Corporation Tax registration
Support with HMRC registration, tax references and alignment of the accounting period with the company records.
Overview
Compliance completed properly, with tax considered throughout the year
Corporation Tax should not be treated as a once-a-year filing exercise. Business decisions, financing, remuneration, capital expenditure, losses and group arrangements can all affect the final position.
CBM Accounting combines annual compliance with forward-looking advice. We prepare the tax computation and Company Tax Return, reconcile the result to the statutory accounts, explain the liability and identify relevant planning points before deadlines become urgent.

Frequently asked questions
Questions clients often ask
Every situation is different. These answers provide a practical starting point, and we confirm the position after reviewing the facts.
Ask our team a questionWhat is included in a Company Tax Return?
A Company Tax Return normally includes the CT600, relevant supplementary pages, statutory accounts, tax computations and supporting information required for the company circumstances. We coordinate the return with the final accounts.
Can you estimate Corporation Tax before the year end?
Yes. A forecast can be prepared from management accounts, expected adjustments and planned transactions. It remains an estimate until the final accounts and complete tax information are available.
Will you identify tax reliefs automatically?
We consider reliefs relevant to the information and activities made known to us. Some claims require specialist technical work and detailed evidence, which we scope separately before proceeding.
Can you amend a previously filed return?
Where the statutory amendment window remains open, we can review the original return, prepare the correction and explain any tax, interest or disclosure consequences.
Do you deal with HMRC queries after filing?
Routine correspondence can be handled under the agreed engagement. Formal enquiries or investigations are assessed separately because the work and risk can vary significantly.
