4(1)A company’s tonnage tax profits for an accounting period are calculated in accordance with this paragraph by reference to the net tonnage of the qualifying ships operated [F1or managed] by the company.U.K.

For the purposes of the calculation the net tonnage of a ship is rounded down (if necessary) to the nearest multiple of 100 tons.

For each 100 tons between 1,000 and 10,000 tons£0.45£0.09
For each 100 tons between 10,000 and 25,000 tons£0.30£0.06
For each 100 tons above 25,000 tons£0.15£0.03]
