Indicators and Information

For accounting periods ending on or before 31 March 2023, enter at Number of 51% group companies (including self) the total number of companies with which the company is associated. You should include the company itself, so the smallest number you can enter here is one. This information is used to populate box 39 of the company tax return CT600 (2008) or box 625 of the company tax return CT600 (2015).

Companies are associated if either one company controls the other or both companies are under common control.

If the company has received UK dividend income from companies which are not part of the same 51% group, then enter at Non-group UK dividends received the amount of dividend income received. Do not include notional tax attributable to the dividends. The information entered here will help to populate boxes 38 and 39 on the company tax return CT600 (2008) or boxes 620 and 625 on the company tax return CT600 (2015).

Select Company should have made instalment payments in the period if instalment payments were, or should have been, made. This will populate box 95 on page 5 of the company tax return CT600 (2008) or box 630 on the company tax return CT600 (2015).

Number of associated companies (excluding self) 

(Note: this row only appears for periods ending after 31 March 2023)

This information will be used to establish the apportioned main and small profits rates applicable to the company and to calculate any available marginal relief. You should not include the company itself, so enter nil for a company with no associates.

For accounting periods ending on or after 1 April 2023, large companies must complete this box with the number of associated companies at the end of the previous accounting period.

Instalment payments

Select Company should have made instalment payments in the period if instalment payments were, or should have been, made. This will populate box 95 on page 5 of the company tax return CT600 (2008) or box 630 on the company tax return CT600 (2015).
