Corporation tax returns

Corporation tax is due before the return that reports it. We work out what you owe early, so the payment is planned rather than discovered.

Request a quote What's included

Every UK limited company, plus clubs, societies and associations that HMRC treats as within the charge.

The timing trap

Corporation tax works backwards from what most people expect. The payment is due nine months and one day after your year end, but the return that calculates it is not due until twelve months. Companies that wait for the return to be prepared find they are already late paying.

We prepare the computation early precisely so this does not happen. You get the number in time to plan for it.

What we do

We prepare the CT600 and the supporting computation alongside your statutory accounts, so the two agree and nothing is done twice. We work through the adjustments that turn accounting profit into taxable profit, and make sure the reliefs you qualify for are actually claimed.

That includes capital allowances on equipment and vehicles, relief on qualifying R&D where it genuinely applies, losses carried forward or back, and the treatment of director remuneration.

How this helps you

  • No surprise bill. You know the figure months before it is payable.
  • Reliefs are claimed. Capital allowances in particular are routinely underclaimed.
  • Salary and dividend mix reviewed. How you take money out changes the total tax paid across you and the company.
  • The return stands up. Computations properly documented, so an HMRC enquiry is an inconvenience rather than a crisis.

Questions

Common questions

What rate will my company pay?
The rate depends on your level of profits, with a lower rate for small profits, a main rate above an upper threshold, and marginal relief in between. Rates and thresholds change, so we confirm the position for your specific accounting period rather than working from memory.
Can I pay in instalments?
Very large companies are required to pay quarterly. Smaller companies pay in one amount, though HMRC will often agree a Time to Pay arrangement if you contact them before the deadline rather than after.
Is it better to take salary or dividends?
It depends on your profit level, your other income, and what you need personally. There is usually an efficient combination rather than one right answer, and we review it as part of your year-end work.
What if my company made a loss?
Losses can be carried forward against future profits, and in some circumstances carried back against the previous year to generate a refund. Either way the loss needs to be properly claimed on the return.
