The figures shown on the accounts do not coincide with what I have inserted.

Thanks for getting in touch. I've had a look at your submission and can see the accounts were generated successfully.

Could you help me understand the issue by letting me know:

1. Which specific figures don't match what you entered? (e.g., turnover, balance sheet items)

2. What values did you enter vs what values are showing in the accounts?

A screenshot highlighting the discrepancy would be really helpful if possible. If you have one please email to hello@tinytax.co.uk

Hi, Tim
In the filleted accounts as well as full account,
In the balance sheet section it shows:
Creditors < one year theres £1851 instead of £1352.49 hence wrong profit. Ive paid HMRC £498.61-tax plus 0.55-charge. Im confused to why did I receive an email from tinytax saying that I still owe HMRC £2.95 when the tax is £499 and I paid £499.11. Can you please double check the figures.

Thanks for the details - I can now see what's happened.

1. Creditors figure (£1,851 vs £1,352.49)

This is correct. In the accounts, "Creditors due within one year" includes both your trade creditors AND the corporation tax you owe to HMRC. Your trade creditors (£1,352.49) plus the tax payable (~£499) gives the £1,851 shown. This is standard accounting practice.

2. The two tax emails

Your accounting period was 367 days (27 Feb 2024 to 28 Feb 2025), which is just over 12 months. HMRC requires periods over 12 months to be split into two separate CT600 returns. This is why you received two acceptance emails:

- Period 1 (to 26 Feb 2025): £495.71 tax

- Period 2 (27-28 Feb 2025): £2.85 tax

- Total: £498.56

You paid £499.11, so you've actually overpaid by about 55p. HMRC will either credit this to your account or refund it.

The £2.85 email wasn't asking you to pay more - it was just confirming the tax for the second (very short) period, which was included in your total payment.

I hope that clears things up! Let me know if you have any other questions.

The corporation tax was already included in the £1352. And the reason the profit is higher is because the equipment claimed under AIA of £1502.80 taken into account hence profit showing £3628 instead of £2125.65.
Please let me know what's the next step as it has to be corrected.

I've checked your submission in detail and can see:

Capital Allowances (AIA) You did enter £1,502.80 AIA, and it was applied correctly to your CT600. Your taxable profit on the CT600 is £2,624 (which is £4,127 minus the £1,503 AIA).

The accounts show your accounting profit (£4,127) which doesn't include capital allowances - that's correct. The CT600 shows your taxable profit (£2,624) which does include the AIA deduction. These figures are meant to be different.

Creditors If your £1,352.49 already included the tax you expected to pay, you would have needed to enter just the trade creditors (without tax) - TinyTax adds the calculated tax automatically.

Could you clarify what the £1,352.49 was made up of? If it was intended to be trade creditors only (excluding tax), then the accounts are correct. If it already included tax, then we'd need to file an amendment.
