What is CP204 and when must I file it?
Last updated: Answer from Robo Company Secretary How we write answers
CP204 estimates company tax payable. Existing businesses generally file at least 30 days before the basis period starts. New businesses follow separate commencement rules; qualifying relief must be checked. CP204A revisions are available in months 6, 9 and 11. Monthly instalments and under-estimation consequences make timely review important.

For a new business with a first basis period of at least six months, the general submission deadline is within three months of commencement. Ask your tax agent whether a statutory exemption applies. The usual minimum estimate is 85% of the preceding year's revised estimate, or original estimate if unrevised.
