CT600 filing - anyone heard anything on deadlines?

Wondering if anyone has been able to speak to HMRC and determine if there's leniency on late filing

Didn't find your answer?

We can delay filing of accounts at Companies House by 3 months, which is fair enough. However, several clients do like to withhold CT600s until the last possible day (I've no idea why, when they have to pay 3 months previous but that's clients for you). So this gives rise to some questions:

  1. Is anyone aware of whether the filing deadlines for CT600s remain rigidly fixed in stone or maybe we've had some guidance?
  2. Have HMRC suggested that filing late and claiming reasonable excuse - such as "the director couldn't sign the return because they're currently on a ventilator"? This assumes said director survives. After all, we shouldn't be filing returns without signatures and/or accounts.
  3. What are you going to do about it?

I've tried several times to speak with HMRC regarding this but, after 4mins 36 secs of listening to pre-recorded messages and selecting from various menus, you simply get "Sorry we can't deal with your call right now....Goodbye!".

I suspect I may have no worry about getting my hair cut by the end of this lock down
