Corporation Tax Returns
COMPANY TAX RETURN
All limited companies must complete a Company Tax Return. The return must be sent to HMRC within the correct period of time.
What is a Company Tax Return?
A Company Tax Return is submitted using the form CT600. HMRC will issue a “notice to deliver a tax return” shortly after the end of a company’s accounting period (usually the year end date).
How do I complete a Company Tax Return?
- Companies must file their Company Tax Return online with HMRC. The documents which must be submitted alongside the CT600 are the accounts and corporation tax calculations.
- Companies must register with HMRC to file online and obtain a user ID and password. KMR Excel can deal with this on your behalf.
- Accounts must also be filed with Companies House either online or via the post (online filing is not yet compulsory). To file online companies must obtain an authentication code from Companies House (this is completely different to the one from HMRC).
- There is an option to file jointly via the HMRC website. This is preferable as everything is done at the same time.
You can prepare and file your own Company Tax Return. However, unless you feel completely confident in completing the return yourself, then it may be advisable to employ the services of an accountant, such as KMR Excel.
At KMR Excel, we can take care of the whole process for you, and ensure that all submissions are filed in good time. Long before the submission deadline, we will inform you of your corporation tax liability (how much corporation tax you will need to pay).
