The price is agreed in writing before any work starts, so there are no hourly surprises.
There is no legal requirement, but a limited company must file annual accounts at Companies House, a CT600 corporation tax return with HMRC, a confirmation statement, and usually VAT and payroll returns. Most directors use an accountant because the penalties for late or wrong filings cost far more than the fee.
Annual accounts are due at Companies House nine months after your year end, corporation tax is payable nine months and one day after the year end, and the CT600 is due twelve months after the period end. Self Assessment for directors is due by 31 January after the tax year.
You must register once VAT taxable turnover passes £90,000 in any rolling twelve month period, or if you expect to pass it in the next thirty days. You can register voluntarily below that if most of your customers are VAT registered businesses.
Most single director companies take a salary at or near the National Insurance thresholds and draw the rest as dividends, as long as the company has distributable profits. The right split depends on other income, pension contributions and whether the company claims the Employment Allowance, so we run the numbers for your position.
Yes, and you do not need to wait for a year end. We write for professional clearance, collect the records, take over the HMRC and Companies House agent authorisations and pick up from where your old accountant stopped. There is no charge for the handover.
Basic tax advice is free on the first call, and quick questions from clients are included in the monthly fee. Anything technical, such as a detailed planning report, a valuation or an HMRC disclosure, is quoted before we begin.
We are a Xero Partner and also work with QuickBooks and FreeAgent. If you are on spreadsheets we can keep it that way for a very small company, or move you onto cloud software so VAT returns meet Making Tax Digital rules.
Costs incurred wholly and exclusively for the business: salaries, subcontractors, software, professional fees, business travel, use of home under the agreed rates, equipment, business insurance and pension contributions. Personal costs put through the company create a benefit in kind or a director's loan.
Companies House charges £150 for up to one month late, rising to £1,500 at over six months, and doubles the penalty if you were late the previous year too. HMRC adds its own penalties for a late CT600 and charges interest on unpaid corporation tax.
Yes. We run monthly payroll, submit RTI to HMRC, produce payslips, handle starters and leavers, and manage auto enrolment pension submissions and re-enrolment duties.
Yes. We handle HMRC enquiries, Let Property Campaign disclosures and worldwide disclosure of overseas income. Coming forward voluntarily almost always reduces the penalty compared with HMRC finding it first.
