Associated Companies Boxes (326, 327, 328) in CT600
Fix
- The generated CT600 PDF and the human-readable tax computation were showing the number of associated companies in boxes 326, 327 and 328 at the same time.
- Per HMRC's CT600 Guide, boxes 327 and 328 are completed instead of box 326, and only where the accounting period straddles two financial years, the upper or lower limit changed, and the number of associated companies was different in each of those years.
- WeFile records a single count for the whole accounting period, so only box 326 is now completed and boxes 327 and 328 are left blank.
- The HMRC submission XML was never affected: it has always sent the count once, as box 326 only, so no filed return was incorrect.
- The Company Details step now labels the field as box 326 and explains why 327 and 328 stay blank.
- The CT600 coverage list now shows boxes 327 and 328 as not supported, since differing counts across financial years are not catered for.

UK Property Business Losses Brought Forward (Box 250)
New Feature
- A new 'UK property business losses brought forward' adjustment on the Profit & Loss step (Tax Adjustments) to relieve unused property losses from previous periods against total profits — enter the whole unused pool (the figure reported in box 805 of an earlier return, including an amended one), not just the amount you want to claim.
- The relief is automatically capped at the profits available and emitted in CT600 Box 250.
- Any unused balance is carried forward again and shown in the tax computation, with a brought forward / utilised / carried forward reconciliation.
- The computation deducts it after current-year trading loss relief and before brought-forward trading losses, matching HMRC's ordering.
- Box 250 appears on the tax computation, the CT600 PDF and the iXBRL computation filed with HMRC; the prior-period column is included so the accounts comparative is right.
- Validated end-to-end against both the HMRC and Companies House test gateways.
- Available via the developer API as `propertyLossesBroughtForward`.

Group Undertakings in Debtors & Creditors Notes
New Feature
- "Amounts owed by group undertakings" is now available in the Debtors breakdown note, entered on the Account Type step of the filing wizard, and appears between Trade debtors and Prepayments and accrued income.
- "Amounts owed to group undertakings" is now available in the Creditors: amounts falling due within one year breakdown note, appearing directly beneath Trade creditors. It is deliberately not offered under creditors falling due after more than one year.
- Both are optional, are included in the check that the detailed breakdown adds up to the balance sheet figure, and are carried into the previous-year comparative column.
- The new lines appear in both the Accounts PDF and the iXBRL accounts filed at Companies House, in the same order.
- Only applies to Total Exemption Full (FRS 102) accounts, which is where the detailed breakdown is offered — micro-entity accounts are unchanged.
- Supported via the Developer API — include amountsOwedByGroupUndertakings in debtorsBreakdown and amountsOwedToGroupUndertakings in creditorsWithinOneYearBreakdown within balanceSheetData when saving a filing, and available through the AI assistant.
- Verified end-to-end on a test filing, checking that the notes in the PDF and the iXBRL accounts agree.

Prior-Year Figures in Debtors & Creditors Notes
Fix
- The previous-year column of the Debtors and Creditors breakdown notes could show nil against "Prepayments and accrued income", "Other taxes and social security" and "Accruals and deferred income" for filings whose breakdown was saved under earlier field names (in practice affecting data supplied through the Developer API), while the note total showed the correct figure — those prior-year figures now display correctly in both the Accounts PDF and the iXBRL accounts.

Accounting Software Import: Corporation Tax & Creditors Check
Improvement
- Corporation tax and other below-the-line tax charges found on an imported profit & loss are now excluded from expenses instead of being treated as an operating cost.
- This ensures the tax is calculated correctly and there is no longer any need to remove the corporation tax journal from Xero, QuickBooks or FreeAgent before importing.
- Imported tax lines are clearly listed as excluded in the import preview dialog.
- A new balance sheet check ensures the expected corporation tax liability is included in creditors falling due within one year, providing a one-click option to add it and reduce retained earnings if omitted.
