CT600 tax return filing in Lees

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.

The largest groups of micro businesses in Oldham are wholesale and retail (1,425), construction (1,095) and professional, scientific and technical services (840).

That puts wholesale and retail at 21% of the local micro-business base.

Oldham ranks 539 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 88% is in line with the 89% average across them. In construction (1,095 micro businesses in Oldham), Construction Industry Scheme deductions, retentions and stage payments can distort profit, so we reconcile your CIS statements before the accounts are prepared. In professional, scientific and technical services (840 micro businesses in Oldham), 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.
