Year-end accounts
Statutory accounts and the corporation tax return for your limited company, agreed with you first and filed well before the deadline.
From £119 a month What is included
A limited company has two annual jobs that cannot slip: the statutory accounts at Companies House, due nine months after the year end, and the corporation tax return with HMRC. The tax itself is due nine months and a day after the year end, before the return is.
We aim to finish both within three months of your year end. That gives you six months’ notice of your corporation tax bill and time to plan around it.
Before anything is filed you get the accounts, the tax figure and a one-page summary of the year in plain English: what you made, what you can take out, and what to watch next year. If there is a decision to make, such as buying equipment before the year end or paying a pension contribution, we raise it while there is still time.
The fee also covers the confirmation statement, one director’s self-assessment and the day-to-day questions that come up in between.
Questions about year-end accounts
How soon after the year end will you file?
Within three months if your books are with us, which is six months before Companies House needs them.
Do you tell us the tax before you file?
Always. You see the accounts, the tax and a short summary of the year, and nothing is filed until you approve it.
Can you help with a loan or mortgage application?
Yes. We can prepare a letter or interim accounts for a lender, quoted as a fixed price before we start.
