A general small business ? I assume you are talking about a partnership business with 2 or 3 partners.
Every business whether it is a sole proprietor, a partnership or a limited company, any profit on the trading is liable to profits tax. the flat rate of profits tax is 16% on the profit (chargable income) i.e. Total income - Total expenses (Exclude partners' salaries, if any)= Charagable Income. However, for a sole proprietor or a partnership business, each partner has the right to transfer the share of profit to his personal tax file for assessment and to claim the personal allowance, other allowances etc.. therefrom.
The tax rate of 17.5% is charged on profit of a limited company only.
