Tax Knowledge For A New Business Owner by SLOVFO(op): 11:43am On Jun 18, 2019
I recently set up a company but I am yet to start using it to do business. I need knowledge about how tax is calculated and applied to businesses. Can anyone direct me to where I can acquire the requisite knowledge?

Income Tax for companies is 30% of profit.

If it's a one-man business you don't pay company income tax, but personal income tax (Which is much lower than CIT).

Other taxes:

VAT - 5% of price

WHT - varies

Thanks brother for the information. By "one-man business", you meant any business that's not incorporated?
