Tax Settlement for UK LTD Companies and Directors

Corporation Tax and the CT600 return

Every UK LTD company pays Corporation Tax on the profit it generates, settled by filing a Company Tax Return (form CT600) with HMRC alongside the financial statements and tax computations. We prepare the complete documentation: we establish the taxable base, correctly classify allowable business expenses, apply the reliefs available, and keep track of payment and filing deadlines so the company is not exposed to penalties and interest.

We also keep the figures consistent between Companies House and HMRC, as discrepancies are a common trigger for an enquiry. Read more about ongoing financial support on our Company Accounting page.

VAT — registration and returns

VAT becomes mandatory once turnover exceeds the statutory threshold, yet voluntary registration is often worth considering. We advise which VAT accounting scheme suits your activity, keep records in line with Making Tax Digital, and submit periodic returns. We also handle cross-border transactions and VAT on trade in goods and services between the UK and European Union countries.

Director's Self Assessment

A director is generally required to file a personal tax return under Self Assessment, covering salary, dividends, and sometimes other income. We help you register, report all income correctly, and use the allowances and reliefs you are entitled to. We manage the whole process — from gathering the data, through calculating the tax due, to filing with HMRC on time.

Optimisation: dividends versus salary

A key element of a director's tax planning is how funds are withdrawn from the company. Salary and dividends are taxed under different rules and carry different contributions, so combining them correctly has a real effect on the total burden. We analyse your profit and goals, then propose a salary-to-dividend split that stays fully legal while being efficient — always based on current legislation, without risky schemes.

Avoiding PL-UK double taxation

People with tax ties to Poland who run a UK company must carefully establish where, and on what, they pay tax. The double taxation treaty between Poland and the UK allows the same income to be settled only once. We determine tax residency, analyse the income structure, and choose an approach that ensures income from British activity is not taxed twice. We cover dealings with the authorities on our Settlements with Authorities page.

How we help

We begin with a diagnosis of the tax situation of the company and the director to identify obligations, risks, and possible savings. We then draw up a settlement plan and manage the matter on an ongoing basis — from documentation to contact with HMRC. If you are still planning your venture, see our offer on LTD Companies as well.
