As an FCCA practitioner acting for small charities and community organisations, I recently encountered this issue while preparing a charity Corporation Tax return requiring the CT600E supplement.
HMRC withdrew its own free CT600 filing facility and advised taxpayers to obtain suitable commercial software. However, Xero Support has confirmed that CT600E is not currently supported. As a result, I was forced to purchase additional specialist software solely to meet the filing requirements of a very small community charity.
This issue has become part of wider correspondence with HMRC, the Administrative Burdens Advisory Board (ABAB), and my Member of Parliament regarding the practical accessibility and proportionality of charity filing requirements.
Given Xero's strong presence in the charity and not-for-profit sector, I believe CT600E support should be treated as a priority. The current position leaves charities and their advisers maintaining additional software purely to satisfy a compliance requirement.
