Understanding Corporate Tax (2021)

🏛️ Standard CIT Rate

For the 2021 tax year (ending between 1 April 2020 and 31 March 2021), the standard Corporate Income Tax (CIT) rate for resident companies was 28%.

📉 Deductions & Allowances

Companies can deduct legitimate operating expenses incurred in the production of income.

Capital Allowances: Wear and tear on assets used for trade.
Donations: Section 18A donations are deductible (limited to 10% of taxable income).
Assessed Losses: Can be carried forward to offset future taxable income (2021 rules allowed full offset against taxable income, subject to trade continuity).

📅 Provisional Tax

Companies must pay two provisional tax payments during the year (6 months and year-end) to avoid large liabilities on assessment. A third optional top-up payment can be made 6 months after year-end (7 months if Feb year-end).

Disclaimer: This calculator uses the 2021 tax year rules (28% Corporate Rate). Specific complex scenarios (Small Business Corporations, Micro Businesses, Special Economic Zones) are not covered in this standard calculator. Always consult a qualified tax practitioner.
