Section 630: Company in administration: corporation tax rates
1971.This section sets out the corporation tax rates that are to be applied in the final year and the penultimate year of an administration period that concludes with the company’s dissolution. It is based on section 342A(2), (3) and (10) of ICTA.
1972.If the rates of corporation tax have been either fixed or proposed for the final year or the penultimate year then the proposed or fixed rates are to be used. Accordingly in the vast majority of cases the normal corporation tax rates apply.
1973.The section assists administrators seeking to finalise a company’s liability in advance of an anticipated dissolution date by setting out the rates to be used even in those rare cases where corporation tax rates have not been fixed at the time when the administrator wishes to make an assessment to tax.
