Company Tax Returns

UK limited companies must complete their company tax return and send it to HMRC before the deadlines. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) may carry out a compliance check to ensure that the figures in your corporation tax returns are correct. You should be prepared in advance to provide accurate information with your form within the required time frame.

dns accountants’ company tax experts take adequate steps and spend time with you to confirm the accurate business tax return filing process. dns can file your accounts and company tax return for smooth business growth and development.

How to file a Company Tax Return?

A UK limited company must file its company tax return within 12 months after the end of its accounting period, while the corporation tax payment is due 9 months and 1 day after that period ends.

Since HMRC does not send a bill, companies are responsible for calculating, reporting, and paying their own corporation tax on time to avoid penalties.

Here are the steps to file a company tax return:

  • Keep accurate company accounts and records throughout the year so figures are ready when needed.​
  • Check your accounting period end date and note both the tax payment deadline and filing deadline.​
  • Work out your Corporation Tax based on your company’s taxable profits for the period.​
  • Submit your company tax return online using HMRC’s service or through your accountant or tax agent.​
  • Pay your Corporation Tax to HMRC by the payment deadline to avoid interest and late payment penalties.

When do I need to submit my Company Tax Return?

When do I need to submit my Company Tax Return

You must submit your Company Tax Return based on your accounting period. If your accounts cover fewer than 12 months, your accounting period will still match your Corporation Tax period. However, if your accounts cover more than 12 months, HMRC requires two separate Company Tax Returns:

  • One return for the first 12 months
  • A second return for the remaining days

Many small businesses find this confusing, especially when dealing with shorter or longer accounting periods. But there’s no need to worry, our expert tax accountants specialise in these situations. We’ll calculate everything correctly and file your returns accurately and on time, without any hassle.
