Corporation Tax

Corporation tax compliance is essential for every limited company, but it should also be an opportunity to look ahead, not just an annual chore. Our corporation tax services help you meet your obligations while quietly improving your tax position year on year, with clear management figures along the way.

What we cover

Three pillars of our corporation tax service

From statutory filings to forward looking advice, we cover every aspect of corporation tax for owner managed limited companies, all under one roof.

01

Tax Returns

Preparing and submitting your company corporation tax return (CT600) accurately and on time, alongside statutory year end accounts for Companies House. We make sure every figure ties together and every relief is claimed.

  • Statutory year end accounts
  • CT600 corporation tax return preparation and filing
  • Companies House confirmation statements
02

Financial Statements

Detailed monthly or quarterly management accounts to keep you informed of your performance through the year, not just at year end. Clear, plain English figures you can act on, not just file.

  • Monthly or quarterly management accounts
  • Profit and loss, balance sheet, and cashflow
  • Plain English commentary alongside the numbers
03

Tax Planning

Strategic, plain English advice to minimise your corporation tax liabilities and maximise your financial efficiency. From dividend planning and capital allowances to pension contributions and R&D claims, we look at the full picture.

  • Dividend and director remuneration planning
  • Capital allowances and full expensing
  • R&D tax credits where applicable

How we work

A calm year end, every year

Year end should not be a guessing game. We follow a clear process so you know what your tax bill will be long before it is due, and have time to plan around it.

  1. Year end planning conversation. Before your year end, we look at the figures and discuss any decisions to make, from dividends to capital purchases.
  2. Prepare statutory accounts. Once your year ends, we prepare full statutory accounts in line with FRS 102 or FRS 105, depending on your company size.
  3. Calculate corporation tax. We calculate your liability, claim every relief available, and walk you through the figures before anything is filed.
  4. File with HMRC and Companies House. We submit your CT600, accounts, and confirmation statement, and remind you of payment dates well in advance.

Common questions

Corporation tax, in plain English

When is corporation tax due?

For most small companies, corporation tax is due nine months and one day after the end of your accounting period. The CT600 itself can be filed up to twelve months after year end, but in practice we always aim to file well ahead of the payment deadline.

What reliefs can my company claim?

Every company is different, but typical reliefs include capital allowances on equipment and vehicles, the Annual Investment Allowance, full expensing, R&D tax credits, and various sector specific reliefs. We review your year and apply everything legitimately available.

Do you handle Companies House filings too?

Yes. We file your statutory accounts and your annual confirmation statement with Companies House, alongside your CT600 with HMRC, so everything stays joined up and on time.

Can you help with R&D tax credits?

Yes. If your company invests in developing new products, processes, or software, you may qualify for R&D tax credits. We will help you identify qualifying projects, prepare the technical narrative, and submit the claim alongside your corporation tax return.
