You will need to submit two CT600s (is the CT603 just the notice to submit?) because the accounting period is more than 12 months, i.e. 15.03.13 to 31.03.14 and one set of accounts for the whole period. Next year it will only be one CT600 as the year will be 01.04.14 to 31.03.15.
Ok thanks. Will the software split the figures for me or will I have to do this manually and input the figures into the CT600 myself? Not done one like this before sorry.
yes you can shorten the year end and that should get over the problem (never done it myself)...I suppose HMRC are happy to get the tax in earlier! It's form 225 for Companies House.
I usually change the dates. I would prepare a return for 15-30 April 2013 and do another for 1 May 2013 to 30 April 2014. I don't usually bother splitting the figures. I just submit a nil return for the short one and put all the figures in the long one.

Surely depends when the company starts trading? You cant just decide to do a nil period if the company started trading on incorporation. Could potentially affect things like capital allowances you are entitled to claim if you dont do it correctly.
