INCOME TAXWhat is Income? Income = element of reoccurrence e.g. Profits from running a
business e.g. sales, Salaries, Rent, Interest received on loans and from
bank/building society accounts and Dividends and other income received from
investment in companies
Gross Income for that year (6 April to 5 April)
TEMPLATE FOR TRADING INCOME CALCULATION
Chargeable receipts (sales)
LESS
Deductible expenses (income nature; wholly and exclusively for the purposes
of trade; not statute-barred) = everyday expenses of a recurring nature
Add together total outgoings = Rent, Stock, Electricity, Insurance, Salaries, Business
rates
Then takeaway chargeable receipts (sales) by the total outgoings = Deductible
expenses.
LESS
Capital Allowances
Existing pool 18% - “EXISTING” brought pool of plant and machinery x 0.18
=
New Expenditure in tax year AIA (annual investment allowance) of up to
£1,000,000 = “NEW” pool of plant and machinery e.g. new cash registers (if
under 1m can be deducted)
NOTE: if business had spent 1.5 million – can take off the million AND 18% of the
500,000 to reduce income further.
Existing pool + New expenditure in tax year = Capital Allowance.
(Chargeable Receipts – Deductible Expenses) – Capital Allowance = TRADING
