Tax computation query
From a corporation tax perspective, client entertaining and fines/penalties are normally added back in the tax computation as disallowable expenses, in the same way that depreciation is added back. The tax adjustments section would typically include:
Depreciation – add back
Client entertaining – add back
Fines and penalties – add back
Less: Capital allowances
This results in the adjusted taxable profit (or loss) for corporation tax purposes.
I need to adjust the corporation tax computation for client entertainment expenses and penalties, as these are non-deductible for tax purposes.
The current tax computation only includes adjustments for depreciation and capital allowances. How should I include the client entertainment and penalties in the computation?
