CT600 HMRC Corporation Tax - X Error

[Scruff]

Unfamiliarity with Double-Entry accounting system leads to much confusion.

Pay an accountant to do the accountant bit and pay yourself to do the earnings bit...

Hopefully you are filling in the CT600 from a set of prepared accounts. If so it's pretty straightforward; if not pain follows.

ZED.

Do you have an accountant - if not I think you should get one

[Clare@InTouch]

As above, you can't have a cash balance equal to your loss. Should it be a directors' loan of £731, which would then balance to your loss of £733 less shares of £2?

Do you not have a set of accounts with a balance sheet? I presume you've prepared them so you can file at Companies House too.......?

[VectraMan]

Is this the first year? Where's the money come from? If you've put your own money into the company, then you're a creditor, and you'd have to account for that. I think that's the second problem.

The first problem is one I've had, and you have to poke in the £2 somewhere.
