Course Details

Since April 2023, we’ve been living in a world of multiple corporation tax rates.  The rate of corporation tax a company pays depends on its level of profits, but the presence of ‘associated companies’ could see companies tipped into the higher rate or marginal relief much earlier than expected.  Attending this session will help you understand what is and isn’t an associated company, and make sure you are asking your clients the right questions in order to identify them. 

In this session Emma Rawson will cover the following topics;

 

  • Why are associated companies so important?
  • What is (and isn’t) an associated company?
  • Identifying companies under common control.
  • Substantial commercial interdependence – what is it, and when is it important?
  • How do the rules differ in other parts of the CT system?

 

By attending this session, you will learn about why associated companies are so important, and how identify them.  You will also be able to better identify the questions you need to ask your clients to ensure they pay the correct rate of corporation tax.

 

This session will be of most interest to small and medium sized companies and those advising them.
