Question 55- Crash Bash LTD - calculation of tax liability

Mmini11y ago
Crash Bash LTD commenced trading on 1 February 2013 Crash Bash LTD prepared its first accounts for the nine-month period ended 31 October 2013 TTP = 338,510 FII = 40,000 Augmented profit = 378,510 Question: Calculate corporation tax liability for the nine-month period ended 31 October 2013? According to the solution, the upper and lower limits are adjusted as following: Upper limit 1,500,000 * 9/12 *1/2 = 562,500 Lower limit 300,000 * 9/12 *1/2 = 112,500 Could you please explain to me why the upper and lower limits are multiplied by ½?

Because there would must be an associate company so the limits will be reduced read the question again

Correct - there must indeed be an associated company and hence divide the limits by 2.
