How is Corporation Tax calculated?

in Cutting tax
Just wondering how Corporation Tax is worked out for a Ltd Company? Is it calculated AFTER all the other taxes have been taken off (e.g. VAT, payroll etc) or is it calculated as a percentage of everything before taxes have been payed.
For example, if a company makes £80k per year before paying out VAT, payroll etc, is the Corporation Tax calculated as a pecentage of this £80k or is it calculated after the other taxes have been taken off, so a percentage of say £65k (approximate figure after VAT and payroll taxes have been taken off)?
Many thanks in advance for any help.

In short it is paid on net profit only, so after you have deducted all allowable expenses.0
