Investopedia explains 'Advance Corporation Tax - ACT'

The advance corporation tax was paid before a company’s main corporation taxes, when dividend payments were made to shareholders. The amount paid in ACT was deducted from the main corporation taxes. A company’s ACT payments meant that those receiving dividends had already paid a basic rate tax on any dividend income. For the company, the amount paid in ACT could be factored in its profit and loss statements, thereby potentially reducing its corporate tax burden.
