subscription to a new issue of shares by the company.
The information required:
First Name
Last name
Full postal address
To deal with the absence of signatures in the online process the 3 authentication questions same as above can be selected.
