Please correct me if I'm worng in the following example which is my understanding of Corp Tax and Div Tax Credits.

Say my Company makes a taxable profit of £10,000.

The small co. CT on this is 19% so, my co. puts aside £1,900 for that liability. That leaves a net profit of £8,100.

If that profit were then to be distributed via dividends to shareholders then the company would alrady have paind all necessary taxes and the 10% dividend tax credit is rolled up in the Corp Tax. In other words the whole 8,100 is distributable with an assumed tax credit of £810 which does not need to be put aside as it was already included within the Corp Tax...

Good question Olf, I'd quite like to know the answer to that one aswell!

Would point out the corporation tax rate for small companies this year is 20%, was 19% in 2006.
