Before we startYour questions,
Your questions,
answered.
When are limited company accounts and tax due?
For an established private company, annual accounts are normally due nine months after the financial year end, Corporation Tax nine months and one day after the accounting period, and the Company Tax Return 12 months after that period. First-year and unusual periods can differ.
Can you take over incomplete bookkeeping?
Yes. We first assess the records, identify missing information and agree any catch-up work separately before final accounts are prepared.
Do directors still approve the accounts?
Yes. Directors remain responsible for the company’s records and approve the accounts and return before submission.
