Staged Reduction of the Company Tax Rate
The government has announced a staged reduction of the company tax rate beginning in the 2017-18 income year.
This change also involves a progressive increase to the annual aggregated turnover threshold for access to the 27.5% company tax rate, meaning that smaller companies will qualify earlier for the rate cut.
From the 2024-25 income year, there will be a further reduction each year for all companies until the corporate tax rate reaches 25% in the 2026-27 income year.
