Do I need to do a self-assessment tax return...

You will need to submit a self assessment tax return if any of the following criteria apply:

  • You are either self-employed or a sole-trader and have earned more than £1,000 in the current tax year
  • You are a partner in a business partnership
  • You are the Director of a company
  • You received income from letting out property of more than £1,000 in the year – this includes letting out space in your own home
  • Your taxable income is more than £150,000 in the year
  • You receive Child Benefit and either you or your partner earned more than £50,000 in the year
  • You have sold an asset for more than you acquired it for and need to pay Capital Gains Tax

The above are the most common reasons, but if you are unsure, please reach out to us.

What date do I need to file my self-assessment...

The Self Assessment tax return deadline is on 31 January each year. This means that the deadline for filing your 2023-24 taxes is by midnight on 31 January 2025. This is also the deadline for paying any tax owed for the previous tax year (and your first instalment of payment on account).

What are the key filing dates for my company...
Corporation tax deadlines and the filing of company accounts, depend on a company’s accounting period. An accounting period is the period of time the accounts cover. It’s usually for 12 months, but can be for up to 18 months (generally, it’s when you start your company). You can confirm for your company by viewing your information on Companies House

Companies House

A corporation tax return can only be for a maximum of 12 months. For any period longer, you would file two tax returns for the same accounting period.

The key milestones are:

  • Accounts submitted to Companies House, nine months after end of the accounting period.

  • Corporation tax payment due, nine months + one day after end of the accounting period.

  • Corporation tax return due, 12 months after a company’s accounting period

  • A confirmation statement is required to be sent to Companies House 14 days after your Review Period (generally your accounting period) ends

You need to pay the corporate tax before the return is due – but you should prepare the return, so you know how much is owing.

Limited companies are required to file their accounts with Companies House nine months after the end of the accounting period. In the first year, the due dates for filing are different and you will receive notification from Companies House and HMRC.

How much do you cost...

Our fees depend on your requirements and as such are bespoke to the service you require.

For our basic offering, consisting of bookkeeping for less than ten transactions a month, year end financial statements and corporation tax submissions, this would cost £70 per month. If you would require additional or fewer services, the price would alter accordingly.

Do I need an accountant...

If you are unsure, please feel free to contact us using either WhatsApp, email or by simply giving us a call and we will give you honest and impartial advice on what we believe you require.

Understanding your Statutory Accounts – Essential reading for UK Companies

Statutory accounts are essential annual financial statements required for UK businesses. They outline a company’s financial performance and must adhere to UK accounting standards. All limited companies and specific partnerships must prepare them, with penalties for late filing. Ensuring compliance entails accurate record-keeping, using accounting software, and potentially hiring professionals.
