UK CORPORATION TAX CHAPTER 10

CHAPTER 10
INTEREST ON LATE PAID TAX AND REPAYMENTS
This chapter looks at interest and in particular it covers:
– interest on late paid tax and repayments;
– the effect of losses carried back.
In this chapter both FY 2013 and FY 2014 rates will apply

10.1

Introduction
Interest runs from the due date for payment to the actual date of payment of the tax where corporation tax is paid late. FA 2009, Sch 53
So, if tax due on 31 March 2015 is paid on 1 April 2015, interest runs from 31 March to 1 April and is charged for one day, as the payment was one day late.
This applies to all payments of corporation tax – whether the company pays by instalments or not. So small companies, which are required to pay their tax 9 months and 1 day after the end of the chargeable accounting period, will also be charged interest where they pay that tax late.
HMRC charges interest at an interest rate calculated as bank base rate plus 2.5%.
The current rate is 3%.
Repayments of overpaid tax receive repayment interest at an interest rate calculated as bank base rate minus 1%, with a minimum rate of 0.5%. The current rate is 0.5%. FA 2009, Sch 54

10.2

Interest on instalments
Problems are experienced particularly by larger companies, as tax due by instalments is based on the tax liability of the current year, yet the payments are made during the year. A company will therefore have the problem of estimating its tax bill, which could well change during the year, so what it pays may not reflect its actual liability. If it does not pay enough, interest on overdue tax will run.
If it pays too much, it will get repayment interest.
The rates of interest that apply to instalments are more generous. Interest is charged at base rate plus 1%, currently 1.5%.
Repayment interest is given at base rate minus 0.25% with a minimum rate of 0.5%.
These rates apply from the instalment due date until the normal due date for the accounting period, which is nine months and one day from the end of the period.
Following that date, if any tax remains unpaid or overpaid, the normal interest rates set out above will apply. This reflects the fact that a company makes instalment payments based on estimated figures, but should be more certain of its liability by the normal due date.

UK CORPORATION TAX CHAPTER 10

 Illustration 1
Guesswork Limited estimates its profits for the year ended 31 May 2014 to be £2 million when it pays its first instalment of corporation tax.
As this is a 12 month CAP each instalment will be 3/12 × 100% = 25%. The amount of tax due for the first instalment on 14.12.13 will therefore be:
(£2,000,000 × 10/12 × 23%)+(£2,000,000 × 2/12 × 21%) x 25%

£
453,333
113,333

At the beginning of March the company wins a major new contract which is likely to increase the company's predicted profit for the year to £2.2 million. For its second instalment due on 14.3.14 the company would be advised to make a payment as follows:(£2,200,000 × 10/12 × 23%)+(£2,200,000 × 2/12 × 21%)
× 50%
Less: Tax paid on 14.12.12

498,667
249,333
(113,333)
136,000

By the end of the chargeable accounting period the draft accounts reveal a taxable profit of £2.25 million. The company should therefore pay tax as follows on
14.6.14 in respect of its third instalment:
(£2,250,000 × 10/12 × 23%)+(£2,250,000 × 2/12 × 21%)
× 75%
Less: Tax paid so far

510,000
382,500
(249,333)
133,167

By the end of August the company has been audited and the profit originally anticipated has been reduced to £2.15 million. The company should therefore pay tax as follows on 14.9.14 in respect of its fourth instalment:
(£2,150,000 × 10/12 × 23%)+(£2,150,000 × 2/12 × 21%)
× 100%
Less: Tax paid so far

487,333
487,333
(382,500)
104,833

The company prepares its final corporation tax computations by the end of
February 2015, which show a final taxable profit of £2,190,000.
The company therefore pays tax as follows on 1.3.15:
(£2,190,000 × 10/12 × 23%)+(£2,190,000 × 2/12 × 21%)
Less: Tax paid by instalments

496,400
(487,333)
9,067

It is normal for a company to keep revising its estimated corporation tax liability in this way.

£(10,200) × 0.5% × 92/365
£9,067 × 1.5% × 168/365
Interest due to HMRC

HMRC will raise an interest demand which must be settled within 30 days. If it is settled late there will be interest charged on the interest.
HMRC have confirmed that they will accept payments of corporation tax at any time so if the company calculates and pays its corporation tax earlier this will stop the interest running.
Any interest received will be taxed as non trading profit (LR). Any interest paid by the company will be treated as interest paid on a non-trading loan and can be deducted from non trading profit (LR) income. CTA 2009, s.482(1)

10.3

Effect of carry backs
Where losses are carried back under s.37 CTA 2010 and result in a repayment of tax, then for calculating the interest on this repayment it is treated as tax repaid for the accounting period of the loss unless the repayment arises in respect of an accounting period that falls wholly within the twelve months prior to the one in which the loss arose.
If the carry back reduces an amount of unpaid tax, interest will cease to run from the due date of the period in which the loss was made for the amount of tax unpaid that the carry back negates. Apart from this it is ignored in calculating the

For carry back of non-trade deficits on loan relationships the calculation of interest on overdue or overpaid corporation tax is not affected except that in the case of underpayments the amount met by the carry back is treated as paid on the due date for the chargeable accounting period in which the deficit arose.
Otherwise it is treated as a repayment of corporation tax for the chargeable accounting period in which the deficit arose.

Trouble in Bohemia

...The story is all about Irene Adler’s cleverness and skill over Sherlock Holmes’ perfection in deception. Sherlock Holmes always spoke about her in a way of pride, and of course not jealousy. In Watson’s words, she was one of the few to be as clever as Sherlock Holmes himself. The main part of the story begins in Holmes’ apartment where one day a man with a foreign uniform appeared to see Holmes. In spite of his efforts to prove himself a second person, the king of Bohemia couldn’t hide his identity from the sharp eyes of Holmes. He then, without any redo, asked Holmes’ help on a five year old incident which relates his falling in love with the beautiful American actress, Miss Irene Adler. He just became king, when his family revealed about his relation with Irene Adler and rejected soon after on account of her not being a royal blood. And as a king he had no other option but to show respect to the tradition. But now what seems to bother him is Irene Adler’s apparent love for the king for which she is interfering in the king’s marriage with a princess of a neighboring country of Bohemia. And now she is up to tell the princess about her past relation with the king. It seems that the king still believes in her personality, when Holmes asked the king if it was about money. But it was not as the king explains that she did not want to see the king getting married with someone other than her. And she has the letters written by the king and their photograph taken together...

Okin's Argument Analysis

...provides an oversimplified and rigid argument of the concept of culture. (Okin 36) Hoing states that Okin fails to “vigorously interrogate the spurious excuse "my culture made me do it," …[rather] she sees the misogynist actions she's addressing as symptomatic of the ("foreign") cultures to which the actors are connected…”(Okin 36). What Okin should be doing, according to Hoing, is she should be trying to learn more information, rather than just scratching the surface. (Okin 36) For example, Hoing returns to Okin’s example of the French government allowing immigrants to enter into polygamous marriages. She refers to the same article cited by Okin, which seems to suggest that certain cases of polygamy may also serve to benefit the wifes intersts, other than strictly the male’s interests. (Okin 38) One particular instance saw 3 sister wives band together to threaten to leave their husband because he was bringing his fourth wife home in Dakar. Using this example, Hoing wishes to emphasize that there are certain scenarios, such as this one, where females can work to empower each other together better than in a monogamous setting, where they can isolated from other women. (Okin 38) As such Okin cannot say all examples of polygamy are suppression of female rights, because all cases are different and generalizing these situations risks people acknowledging the uniqueness of circumstance. Okin disagrees with this assertion, arguing that the only reason that they even banded together...

Disclosure in the Investment Advisory Sector

...Key disclosure documents- Financial Service Guide (FSG), Statement of Advice (SOA), Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) Disclosure requirements are designed to promote informed decision making by both advisers and investors. In the context of financial services disclosure documents, the aim is to enable investors to compare and make informed choices relating to financial products. Chapter 7 of the Corporations act 2001 institutes that a FSG must be given to a retail client who has been provided with a financial service while a SOA must be given to a retail client provided with personal advice and a PDS should be given to a retail client before he acquires the financial prouct. An FSG is required to be given to a client in the provision of general or personal financial product advice. The purpose of a FSG is to enable clients to make an informed decision as to whether to obtain financial services from a particular provider. The level of detail required in the FSG is what would reasonably be required by a person to empower him to make an informed decision. It is imperative that the FSG is worded and presented in a clear, concise and effective manner and must not contain information or statements that are misleading or deceptive S942B(6A). Whenever financial services are provided, financial service providers have an obligation to give retail client an FSG. Circumstances which does not warrant a FSG include – when a client is not a retail client, when there’s an absence...
