Timing of Annual Returns / Corporation Tax

So just checking it again.

'This notice is a formal request for the company to deliver a Company Tax Return .......

Perhaps its not a late notification.

It's exactly what it says it is.

It's no different than the notice to file a tax return that an individual might receive. It's not a late notification.

Thanks. I'm careful not to piss off the VAT / Tax man. Just being careful. I was concerned too as there had been two letters asking for the same info in quick succession.

A few things you can do:

Bookmark this link, editing NNNNNNNN for your company number, and check there whenever needed.

Search for your company on the Companies House WebCheck or Beta services and click "monitor this company" to get email alerts (need to create an account but it's free).

Log in to the HMRC gateway every now and then and check that all respective submissions that should have been made actually have been made. While you're there sign up for email reminders for PAYE and VAT. Of limited use tbh, the VAT return reminder usually comes in a week before the period end, but better than nothing.

Annual accounts are due to companies house 9 months after the last day of your accounting period with the corporation tax due to HMRC a day later. The actual corporation tax return is due to 12 months after the end of the accounting period.

You should double check the letter you've received as the CT return for period ending 31 March 2016 shouldn't be due until next year.

Can't come up with any advice of your own?
