Simplifying corporation tax

The Office for Tax Simplification has published their recommendations on simplifying the corporation tax computation.

This report sets out some significant steps towards creating a 21st-century corporation tax system in the UK, responding to calls from businesses of all sizes to make the calculation of corporation tax simpler, with fewer changes and more time to plan. The report looks at four broad themes:

1. simpler tax for smaller companies
2. aligning the tax rules more closely with accounting rules where appropriate
3. simplifying tax relief for capital investment
4. a range of further issues affecting the largest companies.

We will keep you informed of developments in this area.
