Corporation Tax
Report
All limited companies have to prepare Corporation Tax returns and pay Corporation Tax. Failure to do so can result in heavy penalties from HM Revenue & Customs.
We ensure that your Returns are prepared accurately and on time.
When we prepare Corporation Tax returns for our clients we make sure that every allowable expense is included to minimise the amount of tax due. We will also advise on the best way to use the various reliefs available to further minimise the tax bill.
We make sure you know when your return is due, how much your company has to pay and when to pay it.
Our software will produce your accounts and Corporation Tax Returns in the iXBRL format required for online filing by HM Revenue & Customs. We do this so you don’t have to.

James at Accountancy Edge has completed all our company accounts for the last few years since we started in 2019 in Devon. He has always impressed with his diligence & attention to detail in our accounting and he has provided suitable sensible advice when growing plans are afoot. The C19 closures, grants and postcode restrictions coupled to RSA claims have kept us all busy but James takes it in his stride. It has been a pleasure working with him and i look forward to many more years.

I have used Jame's service for almost 8 years, and he has carried out Payroll, VAT Returns, Self Assessment, Pension and general accountancy advice to a very high standard. Always prompt and courteous, with a high level of competence. I look forward to continuing using his services in the future and highly recommend. Regards Robert Coggin CEO. [cleaning expert obviously]

James has been my accountant now for many years and is always friendly, efficient and professional. My work is primarily online so having an accountant that understands what it is I do is essential, his own online presence is what set him apart from other accountants in the first place. Can't recommend highly enough.

James is a sharp and 'on the ball' accountant. He is much more than a just a number cruncher, he challenges you to think about your business and how it can be improved. You can be certain that James has considered all options and any decisions he makes will have your best interests at the fore. A friendly approachable professional.

I work in education and social media. James is one of the few people who thoroughly understands that world and its idiosyncrasies. He is uber efficient and thoroughly reliable. He is fluent in his use and understanding of email and internet, which, in my case is vital as it saves so much time. He has done my accounts for several years now and before that I was struggling with a string of accountants. I cannot recommend him highly enough

Professional and knowledgeable company who are courteous and efficient. We had many issues with past dealings with accountants who were expensive and elusive. We find Accountancy Edge are always fair with their fees and offer a fixed fee for some services as well. We were kept very well informed at all times without any nasty surprises and always felt as though any communication wasn't being timed!

James at Accountancy Edge has done my companies accounts for the last few years and I am always impressed with his diligence & attention to detail. He is also always available to provide advice when suggesting ideas and plans. That way I can ensure that I am setting myself up the best and most tax efficient way! Give James a call, and if you sign up as a client he also gives to charity!

James has supported me through my first year of trading as a limited company, and has been a valuable, concise and responsive source of advice during this sometimes stressful period. I have always felt confident in James’ expertise and appreciate his clear and direct style. I would happily recommend James and Accountancy Edge to anyone looking for a diligent and supportive accountant.
