Small Profits Rate applies to profits below £50,000. Where profits over £50,000 the full rate applies to all profits, but
there is Marginal Small Companies Relief on profits up to £250,000 which smooths the transition into full rate.
For most companies this gives a rate of 26.5% between £50,000 and £250,000.
