    ACCA · Question 19 · Corporation tax liabilities

    SCENARIO: Titanium Forge Ltd (TFL) is a heavy manufacturing company producing industrial valves. For the year ended 31 March 2024, TFL had augmented profits of £2.2 million. TFL owns 100% of the ordinary share capital of IronWorks Ltd, a UK resident company. During the year, TFL imported £500,000 of specialized machinery from Germany and purchased £1.2 million of new heavy plant machinery in the UK.

    QUESTION: Given TFL's augmented profits of £2.2 million, when is the first quarterly instalment payment of Corporation Tax due for the year ended 31 March 2024?

    Answer options:

    A.

    14 October 2023

    B.

    14 January 2024

    C.

    1 January 2025

    D.

    14 July 2024

    How to approach this question

    Determine if the company is 'large' (profits > £1.5m divided by number of related 51% group companies). TFL has 1 related company, so limit is £750k. £2.2m > £750k, so it is large. First instalment is 14th day of 7th month.

    Full Answer

    A.14 October 2023✓ Correct
    TFL is a large company because its augmented profits (£2.2m) exceed the threshold (£1.5m / 2 group companies = £750k). Large companies pay tax in four quarterly instalments. The first is due on the 14th day of the 7th month of the accounting period. For a year starting 1 April 2023, the 7th month is October, so 14 October 2023.

    Common mistakes

    Forgetting to divide the £1.5m threshold by the number of group companies, or miscalculating the 7th month.
