First Accounting Period- Corporation Tax

It is very important to register for Corporation tax in the first year of trade if you start trading after your company setup date because this will decide how many tax returns you need to submit if your first year of accounting is more than one year. HMRC has given two clear example to explain the issue.   Example 1 (If registered for Corporation tax service before accounting reference date) Company set up date is 11 May 2014, started trading at 22 July 2014 , register for Corporation Tax 26 August 2014 and accounting reference date is 31 May 2015.

But in case of disposal of property capital gains or losses will be shared in the ownership ratio. No inheritance tax in case of gift of property between spouses if married couple have same domicile (Uk or Non UK).  Form 17 is required to be filled to HMRC if rental income is shared by married couple within 60 days. If the property is owned by single spouse or unmarried couple then Form 17 requirement does not apply. Lets see an example, A couple own a property which they let o...
