Corporation Tax: separate payment from filing
Identify whether you need a tax payment date, a Company Tax Return filing date or a tax computation. They use different facts and have different consequences.
The dedicated pages explain supported ordinary cases and when notice, accounting-period, instalment or other specialist facts require review. A filing penalty is not late-payment interest.
Payment deadline, then interest if payment is late
First establish the ordinary payment due date. If unpaid, the interest tool estimates one fixed balance/rate interval; changing rates or part-payments need separate intervals.
