You must pay Corporation Tax on profits from doing business as:

a limited company
any foreign company with a UK branch or office
a club, co-operative or other unincorporated association, eg a community group or sports club

You don’t get a bill for Corporation Tax. There are specific things you must do to work out, pay and report your tax.

Register for Corporation Tax when you start doing business or restart a dormant business. Unincorporated associations must write to HMRC.
Keep accounting records and prepare a Company Tax Return to work out how much Corporation Tax to pay.
Pay Corporation Tax or report if you have nothing to pay by your deadline - this is usually 9 months and 1 day after the end of your ‘accounting period’.
File your Company Tax Return by your deadline - this is usually 12 months after the end of your accounting period.

Your accounting period is normally the same 12 months as the financial year covered by your annual accounts.
