This is to inform you that adding the cessation period on the front page of an accounts report is not an option.
As a workaround, you can navigate to Accounts Production >> Client Specific >> Settings >> Report Settings >> Company Info >> Edit >> and include the cessation period in the 'Annual Report Name' field >> Save. (Refer to the attachment for guidance). After completing this, please create a new report or regenerate an existing one.
You can follow the steps below to inform HMRC about submitting ceasing company returns.
1) Initially, you must notify HMRC that the Company will cease operations.
2) When establishing the accounting period, make sure that 'Is the company ceased?' is selected. If you have already done this, move on to step 3. Otherwise, you can modify the accounting period under Settings >> Accounting periods >> Edit >> Select ceased.
3) Navigate to Accounts Production >> Settings >> Accounting Policy.
4) Check the 'Going Concern' box and click the 'Edit' button.
5) Manually input the company's cessation details in the 'Going Concern' policy and save the information.
6) If you have produced an accounting report before setting up the cessation as described in the previous steps, you will need to regenerate that report.
P.S. Changes will not be visible in the Accounts report unless you regenerate it.
7) Utilise the accounts report when preparing the CT600 Returns and submit it to HMRC.
