What Is Corporate Tax?

Corporate tax (also called corporation tax or company tax) is a direct tax levied on the net profits of a company or corporation. It is calculated on taxable profit — which is revenue minus allowable business expenses and deductions — rather than on total turnover.

Most countries apply a single flat corporate tax rate, though some differentiate between large companies and SMEs. A growing number of countries have also adopted a minimum effective corporate tax rate under the OECD Pillar Two global minimum tax agreement (15% for multinationals with revenue over €750M).

📊
Taxable Profit ≠ Accounting Profit Tax rules for depreciation, capital allowances, and disallowable expenses often differ from accounting standards. Taxable profit may be higher or lower than your P&L profit.
🔬
R&D Relief Can Significantly Reduce Tax Many countries offer enhanced deductions for R&D expenditure — the UK's R&D relief, the US R&D credit, and Australia's R&D tax incentive can reduce effective rates substantially.
🌐
OECD 15% Global Minimum Tax From 2024, large multinationals (€750M+ revenue) are subject to a 15% global minimum effective tax rate under the OECD Pillar Two rules, limiting the benefit of low-tax jurisdictions.
