    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.
