Corporation tax rate change

[mudskipper]

I'm sure this has been discussed, but can't find it.

How will the change in rate for corporation tax work?

Will it simply pro-rata my total profits and divide by number of days in my accounting year either side of 1st April, or is it based on invoice date?

Trying to work out whether it's worth holding off invoicing till next week!

Thanks

The lower CT rate will apply after April and the profit is apportioned across the total year then split by days and tax calculated on each portion. It's not applied to individual invoices as such.

Say you have a year of January to December and profit of £100, then £30 would be taxed at 21% (Jan to March) and £70 at 20% (April to December).

Ah, think I've found it.

So no benefit in invoicing after 1st April.

Assume this is a typo!

The profit would be taxed at 21% of £25 and at 20% on the remaining £75, giving an average rate of 20.25%

My mind was thinking £120 and my hands typed £100! Must remember there are 12 months in a year not 10!
