Income Tax
Income tax is the tax liability levied on the income above a specific personal Allowance threshold. The income that comes under the income tax scope is employment income, profits made if you are self-employed, certain government grants and support payments, personal pensions and State pension, income from a trust, extra benefits from a job, etc. There are also numerous allowances, reliefs and tax-exempted income that must be considered.

Corporate Tax
Corporation tax is levied on limited companies, clubs, cooperative associations like community groups, and sports clubs. The current corporation tax rate is 19% which is applied to the taxable profit. Taxable profit is computed after deducting all the tax-allowable expenses, but some expenses do not tax allowable, so they need to be added back to the profit figure.

In short corporate tax are a mixture of earnings, expenses (out of which some are tax allowable, some are not), several claims and certain allowances. Such a wide variety of items requires that there should be a professional to handle the complexity of the matter.

Capital Gains Tax
Capital gains tax applies to the disposal of capital assets that have been appreciated. CGT does not apply to unsold assets, stocks or any other investment; it is only payable when sold, and the profit is realised. Before the sale of assets, no CGT applies no matter how much they have increased in value or how long they have been held. CGT does contain a lot of complexities, with many inclusions and exemptions.

Inheritance Tax
The inherited estate does not come without its tax implications. The distribution of estates among the heirs and applying inheritance tax rules is seriously complicated and requires specialist knowledge and expertise. Inheritance tax, in general, cannot be calculated using a default format because of the different types of assets involved and complex family structures.

Computing Inheritance tax bill and claiming necessary allowances and reliefs is an art, not a science, such as making charity donations, leaving the estate to the spouse, putting assets into a trust, giving gifts, paying into pension funds so on.
