I have completed my first CT600 and submitted to HMRC, got a sucessfully submitted message followed by an auto email to say it had been received. Weeks have gone by and I thought I would check on line and pay the tax owed. Nothing there and never looks like anything has been submitted.
I have now decided to submit again but going through the Accounts service and completing using Micro-entities. There are lots of boxes and I am not sure if I am doing this correctly. It's asking for balance sheet information which I have already done through Companies house.
Should I just re-submit without using the accounts services or ixbrl?
I think looking at it now it wasn't completed properly. I have started again and ticked different boxes. I have got right to the end now and am unsure about the accounting notes.
I have completed the notes for Accounting Policies but it is also asking for notes on Called up Share Capital and Profit and Loss. I have no idea about this as I have never done final accounts before.
Hi
I dont do anything passed Trial Balance as I am just a bookkeeper. Saying that - my understanding is that the notes for the accounts have statutory guidelines and must be done correctly or it can mean they are rejected (by companies House at least). Worth a look on HMRC and Companies House for any appropriate wording but being mindful of having used the appropriate accounting principles and rules for the different turnover bands, eg small companies regime etc. Sorry cant help more with that one.
But I would urge once again that you check with HMRC Corporation Tax team before you submit for a second time. It is worth waiting until Monday to put that call out otherwise imagine the mess if they get two lots submitted.

Thoughts are my own/not to be regarded as official advice,which should be sought from a suitably qualified Accountant.
You should check out answers with reference to the legal position
Agreed with Jo. Ring first. I've had clients unable to see the liability before, but the return was fine.
Have you had a look in "tax years" - you will need to drop down and select the previous tax year, as you will see this current one now. What does it say in that section?
Apparently my company is still showing as inactive yet I have written on the letter sent to me the date i contacted HMRC to tell them I was trading and the company was active.
They can see the return but it is not showing on my account.
I am waiting for a call back from someone to tell me the account is now active.
Only a few days to the deadline and was kept waiting on the phone for 25mins!!
If you submit again it may well get rejected anyway as you have to tick the box to say 'amended' when resubmitting.
As long as you have your submission receipt you should be fine. HMRC should automatically update the correct dates when you submit for the first time, although I have often had to tell them to update their records.
