CT600 and supplementary forms

NEW FORMS
CT600 (2026)
The new CT600 (2026) form has been added for all files (including Life and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT)) using the FY23, FY24 and FY25 computation templates. This latest version of the form will be available for new computations and will also replace the previous CT600 (2025) form when upgrading existing computation templates that haven’t been previously e-filed and locked.
In the unlikely event that you need to submit a FY22 or earlier return, please contact us for guidance.
CT600E (2026) – Charities and communities amateur sport clubs
The new CT600E (2026) supplementary form has been added to files using the FY25 computation template. The updated form tracks information regarding legacy income and the following changes have been made to support this:
  • A new ‘Legacy donor details’ sheet allows you to track details of legacy donors. This information flows to Page 4 of the CT600E
  • Information entered on the ‘Legacy donor details’ sheet also flows to the ‘Legacy income’ box on the
    Charities and community amateur sports clubs
    sheet in the computation and to a new box E88 on the CT600E.
For financial years prior to 2025 you should use the old CT600E form.
CT600L (2026) – Research and development
The new CT600L (2026) supplementary form has been added for all files using the FY23, FY24 and FY25 computation templates. This version will also replace the existing CT600L (2025) form when upgrading FY23, FY24, and FY25 computation templates, provided those computations haven’t previously been e-filed and locked.
The principal changes are:
  • Addition of new boxes L71, L71A, L72, L72A, L73, and L73A within the Step 3 – PAYE and National Insurance Contributions liability cap section, to support RDEC.
  • Update of legislative references at boxes L123 and L167 to reflect the new R&D rules introduced by Finance Act 2024.
  • Addition of boxes L72A and L73A to the PAYE references continuation sheet, extending its applicability to RDEC relief.
Box L75 workaround (FY24 and FY25 files)
We have been informed by HMRC that the workaround they introduced to deal with the form not being able to correctly support an RDEC claim where the tax credit cap exception applies is still in place for the CT600L (2026). The workaround is as follows:
"If you're claiming an exemption, make sure that the amount entered in box L75 equals the amount entered in box L70. This is so that the amount of step 3 restriction carried forward to the next accounting period in box L80 is '0'."
HMRC have said it will update the service in April 2027 to fix this issue.
Box L168 (FY24 and FY25 files)
The release notes accompanying our August 2024 release commented on an issue relating to box L168 and the tax credit cap for the Enhanced R&D intensive support scheme as follows, “The guidance doesn’t explain how the new legislation within CTA 2009 s1112C(2), relating to Steps 1, 2 and 3, aligns with these existing CT600 boxes. Currently, any amount you enter as a Step 3 amount doesn't link to the CT600L.”
The most logical treatment for a “Step 3” negative amount is to net it off the “Step 1” amount. The CT600L (2026) box L168 has now been updated to reflect this change. We have yet to receive a response from HMRC on the matter and will update the software accordingly if required.
FY23 files
HMRC efiling specification confirms that box L71 and box L71A should not be completed for periods starting before 1 April 2024. HMRC have also confirmed to us separately that new boxes L72 to L73A are also not required for periods starting before 1 April 2024. For FY23 computation templates, which start before 1 April 2024, the CT600L (2026) form does therefore not contain any new links from the computation for these boxes.
CT600P (2026) – Creative industries
The new CT600P (2026) supplementary form for creative industries supports efiling for the old creative industry relief scheme and the new creative expenditure credit regime. The new CT600P (2026) supplementary form has been added for all files using the FY23, FY24 and FY25 computation templates.
To populate the new CT600P, we have added new
Creative expenditure credit – return information
and
Creative expenditure credit group relief surrendered
sheets for the new creative expenditure credit regime and a new
Creative tax credit – return information
sheet for the old creative industry relief regime.
The two return information sheets gather information from the creative industry computation sheets to populate the CT600P. No further data entry should be required on these sheets, but they must be developed into the file to populate the CT600P correctly. You will be prompted in the calculation to do this.
The
Creative expenditure credit group relief surrendered
sheet will need to be populated if relevant.
HMRC efiling validation issue - £1 loss surrender must be entered
HMRC are aware of an issue with one of the e-filing validations within the CT600P. If the company has a creative trade, is claiming under the 'enhanced deduction' regime (not the expenditure credit regime), and is not surrendering any of its surrenderable loss, then the return won’t currently be accepted. HMRC have stated that in this scenario, a £1 must be entered in column D on the last page of the CT600P to allow the return to be accepted and have confirmed that this won’t affect the validity of the claim.
We have added a validation error to the
Payable tax credits
sheet to show an error if this scenario is relevant. The error can be cleared by entering a £1 surrender on this sheet. Note that the £1 will not flow into the rest of the computation schedules.
Independent film tax credits regime
If you are claiming the independent film tax credit and you are in a situation where your ‘UK expenditure’ is greater than your ‘Global expenditure’ (which we believe is possible in some rare scenarios) then the CT600P won’t e-file without validation errors. We have emailed HMRC with regards to this.

NEW SCHEMA v1.994

We have updated 2023 templates onwards to use the latest HMRC Schema.
The following changes have been made to FY25 only, unless stated otherwise.

CORPORATION TAX

CAPITALISED INTEREST

Capitalised interest on tangible fixed assets
If the
Loan relationship and derivatives
sheet is present in a file, a new column ‘Capitalised interest’ will display on the
Additions analysis
sheet for tangible fixed assets. Allocating an amount of capitalised interest to this column inserts a new row into the relevant ‘Trade’ or ‘Non-trade’ section of the
Loan relationships and derivatives
sheet, bringing the amount into account as a loan relationship debit.
NOTE: When the FRS102 or IFRS tax accounting sheets are present in a file with capitalised interest, a manual entry is required on the
Proof of tax
to match the equal and opposite entries within the ‘Tangible fixed assets’ and ‘Loan relationships section’. Alternatively, a reallocation can now be made on the
Comparison on CT and DT movements through the I/S
sheet (refer to ‘Comparison of CT and DT movements through I/S – reallocations’ section below in the Tax Accounting section for further details).

CHARGEABLE GAINS

Roll over relief and holdover relief - new sheets
We have added two sheets to deal with rollover relief and holdover relief. The purpose of the sheets is to track the assets that disposal proceeds have been reinvested in. The
Rollover relief
sheet shows the movement in base cost (for when the asset is subsequently disposed of) and cost capacity (to ensure that the proceeds reinvested in the asset don’t exceed the asset's acquisition cost). The
Holdover relief
sheet shows the movement in gains held over into the asset and cost capacity.
Where a figure has been entered in the 'Proceeds reinvested in non-depreciating assets' or 'Proceeds reinvested in depreciating assets' rows on the
Chargeable disposal
sheet, the proceeds together with the deferred gain will flow into the 'Reconciliation' section of the
Rollover relief
and
Holdover relief
sheets, to be allocated amongst the assets.
On the
Rollover relief
sheet, when an asset is subsequently disposed of, the reduction in base cost should be manually entered into the 'Less gains rolled in (-)' row on the Chargeable disposal sheet. On the
Holdover relief
sheet, when a gain crystallises, it should be shown in the 'Gains crystallising in the period (-)' column; this inserts a row on the
Chargeable gains summary
sheet, bringing through the total crystallised gains.

CORPORATE INTEREST RESTRICTION (CIR)

CIR validations firing in non-CIR group module
The ‘Following areas don’t match: Corporate interest restriction/reactivation. Update required' error message on the
Group member
sheet will now only appear if the CIR sheets have been inserted.
CIR company: land remediation relief - capital v revenue
The following changes have been made to the
Corporate interest restriction - values
sheet to improve the understanding of Tax-EBITDA adjustments relating to Land remediation:
  • Clarified wording for the existing row to reflect that the automated adjustment relates only to the uplift. The wording is now "Land remediation relief (uplift) - s407(3)(d)"
  • New data entry row added for you to enter the capital element of the land remediation adjustment "Land remediation relief (capital) - s407(3)(d)". It is not possible without significant changes to the underlying
    Land remediation
    sheet to automate the adjustment for the capital element in all scenarios.

FINANCE ACT 2026 CHANGES

CIR - tax-EBITDA (FA 2026 s62)
A new data entry row has been added to the tax-EBITDA section of the
Corporate interest restriction - values
sheet for ‘Capital expenditure deducted under a relevant enactment - s407(1)(b)’ introduced by Finance Act 2026 s62. The same row has been added to the
UK group companies - summary
sheet in the group file.
New FYA 40% introduced for main pool (FA 2026 s29)
A 40% first-year allowance has been announced for qualifying expenditure incurred on plant or machinery on or after 1 January 2026. Changes have been made throughout the tangible fixed asset and capital allowances sheets to allow you to claim this allowance.
Negative visual effects credit (VFX) claim treatment (FA 2026 s33)
Finance Act 2026 s33 confirms how to treat a negative visual effects credit claim from 26 November 2025 onwards. We have updated the
Creative expenditure credit
sheet as follows:
Positive VFX claims - accounting periods beginning before or after 26 November 2025:
  • A positive additional VFX credit goes to the ‘Additional visual effects expenditure credit’ row on the
    Creative expenditure credit
    sheet and into the ‘Additional credit for visual effects for this accounting period’ column on the
    Creative expenditure credit - return information
    sheet.
Negative VFX claims - accounting periods before 26 November 2025:
  • A negative additional VFX credit doesn’t appear on the
    Creative expenditure credit
    sheet and is not taken into account in the ‘Expenditure credit claimed for this accounting period (excluding additional credit for visual effects)’ on the
    Creative expenditure credit - return information
    sheet.
Negative VFX claims - accounting periods after 26 November 2025:
  • A negative additional VFX credit is separated out onto the ‘Remove negative VFX amount from creative expenditure credit’ row on
    Creative expenditure credit
    sheet and is taken into account in the ‘Expenditure credit claimed for this accounting period (excluding additional credit for visual effects)’ column on the
    Creative expenditure credit - return information
    sheet.
Non-qualifying expenditure on transition from Video games tax relief (VGTR) to Video games expenditure credit (VGEC) (FA 2026 s32)
Finance Act 2026 s32 confirms how step 2 of the VGEC calculation should be applied where the company has claimed VGTR on the same video game in an earlier accounting period. When using the
Creative expenditure credit
sheet in such a scenario, you should ensure that the amount of expenditure being deducted at step 2 is in line with the amended legislation.

FOREIGN INCOME COST ALLOCATION

Foreign trading income cost allocation s44 - new sheet
We have added a new sheet
Foreign income - allocation of s44 amounts
. This optional sheet can be used where there are foreign trading income and costs that need allocating against that income in line with s44(3) TIOPA 2010. The sheet allows for the following:
  • Deductions and expenses to be apportioned by income
  • Deductions and expenses to be apportioned on some other basis
  • Other direct deductions and expenses
The total amounts allocated to each item of foreign trading income will feed back into the
Foreign income
sheet.
Optional group sheets - roll forward
Any optional sheets inserted into a group file are now automatically rolled forward. Note, return forms are not rolled forward. This change has also been made for FY24.

INTANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS (IFA)

Brought forward and carry forward columns added to IFA summary sheets
We have added ‘Allowable (+) / taxable (-) amount b/f’ and ‘Allowable (+) / taxable (-) amount c/f’ columns to the
IFA summary
sheets to allow you to specify income statement amounts relating to IFAs (that are not covered by the existing IFA analysis sheets) which are taxable or allowable in a period different to the period in which they are recognised in the income statement.
‘Cannot be negative’ validation updated for the TWDV c/f column on the Allowable per accounts sheet
On the
Allowable per accounts
sheet, the validation preventing the TWDV carried forward from being negative has been amended so that it will no longer show an error if the NBV carried forward is also negative. This allows the sheet to be used to track movements in negative goodwill.

LOSSES

Override automation of miscellaneous losses offset against miscellaneous income
If you have brought forward miscellaneous losses and current period miscellaneous income, you can now override the default loss utilisation on the
Loss summary
sheet if required, for example if the brought forward losses and the current period income are of a different nature.

TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

Capital allowance movements sheet – new row for Structures and buildings acquired (used)
Previously, where an amount was entered into the ‘Acquired (used)’ column in the ‘Structures and buildings allowances’ section of the
Additions analysis
sheet, the relevant amount didn’t link to the
Capital allowance movement
sheet. We have added a new row for ‘Structures and buildings - acquired (used)’ to the
Capital allowance movement
sheet where you can enter the tax value of the asset. Note, as this value may be different to its balance sheet value, the new row is data entry.
Structures and buildings allowances sheet - qualifying expenditure column correction
We have corrected a formula issue that previously linked the ‘Expenditure per accounts’ value of an ‘Acquired (used)’ building from the
Additions analysis
sheet to the ‘Qualifying expenditure’ column on the
Structures and buildings allowances
sheet.
Now, when you enter an amount in the ‘Acquired (used)’ column on the
Additions analysis
sheet for structures and buildings, a row will still be inserted into
the Structures and buildings allowances
sheet, but this value is no longer automatically linked. The ‘Qualifying expenditure’ cell is now data entry and should be completed manually. This change has been made for FY24 and FY25.

TAX PAYMENTS AND INTEREST

‘Number of months’ corrected for periods ending 28th or 29th February
Where a company has an accounting period for the year ended 28th February (or 29th in a leap year), the ‘Number of months’ is now shown correctly for the purposes of calculating instalment payments.
Quarterly instalments – correction for payments made 9 months 1 day after period end
We have corrected an issue on the
Tax payments and interest
sheet, where an instalment payment made nine months and one day after the period end was being double counted in the 'Amounts overpaid / underpaid' table.
Ring fence instalment payments – correction of interest rate applying 9 months 1 day after period end
Where interest is payable or receivable on overpaid or underpaid ring fence instalments payments, the interest rate applying will now switch from the instalment payment rate to the standard rate from nine months and one day after the end of the accounting period.

TRANSFER PRICING

Updates to transfer pricing adjustments pushed down from group module
We have updated the
Loan relationships
sheet to ensure that transfer pricing adjustments in respect of trading loan relationships show correctly when pushed down from the group module. Changes have been made to FY24 and FY25.

UNPAID ROYALTIES

Unpaid royalties - new sheet for tracking amounts accrued and paid
A new sheet for
Unpaid royalties
has been added to deal with royalties that are subject to s851 CTA 2009, i.e. royalties that are only tax-deductible when paid. The figures flow to the tax accounting sheets as appropriate.

GROUP

GROUP DEDUCTIONS ALLOWANCE STATEMENT

Group deductions allowance statement
A new set of optional
Group deductions allowance statement
sheets have been added to the Group module. Developing this statement inserts the following sheets:
  • BA - Group deductions allowance statement: This sheet captures the nominated company details and confirms the total ‘Group deductions allowance’ available for allocation for the period, including a formal declaration to be signed by the authorised person.
  • BA1 - Group deductions allowance allocation: This sheet details the ‘Group deductions allowance’ across group companies, including UTRs, accounting periods, and allocated amounts.
  • BA2 - Joiners and leavers: This sheet records companies that joined or left the group during the nominated company's accounting period and includes join and leave dates.
NOTE: Only one
Group deductions allowance statement
is permitted, you can create multiple group calculations if required.

SIMPLIFIED GROUP ARRANGEMENTS STATEMENT

Simplified group arrangements statement
We have added a
Simplified arrangements group statement
to capture the authorised company details and support claims under the ‘Simplified arrangements for group relief’, including a declaration confirming the accuracy and completeness of the statement.
The display of entities within the sheet is controlled via the ‘Simplified arrangements apply?’ dropdown.
Additional print options included:
  • GRSA - All - Prints the GRSA statement, Group relief matrix and Carry forward losses matrix
  • GRSA - Group relief - Prints the GRSA statement and the Group relief matrix only
  • GRSA - Carry forward - Prints the GRSA statement and the Carry forward losses matrix only

ONESOURCE TAX PROVISION INTEGRATION

TAX PROVISON LINKAGE SHEETS
A new set of
L sheets
titled ‘ONESOURCE Tax Provision integration’ are now available for insertion, supporting integration with ONESOURCE Tax Provision. The following sheets have been introduced:
  • L – Profit to tax reconciliation
  • L1 – Permanent differences
  • L2 – Temporary differences
  • L3 – Tax Loss temporary differences
  • L4 – After‑tax permanent differences
  • L5 – After‑tax temporary differences
  • L6 – Codes
  • L7 – Code configuration
A
Quick Reference Guide
has been added to the UK tax help page, explaining how these schedules work and how they interact with other areas of the calculation.
In addition to the new sheets, enhancements have been made to the
Computational reconciliation per taxonomy
sheet:
  • A new selector, ‘Display permanent and temporary difference allocation columns?’, becomes available once the L sheets are inserted and defaults to Yes.
  • When enabled, four new columns are displayed: Permanent difference, Temporary difference, Permanent difference code, and Temporary difference code.
  • You can allocate permanent and temporary difference amounts directly within this sheet.
  • The difference code columns automatically populate based on the configuration defined in the
    L7 – Code configuration
    sheet.
  • The relevant L1–L5 sheets automatically populate the ‘Movement in period’ column based on the allocated amounts and codes.
  • Alternatively, you may continue to enter figures directly into the L1–L5 sheets if preferred.

TAX ACCOUNTING

TAX ACCOUNTING - INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

New Investment property sheet and Indexation sheets
We have added a new
Investment property
sheet and supporting
Indexation allowance
sheet for FY25 tax accounting files under both IFRS and FRS102.
These sheets help calculate the potential gain or loss arising on your investment properties and then track the deferred tax impact of that throughout your tax accounting calculations.
The sheet can be developed using the ‘Insert’ sheet functionality and multiple
Investment property
sheets can be developed into your file. You can insert columns on the sheet to track multiple investment properties on one sheet if you prefer.
You should enter the relevant NBV information such as NBV brought forward, additions, revaluations into the ‘Deemed consideration’ section of the sheet. The information entered in this section will flow to the
Tangible fixed asset analysis
sheet in a separate column.
In the ‘Cost’ section you should enter the acquisition cost of the property. If you need to calculate any indexation on the base cost, you can insert the
Indexation allowance
sheet and populate that accordingly. You can develop the
Indexation allowance
sheet by using the ‘Insert’ button, but you must do that from the column that you are wishing to support on the
Investment property
sheet.
The
Investment property
sheet will then calculate the potential gain or loss arising on the investment properties.
Under FRS102, the gain or loss will flow to the
Gross timing differences
sheet and under IFRS the market value and indexed cost will flow to the
Tax basis balance sheet
into the carrying value and tax base columns respectively.
As mentioned above, the NBV amounts will also flow to the
Tangible fixed asset analysis
sheet. Due to the way that sheet interacts with the figures flowing from the computation and the complexities if the investment property is also claiming structures and buildings allowances, you may find you need to make some manual adjustments to the
Tangible fixed asset analysis
in the following circumstances:
Non qualifying amounts
  • For both IFRS and FRS102, if the investment property is treated as a non-qualifying addition or disposal on the you will need to remove the amount flowing to the ‘Non qualifying’ column to avoid double counting. The cells are editable to allow you to do this, however you must change them to a value (i.e. £0) rather than just deleting the figures.
Structures and buildings - FRS102
  • If the investment property is also claiming SBAs and the ‘Structures and buildings - calculate timing difference?’ selector is set to No, you will need to remove the additions and disposal amounts flowing to the “Structures and buildings allowances” column. The cells are editable to allow you to do this, however you must change them to a value (i.e. £0) rather than just deleting the figures.
  • If the investment property is also claiming SBAs and the ‘Structures and buildings - calculate timing difference?’ selector is set to Yes, you will need to reverse out the TWDV of the investment property in the TWDV section on the
    Tangible fixed asset analysis realised through use
    sheet. We have added a data entry row called ‘Remove capital gains timing differences on SBA investment properties’ to that sheet to help you.
Structures and buildings - IFRS
  • If the investment property is also claiming SBAs then you will need to remove the ‘Structures and buildings allowances’ values at the bottom of the
    Tax basis balance sheet
    . We have added a row called ‘Structures and buildings allowances – remove TWDV if held for sale’ that you can use to do this.
Going forward we are looking to make further enhancements to the investment property functionality particularly where the investment properties are also claiming SBAs and hope to be able to simplify some of the entries detailed above.

TAX ACCOUNTING – OTHER CHANGES

FRS102 and IFRS

Comparison of CT and DT movements through I/S – reallocations between columns
A new selector has been added to the
Comparison of CT and DT movements through I/S
sheet.
When ticked, this selector allows you to:
  • display all the analysis columns, and
  • reallocate amounts between columns, giving greater flexibility when netting current and deferred tax movements.
Additionally, the
Proof of tax
sheet has been updated so that if the total of an analysis column (eg Fixed assets) on the
Comparison of CT and DT movements through I/S
sheet nets to nil, no reconciling items rows will show in that section (eg Fixed assets) on the Proof of tax. Previously, some adjustments posted to the
Proof of tax
independently to the
Comparison of CT and DT movements through I/S
sheet even when the total of an analysis column on the
Comparison of CT and DT movements through I/S
was £nil, which meant sometimes manual contra entries were then required on the
Proof of tax
by the user.
Prior year adjustment calculation sheet – ‘Adjustments’ column no longer freezes
The ‘Adjustments’ column will no longer freeze when the ‘Freeze tax accounting sheets?’ selector is switched to ‘Yes’. This allows late changes to be made to the ‘Final tax accounting figures’ where necessary. As best practice, we recommend unfreezing the tax accounting sheets to make changes where possible; however, this column may be used where unfreezing is not feasible. Please note that if adjustments made in this column affect closing or carry-forward balances, these may need to be manually reflected elsewhere in the sheets.
Prior year adjustment calculation sheet – difference in profit/ (loss) can be allocated to analysis column
If there is a difference between the Profit/(loss) per accounts in the final tax accounting figures and the tax computation figures, the resulting difference can be allocated to a dedicated column and therefore create a current year tax charge/credit.
Tangible and intangible fixed asset analysis sheets – updates to allow adjustments to b/f figures where necessary
We have added in a new row ‘NBV b/f per computation’ to the ‘Analysis for final tax computation’ section.
This new row picks up the ‘NBV b/f per computation’ figures from the ‘Analysis for tax accounting’ section as the starting point, however the cells on the new row are editable so that they can be changed if the NBV b/f per computation figures have changed since the tax accounting section figures been finalised and frozen.
We have also added an ‘Adjustments’ row in the ‘Analysis for tax accounting’ section. This new row can be used to make any adjustments to the opening NBV per computation figures. For the
Prior year adjustment
calculation
sheet to work optimally, it is best for any fixed asset changes between the tax accounting stage and the tax computation stage to be made in the prior year file, but this new ‘Adjustments’ row has been added for situations when it is not possible to amend the prior year file.

FRS102 only

Indexation sheet– information now rolls forward
We have updated the
Indexation
sheet that supports the revaluation calculations under FRS102 so that all the information entered on the sheet rolls forward. to the following period. These sheets calculate the potential capital gain or loss should the property be sold, therefore the information needs to roll forward until the property is sold and the information is no longer required. This is obviously different to in a chargeable disposal in a computation where the gain or loss is calculated solely in the year of disposal.
Revaluations sheet - updates to display and behaviour of selectors
We have changed the selector ‘Show timing differences calculations’ on the Revaluations sheet to ‘Print timing differences calculations’. This selector will default to ‘Yes’ to ensure that all the relevant information in respect of the revaluation timing differences can be reviewed easily. You can switch the selector to ‘No’ if you would prefer not to print these sections.
We have also updated the behaviour and display of some of the sections on the revaluations sheet. When you are choosing which option you would like to use i.e. how the revaluation timing differences are allocated between the income statement and OCI, if you choose ‘Option 3’ now - which is for manually allocating the amounts between I/S and OCI - then the data entry section for ‘Option 3’ will now automatically show so that you can refer to the relevant cells that you will need to populate. These cells will show regardless of whether you previously set the ‘Show timing differences options’ to ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. It will also automatically change the ‘Show timing differences?’ selector to ‘Yes’ for you if it hasn't already been changed.
If Option 1 or 2 are chosen the ‘Show timing differences options’ selector will stay at ‘No’ and you won't refer to those sections until the ‘Show timing differences options’ selector is set to ‘Yes’.
You can find more information on the differences between Options 1, 2 and 3 in the help system.
Tangible fixed asset analysis sheet - display of SBA column
We have updated the display of the ‘Structures and buildings’ column on the
Fixed asset analysis sheet
in the FRS102 tax accounting sheets to ensure it is always visible when required, in particular if it is necessary to enter opening NBV amounts.
If the computation doesn’t include a
Structures and buildings allowances
sheet then the ‘Structures and buildings’ column is hidden on the
Fixed asset analysis sheet
, regardless of whether the ‘Structures and buildings - calculate timing difference?' selector is ‘Yes’ or ‘No’.
If the Structures and buildings allowances sheet is present in the computation, then:
  • if the ‘Structures and buildings - calculate timing difference?’ selector is ‘Yes’; the column displays and prints in final if populated
  • if the ‘Structures and buildings - calculate timing difference?’ selector is ‘No’, the column is hidden

IFRS only

Temporary differences sheet – removed validation errors for deferred tax not provided columns
In response to feedback, we have removed the validation errors on the
Temporary differences
sheet that stopped you entering an amount not recognised greater than the temporary difference. This was due to feedback that there may be instances whereby you have a mixture of gains and losses that make up a temporary difference therefore the validation could fire incorrectly depending on your circumstance.

LIFE

Allow for taxable non-BLAGAB trading profits in a mutual life company
The non-BLAGAB business of a mutual life assurance society is usually exempt from corporation tax. However, it is possible for a mutual to have a taxable non-BLAGAB business. Because of this, we have added a new 'Taxable non-BLAGAB' option to the business category dropdown on the Adjustment of profit sheet. This new option treats these business profits/losses in the same way as non-BLAGAB profits/loss are treated in a proprietary life assurance company.

AUTHORISED INVESTMENT TRUST AND INVESTMENT TRUST

New Property income distributions sheet
A new
Property income distributions
sheet has been added for both Investment Trusts and Authorised Investment Funds. This allows this type of income to be included within either a UK or Overseas property trade as well as accrued for different periods.

OTHER CORRECTIONS AND UPDATES

Account disclosures sheet - deferred tax not recognised
We have updated the formula in this section to ensure that all the rows get picked up from the
Net timing differences
sheet. We had spotted that in some cases the formula in the ‘Losses’, ‘Gains’ or ‘Revaluations / fair value’ rows were not being picked up, particularly if the ‘Other’ rows were used on the
Gross timing differences
sheet.
Audit trail updates
Additional cells have been flagged to appear in the calculation ‘History’ when amended, including:
  • Adjustment of profit
    • Business name
    • Business type
    • Type of trade
    • Commencement of business (if in current period)
    • Cessation of business
  • television or film production company [Creative industry specific]
    • Investment business
    • Business type
    • Commencement of business (if in current period)
    • Cessation of business
  • Return information
    • Type of CT return form
CT600A Form Box A45
We have updated Box A45 to ensure it only displays a positive value. Previously this was pulling through a negative value.
CT600C updates for simplified arrangements
Box C25 on CT600C will now only be ticked if there is a claim and the company is within simplified group arrangements.
We have also updated the CT600C continuation sheets to ensure amounts show correctly when the company is within a simplified arrangement.
CT600M - new investment zone added
A new ‘Investment Zone’, Flintshire and Wrexham, has been added to the
Freeport and investment zones - Expenditure and allowances
sheet. This change has been made for FY24 and FY25.
Carried forward losses sheet – print updates
We have updated the
Carried forward losses
sheet so that the sheet won’t print in review or final if the company has no profits flowing into the 'Total profits' row.
Combined analysis sheet and Investment business sheet
We have updated the
Combined analysis
sheet to ensure that all rows insert correctly on the
Investment business
sheet. This change has been made for FY24 and FY25.
Company is a partner in a firm Declaration
The declaration that a Company is a partner in a firm will now always print in final on the P sheet. This change has been made for FY24 and FY25.
Connected person capital losses carried forward correction
We have corrected a bug on the
Connected person
sheet, which prevented the ‘Losses carried forward’ from rolling forward correctly to the following period.
Group module data transfer- R&D expenditure credit
We have corrected the signage of the RDEC ‘Step 2’ offset’, ‘RDEC ‘Step 1’ offset’ and ‘RDEC ‘Step 6’ offset’ cells on the
Group module data transfer
sheet to ensure those amounts flow to the group module correctly, in particular the
Group tax payments
sheet.
Group relief profit and loss information sheet correction
Companies will now only appear in the
Group relief profit and loss information
sheet if 'Include in module?' has been ticked in the group relief section of the
Group member
sheet.
Group relief payments - figures now showing correctly for multiple accounting periods
We have fixed an issue where group relief amounts were not showing correctly on the
Payments for Relief
sheet (FRS102 and IFRS) when multiple accounting periods were present. The update ensures the correct amounts are shown for all periods. Headings have also been updated so that long accounting periods display the full period end date, improving clarity and consistency.
Income and expenses efiling analysis sheet - corrections to ‘Trading income’ subtotal
We have updated the ‘Trading income’ subtotal so that it only includes rows tagged as Trading income under the DPL taxonomy. This change has been made for the FY24 and FY25 templates.
Loss summary sheet corrections
The
Loss summary
sheet now brings in oil ring fence capital losses, showing the opening and closing balances and the movement in the period.
We have corrected an issue where, for oil ring fence companies with multiple trades, ring fence profits and gains were being double counted at the bottom of the
Loss summary
sheet. We have also improved the display of the oil ring fence profits/losses section at the bottom of this sheet.
Prior year adjustment calculations
Under FRS 102, any differences on this sheet relating to Qualifying donations are now allocated to "Timing differences – non‑trading" by default rather than "Fixed assets".
Proof of tax - updated display formulae for the ‘Other’ rows
We have updated the display formula for the "Other" rows on the Proof of tax in the tax accounting sheets to ensure they will always print if they have values in them.
SBA capital gains timing differences sheet – ‘Group by’ functionality
We have added the "Group by" functionality to the SBA timing differences sheet in the tax accounting sheets.
‘Mixed currency’ formula errors
We have updated the
Utilisation of RDEC
sheet to operate in foreign currency without triggering mixed‑currency validation errors.
We have added formatting to resolve the mixed‑currency error on the REIT
Return Information
sheet. This change has been made for the FY24 and FY25 templates.
Movement in deferred tax assets / liabilities - formula updates on ‘Provision at start of period’ row
We have corrected the formula in the ‘Intangible fixed assets’ and ‘Creative expenditure credit - step 2 restriction’ columns on the ‘Provision at start of period’ row on the
Movement in deferred tax assets/liabilities
sheet, so they refer to the correct corresponding cells in the ‘Opening per accounts’ column on the
Tax account
sheet.

TAGGING, IMPORTING AND REPORTING

TAGGING
XBRL tagging of boxes 350-360 and 400-410
We have added XBRL tags for boxes 350–360 and 400–410 to support profits taxed at the second rate for the FY24 and FY25 templates, ensuring correct tagging for ring‑fence and policyholder profit calculations.
