That is, the company income tax, which was introduced in 1947. 1970 issued by the Income and Corporation Taxes Act and the 1979 Capital Gains Tax Act is the main legislation on taxation. The taxpayers are resident and non-resident companies.
Corporations include entities (whether limited or unlimited) registered under the Companies Act and other Acts, as well as unincorporated organizations approved by the Ministry of Commerce, except unit trusts and partnerships. A partnership member's share of partnership profits is also subject to corporation tax as part of the total taxable profits for the corresponding accounting period.
Resident company: a company whose central control and management is in the UK. The location of the board of directors is the basic criterion for determining residence, and a company is resident in the UK irrespective of where it is incorporated and where the business carries out its physical activities. Resident companies are taxed on their worldwide income.
Non-resident company: a company (including a foreign company) that is not a resident company. A non-resident company is taxed only on its UK source income, often determined by reference to a double tax treaty between the two parties.
The scope of taxable income for corporation tax is similar to the six categories of taxable income for personal income tax. The amount of taxable income is calculated by adding the total taxable profits of the company for each accounting period (including the income for that period under the different headings) plus capital gains, and deducting allowable deductions for losses, expenses and investments. Foreign-source income is included in total profits whether or not it is repatriated to the UK, but the income of foreign subsidiaries is not attributable to the UK parent company until the profits are actually distributed. A single rate of corporation tax is charged on the resulting net total profits using proportional rates. The rates are published annually.
Foreign source income of resident companies is exempt from double taxation, either under a double tax treaty or through unilateral relief. Corporation tax is chargeable on profits derived by a non-resident company from carrying on business in the UK through a branch or agent. Other UK-sourced income is taxed at the basic rate, except where protected by a double tax treaty.
Corporation tax also provides for accelerated depreciation and an incentive to defer taxation of capital gains when a taxpayer reinvests the sales proceeds of certain business assets in another asset, in order to fulfill the government's policy of encouraging capital investment and promoting balanced regional economic development.
