Corporate Tax Return Filing Due Date

Hello, This year is the first time of my limited company to file the Corporate Tax Return. The business started on 20th Janurary 2023, the accounting period ended on 31st January 2024. According to HMRC Corporate Tax, filing a Company Tax Return is 12 months after your accounting period for Corporation Tax ends. It may have to file 2 tax returns to cover the period of your first accounts and also have 2 payment deadlines i.e. 1st tax return for the period from 20th January 2023 to 19th January 2024, and the 2nd one for the period from 20th January 2024 to 31st January 2024. Afterward, the accounting period will be 12 months from 20th January 2024. Is my understanding correct? What is the due date of my filing the 1st and 2nd Company Tax Return? Is it on or before 31st January 2025 (12 months after your accounting period for Corporation Tax ends) or 2024? Please help to provide advice. Thank you. Chris

Hi,
You advise that your first accouting period runs from 20/01/2023 to 19/01/2024 and second period runs 20/01/2024 to 31/01/2024.
Both periods will have the same filing date of 31/01/2025. The periods will then run from the 1st February to the 31st of January each year and have a filing date of 31st January of the next year.
Thankyou.

Thank you for your advice. Chris
