Tout savoir sur Corporation Tax Provision
📋Présentation+
Applies the 2025/26 corporation tax rates (19% up to £50,000, 25% above £250,000, marginal relief in between, thresholds divided by associated companies) to your taxable profit to give the year's tax charge. Large companies (broadly, taxable profits above £1.5m, also divided by associated companies) must pay in quarterly instalments rather than nine months after the year end.
💡 Bonnes pratiques
- Book the provision as soon as your management accounts give a reliable profit estimate — don't wait for the final CT600.
- The £1.5m large-company threshold is divided by the number of associated companies, so group structures can tip into instalments sooner than expected.
- Under- or over-estimating the provision affects your balance sheet current tax liability — revisit it each quarter.
🔢 Exemple concret
£800,000 taxable profit, no associated companies: taxed mostly at 25% main rate, giving a provision of roughly £198,500 — below the £1.5m large-company threshold, so payable nine months after the year end.
