Corporation Tax
CT600s, R&D claims, group relief, capital allowances — handled properly.
Corporation tax is where careless practices lose clients money. We make it the most reviewed line in the engagement: claims documented, capital allowances optimised, group relief considered before it’s too late.
Included in scope
- 01 CT600 preparation & submission
- 02 R&D tax credit claims (SME & RDEC)
- 03 Capital allowance & AIA reviews
- 04 Group relief & loss planning
- 05 Corporation tax forecasting & payment scheduling
Where this shows up
in the work.
There are three margins where preparation pays many times over. Claiming what’s claimable — capital allowances, AIA, R&D, structures and buildings. Timing what’s timeable — loss surrender between group companies, payment-on-account scheduling. Avoiding what’s avoidable — associated company rules, the marginal-rate band, late-filing penalties. We work through all three on the CT600 review and document the reasoning each year so it isn’t reinvented from scratch.
Recurring scenarios
- 01 An R&D claim under the merged scheme — we evidence the qualifying activity properly, calculate the enhanced deduction, and file Form CT600L with the PAYE/NIC restriction documented.
- 02 A trading loss that could be carried back twelve months, surrendered to a sister company, or carried forward — we model all three and choose for cash, not for habit.
- 03 A close-investment-holding company test that’s been quietly drifting — we surface the implications for relief restrictions before the year-end.
- 04 Capital allowances on a substantial office fit-out — AIA, full-expensing, structures and buildings allowance — separated into the right pools rather than lumped on a single asset register.
