How to calculate the fractional payments of corporation tax?
When calculating the fractional payments of corporation tax, there are two methods to be used: Quota System and Basic System.
Quota system
The quota system is the one that applies by default to small and medium-sized enterprises,and takes as a reference the amount of the tax rate of the last closed year.
Having said that, in order to calculate the payments for the month of April, we will have to take as a reference the quota corresponding to the tax of two years ago (box 599), since the one of the previous year will not have been presented, since it must be presented during the first 20 calendar days of July.
The instalment payments of the months of October and December will vary,since as the Corporation Tax of the immediately previous year will have already been presented, this amount will have to be taken as a reference.
With the quota system the amount to be paid does not vary for the previous instalment payments made, nor for having borne withholdings on our income.
Basic system
The other system of calculation of fractional payment is the basic system, which is mandatory for all those large companies. It is also an applicable system for those companies that during the month of February, have opted for it, submitted the corresponding application through the census form 036.
The operation of the basic system is the same as when making a partial settlement of corporation tax. The ratio of income minus expenditure will have to be calculated and fixed in the profit and loss account.
