Avoidance or unjustified delay in tax payment could result in unwanted penalties by the authorities of the country the business is operating in. Therefore, having a detailed analysis of taxes and a better comprehension of the same could contribute towards responsible actions and punctual behaviour.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>For small businesses just starting, or maybe still on the verge of better growth, taxation could be challenging to focus on, as most of the concentration usually goes into the core activities.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The current accounting tax year in the United Kingdom runs from 6th April 2020 to 5th April 2021.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>There is a tax system in the United Kingdom that works on the various tax laws specified in their law and order books.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s see various kinds of taxes in the United Kingdom that small businesses are liable to pay:<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h4>Corporation Tax:<\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The corporate tax rate in the United Kingdom is 19 per cent.

For sole traders, income tax will be charged on personal profits included on your self-assessment tax return.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h4>Value Added Tax (VAT)<\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>VAT is not required to be paid unless the business turnover exceeds the threshold of 85000 Euros. It is not a direct tax but a consumption tax added to the cost of goods and services. If you are eligible to pay VAT, then you need to do the needful quarterly. Also, you need to apply for VAT returns within 37 days of the end of the quarter.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h4>National Insurance<\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>National Insurance is a scheme to construct your empire\u2019s pension and pay for public services. National Insurance charges are paid via PAYE in case of Income-tax for a limited company\u2019s director.
