Corporation Tax Calculations

Corporation tax has to be paid on all profits from a UK-registered company; you will not receive a bill, and the deadline for paying is usually 9 months and one day after the end of the business’s accounting period. You need to keep accounting records to be able to do your corporation tax calculation, including money made from doing business (“trading profits”), investments, and selling assets at a profit (“chargeable gains”). When you file your tax return you have to work out your profit or loss for the purposes of corporation tax. This is different from the profit or loss shown in your annual accounts.

FAQs

Which accounting standards do you cover?

We specialise in preparing statutory accounts governed by the Financial Reporting Council (FRC), specifically under FRS 102, FRS 102A and FRS 105.

What types of entities do you support?

We prepare year-end accounts and tax returns for micro, small, medium and group companies, alongside statutory accounts and tax compliance for sole traders and partnerships.

What is included in your corporation tax compliance service?

We handle standard CT600 preparation, S455 tax calculations for directors' loans (CT600A) and group relief claims (CT600C). Trading profits, chargeable gains and capital allowances are each calculated separately to determine the exact tax liability as it often differs from the accounting profit.

Do we need to change our software to work with you?

No, we can adapt to whichever platform your firm already uses as our team is experienced in using major accounts production and tax software like TaxCalc, IRIS and Sage.

Can you prepare the year-end accounts if a client's records are incomplete?

Yes, if the data isn't ready for statutory accounts preparation, we can compile a query sheet for your client or arrange for our bookkeeping team to clean and reconcile the ledger first.

How do you keep our client’s data secure?

We protect client data as a fully GDPR-compliant firm operating under an ISO 27001:2022 certified framework. All data is held on UK-based servers, accessed via secure VPN connections and transferred using encrypted platforms like Box and AWS.

How do you ensure the quality of the prepared accounts and tax returns?

We ensure the quality of our files by checking them against a strict internal checklist. Our quality assurance department then reviews the work separately to catch anything that needs correcting. The accounts and tax return only reach your desk once both checks are complete and the file is ready for your review.

Who handles the final submissions and HMRC queries?

Your practice can retain full control over the final submission or, if you prefer, we can handle the process ourselves using your agent credentials. If HMRC or Companies House raises any enquiry about the accounts or returns we prepared, Outbooks responds on your firm's behalf so the matter is resolved without adding to your team's workload.

How quickly can we start handing over our year-end files?

Once the contract is signed, you upload your data via our secure portal and we begin validation immediately. There is no lengthy setup period, so we can take on files from the first week and scale quickly to cover a busy period or clear a backlog.

How do we communicate with your team and track progress?

Depending on your chosen engagement model, you will either work with a dedicated account manager or manage your full-time resource directly during standard UK working hours. We ensure you are proactively informed upon job completion and respond to all communications within 24 hours.

Do we need to commit to a minimum volume of work?

No, we offer flexible engagement models to suit different workloads. The Pay As You Go service covers ad-hoc hourly work with a one month minimum commitment, while the full-time resource model suits firms that want consistent, ongoing capacity. You can explore both options in detail on our engagement models page or get in touch if you would like to talk through which suits your practice.
