About draft versions of forms

We provide draft versions of the developing company tax return forms (identified by the letter ‘D’) on the Internet to help software developers and substitute form producers to create their products.

When final versions of the forms are published on the Corporation Tax pages of the website we will reflect that here by using the identifying letter ‘P’ for ‘published’ in the lists for software developers.

Drafts are only available for Software Developers and Substitute Form Producers.

What the drafts cover

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) develop the CT600 core return forms and supplementary pages first, and finally the CT600 Guide.

Final versions before proof reading

The final versions before proof reading are made available as soon as they are ready.

Please note that even these versions may be subject to some minor amendments if problems are picked up during proof reading. Any changes will be shown in the final versions published on our website (and identified on the software developers’ pages by the letter P).

Software developers and substitute form producers can receive specimens of the printed paper forms on request to HMRC Forms (see below). These are not available until several weeks after they have been published on our website.
