When are company accounts and corporation tax due?

Accounts are normally filed with Companies House within nine months of your year end, the corporation tax payment is generally due nine months and one day after year end, and the CT600 return within twelve months. We confirm your exact dates when you join.

What records do you need from us?

Bank statements, sales and purchase records, payroll information and details of any loans or assets. If we also handle your bookkeeping, most of this is already in the system.

Can you take over part-way through a year?

Yes. We obtain the year-to-date records through professional clearance and pick up from there.

Will I understand the accounts once they are prepared?

That is the intention. We talk through the figures in plain English before filing, so you know what the numbers say about the business.

HOW IT WORKS

Deadlines under control

Your accounting reference date, corporation tax payment date and filing deadlines are all recorded when you join. We work backwards from those dates, request records in good time and confirm the position with you before anything is filed.

Where the figures suggest an action worth considering — timing of expenditure, pension contributions, or how profit is drawn — we raise it with you in writing so the decision is yours, made with time to spare.
