Legislative & Compliance Updates
Associated Companies
For Accounting Periods starting on or after 1st April 2023, changes were introduced for completion of Box 326 on the CT600. Box 326 is to be used for reporting the number of Associated Companies and is only completed in the following conditions:
- Large or Very Large companies for the purposes of QIPs
- Companies claiming marginal relief.
- Companies using small profits rate.
Box 326 is to be completed with the maximum number for associated companies in the Accounting Period for those claiming Marginal Relief or the small profits rate.
Note: For large or very large companies, it is the number of associates at the beginning of period that is to be used when populating box 326
For periods straddling 31st March 2023, we have introduced Box 326 override for Large / very large companies; this is to be used where the number of associates brought forward differs from the number of 51% companies brought forward.
If the number of associated companies brought forward is 0 select the tick if nil checkbox.
Note: Where a company pays tax by instalments, the number of associates is calculated using the number of associates brought forward at the start of the Accounting period. For such companies do not populate the entries for new/leaving companies
