Limited liability companies
In the case of a limited liability company, as it is a separate legal entity, if it
generates income, it will be subject to tax. Consequently, the tax charge tax
must be reflected in the statement of profit or loss as an expense and any tax
liabilities outstanding must be reflected in the statement of financial position.
This is normally referred to as
'income tax'
as it is a tax charge on the income
of a company. In the UK, this was traditionally referred to as corporation tax, but
is now more commonly referred to as income tax. It should not be confused with
the income tax paid by individual employees on their salary and other earnings.
The charge for income tax is based upon the level of profits earned by the
company and the tax rates in place at the time of calculation.
Company year-ends and tax year-ends rarely match. Therefore companies
must estimate their income tax liability at the end of each accounting period and
record an appropriate estimate of the liability likely to be paid.
