I believe the corporation tax is just 12% on the adjusted profit, but I can't recall the exact steps to calculate the total tax liability.

I'm not entirely sure if we should include the cost of updating assets in the taxable profit calculation. Was that considered a capital expense?

I think we had a similar practice question where we had to calculate tax liabilities after adjusting for non-deductible expenses. It was tricky!

I remember we discussed how to adjust taxable profits by adding back disallowed expenses like depreciation and entertainment costs.
