CT600 and accounts filing for your company

Prepare your figures, review your documents and approve your filing. When you select Submit, the platform sends it using the credentials you enter. Support staff do not file it manually.

Trading micro-entity limited companies

Enter income, costs, tax adjustments and balance sheet figures. We prepare the CT600, tax computation and accounts.

We also support eligible associated companies and companies limited by guarantee. For CICs, the platform sends the CT600 to HMRC after you approve it and prepares an accounts and CIC34 package for you to upload to Companies House. Follow the illustrated CIC filing guide.

CHECKLIST

Before you start: what you'll need.

Have these ready before you begin. Don't worry if you're unsure about some figures — the wizard explains each field as you go.

  • Your company number — the 8-digit number from Companies House (e.g. 12345678).
  • Your Companies House authentication code — the 6-character code Companies House posts to your registered office (request or reset it via Companies House WebFiling). Used to file your accounts.
  • Your HMRC Government Gateway user ID and password — for the account enrolled for Corporation Tax for this company. Used to file your CT600. Recover them at gov.uk/log-in-register-hmrc-online-services.
  • Your Corporation Tax UTR — the 10-digit reference from HMRC's Corporation Tax letters or your Business Tax Account.
  • Your basic financial figures — turnover, expenses, and any other income for the accounting period.
  • Your accounting period dates — the start and end dates of the period you're filing for.
01 — CONNECT

Connect your company.

Enter your company number and we fetch your details from Companies House instantly:

  • Company name and registered address
  • Date of incorporation
  • Current directors
  • Accounting reference date
  • Filing history

You'll also enter your Companies House authentication code when you're ready to submit. It's used only for that submission and is never stored.

About 2 minutes
02 — INPUT

Enter your financial data.

Our guided wizard walks you through the information needed for your CT600 return and statutory accounts. The form is broken into clear sections:

Tax-scope inputs

  • Turnover (total sales / revenue)
  • Cost of sales
  • Operating expenses (rent, utilities, salaries)

10–20 minutes depending on complexity
03 — VALIDATE

Validate automatically.

Once you've entered your figures, our system runs four automatic validation checks:

Mathematical checks

Do your figures balance? Does the P&L reconcile with the balance sheet?

CT600 compliance

Every required CT600 box populated correctly against HMRC schema v3.

Tax calculation

Corporation tax computed across all applicable bands, including marginal relief.

iXBRL tagging

Accounts tagged against the correct FRS 105 taxonomy.

If any issues are found, you'll see clear error messages explaining what needs to be corrected.
Automatic (a few seconds)
04 — REVIEW

Review everything before filing.

Before filing, you can review and download everything that will be submitted:

  • CT600 return (XML with all computed values)
  • iXBRL statutory accounts (HMRC + Companies House tagged)
  • Tax computation (step-by-step breakdown)

Review the summary to make sure everything looks correct. You can go back and edit any figures if needed — regenerating documents is unlimited and included in your subscription.

05 — FILE

When you're satisfied with your documents, you're ready to submit:

  • CT600 XML submitted to HMRC when selected

About 1 minute

What happens after filing?

For a CIC, your filing page shows Your Companies House package when you have prepared a CIC34 report with us. Select Download the package (ZIP), then upload it through the Companies House CIC accounts service. You pay Companies House its separate £15 fee. When you approve the CT600 filing, the platform sends it to HMRC.

  • HMRC processing — HMRC typically processes CT600 returns within a few days. You'll see the filing reflected in your HMRC online account.
  • Companies House: if you chose to file with Companies House, we submit your supported accounts and show the result. You can also download the generated iXBRL accounts file. CICs use the separate customer-uploaded package.
  • Payment — Remember to pay your corporation tax by the deadline (9 months and 1 day after your accounting period end). We calculate the liability — you arrange payment to HMRC.

Use the prepared reports you already have

Upload trial balance, profit and loss or balance sheet exports from Xero or QuickBooks Online, or tabular CSV/Excel reports. Review automatic account recognition and change each mapping before use. This is a financial-report upload, not live syncing.
