The computation
Entertaining, depreciation and non-deductible legal and professional costs added back; losses brought forward, carried back or surrendered within a group; directors’ loans and the section 455 charge handled.
Corporation tax
Corporate tax solutions
Corporation tax prepared and filed accurately and efficiently, with compliance maintained and every saving opportunity actually claimed.
Every UK limited company pays corporation tax on its profits and files a CT600 with HMRC alongside accounts in iXBRL format – even in a year where no tax is due. The return is due twelve months after the period ends; the payment, awkwardly, nine months and a day after it.
What's included
Where the work actually is
Profit in your accounts is not profit for tax. The computation is what turns one into the other.
Capital allowances
The annual investment allowance and full expensing claimed on the right assets, at the right time. Timing capital expenditure across a year end is often the simplest saving available.
Marginal relief
The main rate and the small profits rate are separated by a band of marginal relief, and the thresholds are divided by the number of associated companies. Owners of two companies are frequently surprised by this.
R&D relief
Valuable for companies resolving genuine technical uncertainty, though the rules and the scrutiny have both tightened. We assess a claim honestly and say no where the answer is no.
CT600 and iXBRL filing
The return and tagged accounts submitted to HMRC, accounts filed at Companies House, and the payment figure and deadline put in your calendar.
Profit extraction review
Salary, dividends, pension contributions and benefits looked at across company and director together, so the total tax is what gets optimised rather than one half of it.
How it works
Accounts to filed return
Four stages, with the figure known long before the money is due.
1
Finalise the accounts
Statutory accounts agreed with you first – the computation is only ever as good as what it starts from.
2
Build the computation
Disallowables added back, capital allowances claimed, losses applied and every relief you are entitled to identified.
3
Review the extraction
Salary, dividends and pension across the company and you personally, so nothing is optimised at the other’s expense.
4
File and diarise payment
CT600 and iXBRL accounts submitted, with the nine-month-and-a-day payment deadline flagged well ahead.
Why it matters
Compliance and saving are not in conflict
Maintaining compliance with tax regulations while maximising legitimate tax-saving opportunities is the whole of the job. We show you the figure and how it was reached, rather than handing over a number and an invoice – because the reliefs that go unclaimed are almost always the ones nobody explained.
- Every relief identified, not assumed
- Associated companies checked
- Payment date known months ahead
- Nothing filed without your approval

Ask us something elsePayment is due nine months and one day after the end of your accounting period; the return is due twelve months after it. The payment coming before the filing deadline catches people out every year, so we produce the figure early.
Possibly – it depends on whether you are resolving genuine scientific or technological uncertainty, not on whether the work felt innovative. The regime has tightened and HMRC is scrutinising claims heavily. We will assess it honestly and say no where the answer is no.
Yes, significantly. Associated companies divide the profit thresholds between them, which can push both into a higher effective rate. It is worth reviewing the structure rather than discovering it in a computation.
File on time regardless, then talk to HMRC about a Time to Pay arrangement. They are routinely granted for companies that engage early. We make the call and put the arrangement in place.
Yes – accounts and the confirmation statement, as your appointed agent, alongside the CT600 to HMRC. You approve everything before it is submitted.
