Corporation Tax Returns Edinburgh
CT600 preparation and HMRC filing for Edinburgh limited companies, including fintech firms, professional services practices and university spin-outs. Fixed fee agreed up front, ACCA-regulated.
Overview
Accurate CT600 Filing for Edinburgh Limited Companies
Edinburgh has a dense concentration of limited companies across financial technology, professional services, creative industries, and university spin-outs from Edinburgh's four universities. Each brings its own corporation tax considerations: R&D relief for tech firms, marginal relief calculations for growing SMEs, and director loan disclosures for owner-managed businesses. Countify prepares and submits CT600 returns that are accurate, aligned to your statutory accounts, and filed before HMRC's deadline.
Primary sources: Corporation Tax (HM Revenue & Customs), Running a limited company (GOV.UK) and Companies House (Companies House).
What you get
Edinburgh Corporation Tax, Handled Correctly
Edinburgh's company landscape shapes the corporation tax work we do here. Fintech and SaaS firms scaling out of the city's tech cluster often have eligible R&D expenditure that reduces their corporation tax bill. Professional services partnerships converting to limited company status need careful first-year CT treatment. University spin-outs from Heriot-Watt, Edinburgh Napier, Queen Margaret or the University of Edinburgh may hold patent box or R&D relief positions. Director-shareholder businesses across the New Town's professional services community need dividend and salary mix reviewed alongside the CT computation. We handle all of this under one roof, on a fixed fee, with a named accountant.

When must an Edinburgh limited company file its corporation tax return?
The CT600 filing deadline is 12 months after the end of the accounting period. Corporation Tax itself is usually payable 9 months and 1 day after the period end — earlier than the filing deadline.
Can an Edinburgh tech company claim R&D tax relief on its corporation tax return?
Yes, if the company carries out qualifying research and development. We identify eligible costs, prepare the supporting technical narrative and include the claim within the CT600.
What is marginal relief and does it apply to my Edinburgh company?
Marginal relief applies where a company's profits fall between £50,000 and £250,000 (adjusted for associated companies). It reduces the effective corporation tax rate between the 19% small-profits rate and the 25% main rate.
What happens if we miss the Edinburgh corporation tax deadline?
HMRC issues automatic penalties for late filing and charges interest on late payment. We set deadline reminders well in advance and complete filings with time to spare.
Can you file the corporation tax return and annual accounts at the same time?
Yes. We typically prepare statutory accounts, the corporation tax computation and the CT600 together, ensuring they are consistent before any submission is made.
