Corporation tax

Corporation tax rates are set for each Financial Year. A Financial Year runs from 1 April to the following 31 March.

If the accounting period of a company straddles the 31 March, the profits are apportioned on a time basis to each Financial Year.

The Northern Ireland Executive has committed to setting the rate of corporation tax at 12.5% when the Northern Ireland Executive demonstrates its finances are on a sustainable footing.

Year to 31.3.26:

Rate Profits band (£) Rate (%)
Small profits rate 0 - 50,000 19
Marginal rate 50,001 - 250,000 26.5
Main rate Over 250,000 25
Marginal relief fraction 3/200  

A wise man one said...

No person will make a great business who wants to do it all himself. A goal without a plan is just a wish. To accept good advice is but to increase one's own ability. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Advice is like snow; the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into the mind. Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.
