“How to pay the special tax to become a qualifying company”

If you want to become a qualifying company, you need to pay a special tax called the qualifying company election tax. You must pay this tax to the Commissioner. The deadline for paying this tax is your company’s terminal tax date. This date is in the tax year that matches the income year when you decide to become a qualifying company. You can find more information about this tax in section HA 40.
