What a limited company must file
Every UK limited company must file annual accounts with Companies House, a Corporation Tax return with HMRC, and a confirmation statement. If you are a director, you usually also file a personal Self Assessment return. Each has its own deadline and its own penalties for missing it.
Corporation Tax in plain English
Corporation Tax is charged on your company's profits. The rate depends on profit: 19 percent for companies with profits up to £50,000, 25 percent above £250,000, and a sliding rate in between. We apply every relief and allowance you are entitled to and explain the bill before it is due.
Paying yourself tax-efficiently
Directors can be paid through salary, dividends, or both. The best mix depends on your profit, other income and plans, and the rules change with each tax year. We review it with you every year, and we make sure any money you take out is recorded correctly, including director's loan accounts.
Avoiding late filing penalties
Late accounts at Companies House bring automatic penalties that increase the longer you wait, and late Corporation Tax returns bring penalties from HMRC. We diarise your deadlines and prepare your work well ahead of them.
What every limited company must file
Annual accounts
Filed with Companies House, normally within nine months of your company's year end.

Confirmation statement
A yearly check that the company information held at Companies House is correct.
Director's tax return
Directors usually file their own Self Assessment return as well, because of salary, dividends and other income.

Yes. Even a company that is not trading has filing duties. We can handle dormant company filings too.
How should I pay myself from my company?
Most directors take a mix of salary and dividends, but the right mix depends on your situation. We talk it through and give you a straight recommendation.

Yes. We contact your previous accountant and handle the handover. It usually takes about ten minutes of your time.
