Corporation Tax in 2026/27: what hasn’t changed
The Budget on 28 October 2026 kept Corporation Tax rates the same. Here’s how they work.
The rates
| Profits up to £50,000 | 19% |
|---|---|
| Profits £50,000 to £250,000 | 25% less marginal relief |
| Profits above £250,000 | 25% |
The Budget on 28 October 2026 kept the Corporate Tax Roadmap, so the main rate stays at no more than 25% for this Parliament. The limits are shared with associated companies and reduced for a short accounting period.
Equipment
From 1 January 2027 companies can claim 50% of the cost of most new equipment in the first year, and from April 2027 the main writing-down allowance falls to 12%. Most small companies still claim the full cost straight away through the Annual Investment Allowance.
Paying less, legitimately
Every business cost you claim lowers the bill. So do the director’s salary, pension contributions paid by the company, and the Annual Investment Allowance on equipment. We look for these when we prepare your accounts.
