Home / Services / Corporation Tax Returns and Planning
We prepare and file your company tax return, claim everything you’re entitled to, and help you plan for the bill ahead.
General information to help you understand this area — not personal advice. Rules, thresholds and deadlines can change, so check the latest HMRC guidance or ask us about your circumstances.
A company must file its Company Tax Return (CT600) within 12 months of the end of its accounting period. Corporation Tax is generally payable earlier — nine months and one day after the end of the accounting period for companies with profits under the £1.5m threshold. Missing deadlines triggers automatic penalties and interest.
Companies can reduce their taxable profits through capital allowances on qualifying equipment, R&D relief for qualifying innovation, and other statutory reliefs. Claiming these correctly and on time is part of getting the return right.
Where you control more than one company, the rules on associated companies and group relief can affect the rate and timing of tax — worth reviewing before decisions are made, not after.
We’ll be happy to answer your questions, take the time to understand your current tax and accounting position, and discuss how we can help you.
