Andica CT600 Corporation Tax Software vs Taxstream ProVision

Andica CT600 Corporation Tax Software prepares CT600 Company Tax Returns and submits them electronically to HMRC. It is aimed at companies, accountants, and tax advisers. Version 2026 supports accounting periods through 31 March 2027 and includes CT600 plus CT600A, CT600L, CT600M, CT600N, and CT600P supplementary forms. Tax calculations use the accounting period and entered form data. Users can attach iXBRL accounts and computations made elsewhere or generate iXBRL data with the included template. That template has limited predefined fields, omits some FRS 102 tagging, and excludes FRS 105 micro-entity accounts. File By Internet sends returns through the Government Gateway after HMRC registration. Printed reports support records and signatures but cannot be filed with HMRC. The product has Windows desktop and browser-based cloud editions. Desktop data stays on the user's computer, according to Andica, with password protection and access rights.

Taxstream ProVision is an end-to-end system for producing quarterly and annual tax provisions without maintaining a corresponding spreadsheet. It guides data collection, provision calculations, and footnote production. The footnote generator connects to the tax database and updates reports when provision data changes, while ProTrace traces calculations between the general ledger and footnote. An automated audit trail records each provision step, and Review Mode lets auditors and advisors examine the work. Listed tax functions include foreign tax credit calculations, customized grouping, uncertain tax positions, and roll-forwards that retain calculations, rates, reports, and dashboards. The Model workspace develops and evaluates strategies against the global effective tax rate, imports spreadsheet or compliance-system data, and supports AI-based forecasting and scenario planning. EntityChart maps entity relationships and stores tax information. A.T.O.M. can select and apply plays from an integrated tax-planning playbook. Pricing is on request.
