Simplified Tax Solutions

Corporation Tax Returns

We calculate and submit your company’s Corporation Tax return to HMRC, making sure you stay compliant and don’t pay a penny more than you need to.

Get It Right, Avoid Surprises, and Don’t Pay More Than You Should

Corporation Tax can be a major cost for limited companies — and a major worry if you’re unsure what to expect. At Welbourne & Co, we make the process straightforward by handling everything for you, giving you clarity and peace of mind.

We calculate your company’s Corporation Tax liability based on your year-end accounts and submit your return (CT600) to HMRC on your behalf. But we also take the time to explain your tax position, spot opportunities for savings, and help you plan ahead — so it’s not just about compliance, but confidence.

What’s Included

  • Preparation and submission of your Corporation Tax return (CT600)
  • Detailed tax calculation based on your company accounts
  • Review of allowable expenses and available reliefs
  • Proactive advice on reducing your future tax liability
  • Deadline reminders and HMRC correspondence handled
  • Full explanation of your tax bill in plain English

Smart, Stress-Free Tax Handling

We use cloud accounting tools to streamline the process and ensure accuracy. And because we’re keeping your bookkeeping and accounts in good order throughout the year, there are no last-minute scrambles or unexpected surprises.

You’ll always know:

  • How much Corporation Tax you owe
  • When it’s due
  • Why it’s that amount — explained clearly

Minimising Tax the Right Way

We don’t believe in aggressive schemes or risky loopholes. Instead, we help you make the most of what you’re legitimately entitled to — from allowable expenses and capital allowances to R&D tax relief (where applicable). Simple, effective, and fully compliant.

Local Expertise with a Personal Touch

Who we are

Welbourne & Co was founded in 2010 by Richard Welbourne with a simple idea: accountancy should be efficient, affordable, and genuinely helpful for business owners.

After years working in larger regional firms, Richard saw first-hand how traditional accountancy practices often came with hefty overheads and outdated systems. Determined to do things differently, he set up Welbourne & Co with a streamlined model—using smart technology instead of large offices, and passing those savings on to clients.
