Corporation Tax
Corporation tax prepared from the hospitality accounts, not guessed at the deadline.
Limited companies running restaurants and bars need corporation tax calculated correctly and filed on time. We prepare computations, support the CT600, file with HMRC and help you plan around known deadlines — with tax planning discussed in the context of your actual position, not generic promises.
The pressure point
Tax is harder when it is disconnected from the restaurant’s accounts.
- 01Not knowing what corporation tax will be until shortly before it is due
- 02Confusion between the Companies House deadline and the HMRC deadline
- 03Reliefs and adjustments that were never reviewed during the year
- 04A CT600 that feels like a separate project from the statutory accounts
- 05Directors unsure how drawings, salaries and dividends affect the company tax position
Included
What corporation tax support includes
Each engagement is scoped to the restaurant or bar. The items below are the core of the service; we will tell you plainly if something sits outside it.
- Corporation tax calculations
Taxable profit computed from the accounts, with adjustments explained in plain language.
- Corporation tax return preparation
The return prepared from the computation, ready for your review.
- CT600 support
The CT600 and supporting schedules completed accurately from the year’s figures.
- Tax planning support
Practical discussion of timing, remuneration and known reliefs based on your circumstances. We do not promise a particular tax saving.
- HMRC filing
The return submitted to HMRC once you have approved it, where we are authorised to act.
- Corporation tax deadlines
Payment and filing dates tracked so the company is not relying on memory between busy seasons.
How it works
A clear process, without unnecessary steps.
The tax computation follows the accounts
Corporation tax sits on statutory accounts, not a separate set of numbers invented at the deadline.
We explain the bill and the return
You see how accounting profit becomes taxable profit, and what is due and when.
We file once you have approved
HMRC filing is completed with your authority. Deadlines are diarised from the start.
Benefits
What this changes in the business.
- A corporation tax figure you can understand
- Filing and payment dates that are planned, not discovered
- Accounts and tax treated as one year-end, not two projects
- Room to discuss planning while there is still time to act
Who it is for
UK limited companies operating restaurants, bars and other food and beverage businesses that need corporation tax calculations, CT600 preparation and HMRC filing.
F&B example
How this looks in a restaurant or bar.
The computation follows the hospitality accounts. Planning is discussed on the facts; we do not guarantee a tax saving.
Systems supported
Quality-control and review
Work is prepared, reviewed and only then released. Senior review is part of the process for accounts, VAT, payroll and tax filings. You approve statutory and tax submissions before they go to Companies House or HMRC.

Questions
Corporation Tax — frequently asked.
For most companies, corporation tax is payable nine months and one day after the end of the accounting period. The CT600 filing deadline is usually twelve months after the period end. We track both.
We calculate the tax that is due on the facts, and we can discuss legitimate planning such as timing and remuneration. We do not guarantee savings or promote schemes.
Often yes. Company tax and personal tax are separate. Many directors need a Self Assessment return for salary, dividends and other income. We can handle both.
