CT600.pdf

[kingcook]

Are there any alternatives to filing a CT600 (corp tax) return, without using the CT600.pdf that HMRC provide?

I have a problem with Adobe Reader not wanting to open any PDF documents at random times during the year (it seems to favour doing this when I really need it the most)

I'm not aware of any non-professional software to do this. In fact I didn't think PDF was possible now in any even, even for the CT600.

Bear in mind its not just the CT600 in (possibly) PDF format, but the accounts and computations now need to be iXbrl tagged, to a pre-set lexicography. Although that can be done manually, professional grade software is really to only feasible approach, although I don't know if the HMRC PDF does this or not?


A Public Sector entity where I sit on the board was charged £1,000 by a largish firm of accountants for a one off conversion of the accounts of a simple subsidiary to iXbrl, possibly as they could get away with it. By contrast we've not charged our clients and have relied on software to deal with this although it has slowed the submission proces down and complicated matters.

Think I need to read up more on company tax returns

Well if it is anything like what the kids did to their laptops I am sure someone in Russia is working on wiping out your need for a tax return

I came across this:

I've only quickly skimmed through it, will read properly later. Might be of use to others.
