Having a good accountant is more important than ever.
Paying your business’s tax
Like any business, a Post Office must pay its fair share of taxes. Whether or not you have any to pay depends on your profitability for the tax year. As a limited company, you will pay corporation tax on profits, which is 19%.
We can assist with ensuring you pay the correct amount of tax. We can also help reduce your tax obligation through legitimate means. For example, you may be better of investing in new equipment to reduce your tax liability.
If you are concerned about your tax arrangement or you would like an expert to oversee the finances for your branch, we are here to help.
We have several Post Office businesses on our books as customers. We can assist with tax planning and accounting and we provide free, confidential advice.
