Wenzo guidesWhat are the annual accounts?
Your accounts describe the company’s finances for its financial year.
The full statutory set and the version sent to Companies House can differ. That happens where the company qualifies for filing exemptions.
What is the Company Tax Return?
The tax return reports the company’s Corporation Tax position to HMRC. It includes the CT600, and normally the accounts and tax computations in the required format.
Accounting profit and taxable profit are not always the same, so the figures in the two can look different.
Need both filings done together?
We prepare your annual accounts and Company Tax Return in one go, bookkeeping included. It’s £199 for turnover up to £90,000, or £499 for turnover above £90,000, paid when you approve.
Find your companyDoes filing pay the tax?
No. Submitting either document does not pay Corporation Tax. A payment receipt for our service doesn’t show a filing was submitted or accepted either, so keep each office’s filing outcome and proof of the company’s tax payment together.
How do the three steps fit together?
- Send the annual accounts to Companies House.
- Send the Company Tax Return, with its accounts and tax computations, to HMRC.
- Pay the Corporation Tax to HMRC as its own step.
Each step has its own deadline, so check the different deadlines. GOV.UK explains how to file your accounts and Company Tax Return.
