Tax computations are normally submitted to the relevant tax authorities as supplementary material supporting a standardised summary tax return, for example a UK Corporation Tax return.


Promoting loan markets in various ways, the LMA publishes model documentation and "market guidelines" for use in both primary and secondary markets with a view to achieving more standardisation of widely accepted market practice.
For a business which produces external accounts, the tax computations will commonly include:

# Additional detail and reconciliations of figures appearing in the accounts.


The [[Association of Corporate Treasurers]] (ACT) has supported the LMA's primary documentation initiative since its inception.


The LMA discusses its primary investment grade borrower documentation with the ACT prior to publication.

A calculation of tax payable by a business or by an individual with more complex tax affairs, usually prepared by the taxpayer or the taxpayer's agent.

Tax computations are normally submitted to the relevant tax authorities as supplementary material supporting a standardised summary tax return, for example a UK Corporation Tax return.

For a business which produces external accounts, the tax computations will commonly include:

  1. A summary adjustment of the (externally reported) accounting profits, to calculate the taxable profits.
  2. Additional detail and reconciliations of figures appearing in the accounts.


Sometimes known as a tax comp or tax comps.
