CT600 tax return filing in Ilford

CT600 filing for Ilford limited companies

The CT600 is the company tax return form. It is filed online and has to be accompanied by the full statutory accounts and a tax computation in iXBRL format. Filing the CT600 with HMRC is a separate duty from filing accounts at Companies House, even though most companies deal with both in the same week.

Ilford is in the Redbridge council area, in the London region. Redbridge has around 15,540 VAT- and PAYE-registered businesses, and 14,620 of them, about 94%, have fewer than ten employees (ONS UK Business Counts, 2026). That is the group the micro-entity rules were written for.

The largest groups of micro businesses in Redbridge are construction (2,680), wholesale and retail (2,340) and professional, scientific and technical services (2,160).

Redbridge ranks 163 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 94% is above the 89% average across them. In wholesale and retail (2,340 micro businesses in Redbridge), closing stock and the VAT treatment of different product lines are the usual pressure points, so we value stock carefully and check your VAT records. In professional, scientific and technical services (2,160 micro businesses in Redbridge), fee income, work in progress at the year end and how directors are paid are the key decisions, so we plan these with you before the accounts are finalised.
