Key points
- From 1 April 2023 marginal relief was re-introduced after being abolished in 2015.
- How is marginal relief calculated?
- The rate of tax paid by companies is not related to the size of the company but to the size of its profits.
- From 1 April 2023 companies with augmented profits of £250 000 will pay tax on their taxable total profits at 25%; companies with augmented profits of £50 000 or less will pay tax at 19%. Companies with augmented profits between the two thresholds above will initially calculate their tax at the main rate of 25% but then will be allowed to deduct marginal relief to reduce their tax bill.
