Filing Your Company Tax Return Made Simple
Filing your company tax return doesn’t have to be stressful but late or incorrect filings can lead to penalties, interest, and unnecessary HMRC attention.
Whether you’re asking “what is corporation tax?”, “when do I pay corporation tax?”, or need help to submit your corporation tax return, we provide clear, practical guidance at every stage.
Our tailored service helps you:
- Calculate and minimise your corporation tax liability.
- File your CT600 form accurately and on time.
- Understand if and when you pay corporation tax on dividends.
- Stay compliant with the latest tax rules and filing deadlines.
Our Company Tax Return Services Include:
- Preparing & filing your CT600 form
- Corporation tax calculations & advice
- Submitting your corporation tax return to HMRC
- Advice on tax reliefs & allowances to minimise liabilities
- Guidance on when and how to pay corporation tax
- Support for dividends, capital gains, and business expenses
What Is a Company Tax Return (CT600)?
A company tax return, also known as a CT600, is a legal requirement for all UK limited companies. It reports your company’s taxable profits and calculates how much Corporation Tax is due for each accounting period.
The return must be submitted to HMRC along with:
- Statutory company accounts
- Detailed tax computations
- Supporting schedules where required
Even if your company makes no profit or a loss, a CT600 usually still needs to be filed. Accurate preparation is essential to avoid penalties and unnecessary HMRC enquiries.
When Is Corporation Tax Due?
- Corporation Tax deadlines depend on your company’s accounting period, but in most cases:
- Corporation Tax is due 9 months and 1 day after the end of the accounting period
- The CT600 tax return must be submitted within 12 months of the period end
Missing these deadlines can result in:
- Automatic penalties
- Interest on unpaid tax
- Increased HMRC scrutiny
Early preparation helps ensure you pay the correct amount, on time, without last-minute pressure.
What Happens If You File Your Company Tax Return Late?
Late or incorrect company tax returns can trigger:
- Fixed penalties for late submission
- Daily penalties for continued delays
- Interest on unpaid Corporation Tax
- HMRC compliance checks or enquiries
Even small errors can cause delays or investigations. Working with experienced accountants helps reduce risk and ensures your return is filed correctly the first time.
How We Help Reduce Corporation Tax Legally
Reducing Corporation Tax is not about aggressive schemes, it’s about proper planning and making full use of legitimate reliefs and allowances.
We help businesses reduce Corporation Tax by:
- Identifying allowable business expenses
- Reviewing capital allowances
- Advising on dividend planning
- Ensuring reliefs are claimed correctly
- Structuring profits efficiently
Our focus is always on legal, HMRC-compliant tax efficiency.

I’ve been with Accounting People now for over six years. Both Sohaib and Ian have always been incredibly responsive and genuinely supportive. Their advice is clear, communication is honest, and working with them has been a great experience. Especially when there are questions I'm not sure how to answer. A highly reliable and professional team. Can't recommend them enough (well, I've introduced them to a few people over the years and will continue to do so).

Accounting People have been absolutely outstanding with their service. They are always proactive in preparing and submitting our VAT returns well before the deadline, which gives us complete peace of mind. The team is transparent, reliable, and extremely supportive throughout the entire process. They are always available to answer any questions we have, no matter how big or small.
My account manager, Asim, has been exceptionally helpful — he explains everything clearly, responds quickly, and makes the whole process smooth and stress-free. I genuinely feel valued as a client.
I strongly recommend Accounting People, and especially Asim. Keep up the great work!

I have had a great experience with Umair in Accounting People. Umair filled in all the paperwork to set up my limited company in February 2022 and has overseen the accounts in the company since, producing annual financial statements. He has always been very responsive to questions and given straight forward and well explained advice (which I need!) on the best way to do things. I recommended Accounting People to a friend on the basis of my positive experience with them. She also felt that they provided an excellent service.

I’ve been with Accounting People since setting up my limited company in 2019, and I honestly couldn’t recommend them highly enough. As a contractor, having a reliable and responsive accountancy firm is crucial — and they’ve exceeded my expectations from day one.
Ian Luke and his team run an extremely professional outfit. When I first transitioned to a limited company, they guided me through the entire setup process and explained everything clearly, making what could have been a complicated journey feel straightforward and well-supported.
I have been assigned a dedicated Account Manager, Umair Iqbal, who has been nothing short of outstanding. He’s always available when I call, and if he’s tied up, he gets back to me the same day without fail. He explains everything patiently and clearly, is proactive in keeping me compliant, and genuinely takes the stress out of my company’s tax obligations. I’ve even entrusted them with my personal tax returns, and the service there has been just as seamless.
Accounting People handle all my VAT returns, corporation tax, and the full range of services you’d expect for managing a company’s tax liability — professionally, efficiently, and with real attention to detail.
After six years with them, I can confidently say they’re a firm you can trust. Highly recommended to any contractor or small business owner looking for dependable, responsive, top-quality accounting support.

Accounting People have been responsible for compiling our annual company (Sportonspec) accounts since 2020, and more recently our VAT returns also. Our various HMRC filing requirements are consistently dealt with in a timely fashion. Our point of contact is Umair. Wherever we've had a query the feedback has always been prompt and any explanations requested have been clear. It helps they are always keen to understand our business and objectives going forward. The service we have received from Umair and Accounting People has been excellent throughout. I would recommend them to any growing business looking for reliable and proactive accountants.

I would highly recommend them as a small business owner.

I’ve been with them since day one, introduced by a friend who still trusts their services today. From incorporating my company with Companies House to giving me clear, tax-efficient advice, they’ve always been professional, reliable, and genuinely invested in my success.
What I really value is the personal touch — they don’t just “do the numbers,” they take time to understand my goals and go the extra mile. As I start a new venture, a quick chat turned into the partner offering their full support, even stepping in to handle due diligence without hesitation.
It’s rare to find accountants who combine expertise with such genuine care. I honestly couldn’t ask for more

From day one, their team has been incredibly responsive, supportive, and easy to work with. They take the stress out of accounting and make everything run smoothly and efficiently. Thanks to their ongoing support and strategic insights, I’ve seen real growth and stability in my personal tax liabilities and business. I always feel like I have a trusted partner in my corner.

I’ve been working with Accounting People for several years now, and they’ve consistently provided outstanding support with both my personal and joint tax affairs, including my self-assessment as a software engineer and income from a rental property.
Their team is always responsive, professional, and proactive — whether it’s helping with documentation, answering tax queries, or reminding me of upcoming deadlines. The entire process is efficient and well-organized, which has made managing our finances much easier.
They’ve not only saved us time and stress, but also helped reduce our tax burden through smart, tailored advice. A great example was their guidance on handling rental income more effectively, which resulted in meaningful tax savings.
Thanks to their expertise, I’ve been able to stay focused on my work while feeling confident that our finances are in good hands. I would highly recommend Accounting People to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy accounting partner.

I’ve been working with Accounting People for two years and I have recommended them to work colleagues. They’ve made a world of difference in my financial life — both personally and professionally.
From day one, they’ve provided exceptional support in managing my UK taxes with ease, while also helping me seamlessly reconcile my Spanish and English tax obligations. They’ve also made obtaining my UK certificates of tax residency a total breeze — something that used to feel overwhelming!
The team has been incredibly responsive, efficient, and knowledgeable. Their approach to accounting is not just easy — it’s stress-free. I always feel like I’m in safe hands.

I couldn't speak more highly of Accounting People LTD. As a small business owner AND someone who isn't great at accounting or book keeping etc. they've consistently helped ensure everything that goes through HMRC is punctual, thorough and minimal effort my end. Even when I've asked then to dumb things down for me to understand, or if i've asked them questions I am sure a most accountants would want more money for, or when I've forgot important deadlines even though they've sent me countless reminders, they've been patient and always ensured I was up-to-date. Plus they're always looking to help the tax side of business run as efficiently as possible, so much so that I think I save far more than I pay them! I didn't think doing my taxes would be this easy. Cheers APL!

I have been working with Accounting People for the past 3 years, and my overall experience has been excellent. Their team is highly responsive and supportive, and the accounting process has been very easy and efficient, saving me valuable time.
My account manager, Sohaib, has been outstanding. He is professional, attentive, and always quick to provide clear and practical advice.
One of the biggest differences I’ve noticed is how Accounting People’s guidance has made financial decisions smoother and given me peace of mind, knowing that my accounts are in capable hands.
I would strongly recommend Accounting People to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable accounting partner.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Accounting People Ltd due to the consistently stellar service I have received from them. I have employed their services for over 7 years to file my annual tax returns and they have consistently done an amazing job and made my tax filings very easy and stress free for me. They have also liaised with HMRC on my behalf on some very sensitive and complicated matters with very favourable outcomes. They have saved me time and significantly reduced my tax burdens, getting me tax refunds where they were due with speed and efficiency. Huge shout out to Sohaib Naveed in particular who I have worked with the most and who has handled many of mine and my family's complex tax affairs over the years - he is super knowledgeable, time and cost efficient and very responsive.

I’ve used the services of Accounting People for over 7 years now, for my self-assessment tax returns, and I honestly couldn’t recommend them more highly. From the start, they’ve made the entire process incredibly easy, efficient, and completely stress-free.
What really stands out is how proactive they are, they take the time to offer genuinely helpful advice tailored to my situation.
The team are experts and always responsive and supportive. Any time I’ve had a question (and there have been a few!), they’ve come back quickly with clear, helpful answers. That level of service and attention has made a huge difference, and I have far more confidence in how my finances are managed.
If you're looking for someone to take the stress out of self-assessment and give you solid, proactive advice along the way, I’d wholeheartedly recommend them.
