Tax payments and repayments

This section is accessed via the Data Input tab within the tax return and provides details of Corporation Tax payments and repayments.

Tax payments and repayments

  1. Enter the amount of Corporation Tax already paid by the company for the accounting period and not already repaid by HMRC.

  2. Enter the amount of tax refunds surrendered to the company by another group company under S963 of CTA 2010 or Regulation 9 of the Corporation Tax (Instalment Payments) Regulations 1998.

  3. Enter the minimum payment required to stop HMRC from making small repayment .‘Repayments’ include tax, payable credits, interest, and late-filing penalties or any combination of them. If a figure is entered here HMRC will not make any repayment to the company or any authorised nominee unless it is more than the limit chosen. Any amounts below the limit will be allocated against any other Corporation Tax liabilities, or if there are none, to a later accounting period. To surrender a tax refund under S963 CTA 2010 to another group company do not complete this authority but complete the following section.

The company must renew or change any authority given each time a Company Tax Return form is completed, even when two returns at the same time. This authority overrides any previous authority given, so if this figure is left blank HMRC will make any repayment arising subsequently, however small.
