One of the main things we do is help business owners deal with their limited company accounts. Knowing what – and when the deadlines are for filing limited company accounts is the trick to helping the ‘legal bits’ of your business tick along seamlessly. Here is a brief roundup of what you need to file each year, and what might happen if you don’t.
Annual Accounts (to Companies House & HMRC)
These are the ‘full’ accounts that show you how the company has done in the year.
These work out the corporation tax you have to pay. Before these accounts can be filed, they must be produced to very specific accounting standards.
This ‘full’ set gets attached to the company’s tax return (see below) each year and is sent to HMRC.
There is an opportunity to get caught out when you’re filing limited company accounts, in that this is due to be submitted to Companies House 9 months after the company year-end. Directors often get caught out in the first year as its 21 months from registration, so is usually a slightly shorter deadline in year one.
Helpfully, your company’s registration on company’s house will also show you the due date for your accounts.
You usually prepare a separate ‘filleted’ (previously known as ‘abbreviated’ ) set of accounts for Companies House, as these are publicly visible to anyone. This set doesn’t show you turnover, profits etc., just the overall ‘position’ of the business (useful for banks, lenders etc).
Nearly all limited companies have accountants, as there are very limited free software (at time of writing) to help produce the accounts. They have to be ‘electronically tagged’ to be transmitted in a specific way to HM Revenue & Customs. This software (and the know-how) sits with accountants.
Like all returns, there are penalties for not submitting your accounts to Companies House. You can expect them to range from £100 – £1500, but if you’ve been late before, they double.
Ultimately, if you do not submit the accounts, you can also end up in court, so be sure to check the dates.
Corporation Tax Return (to HMRC)
With the full accounts in hand, you need to complete a corporation tax return that tells you and HM Revenue & Customs what tax to pay on the profits. This return is sent along with the full accounts. It is also ‘electronically tagged’ and sent via a specific electronic software system to HMRC. The deadline for the tax return is actually 12 months after the year-end. This may feel odd as the Companies House accounts are due at 9 months. Any tax payable is due at 9 months & One Day after the year-end – before the return is actually due!
It is worth being extra careful on the first-year tax return. It is very common for dates to not line up correctly, and possible that two returns need to be done. As you would expect, there are penalties for late filing, starting at £100. If you need support with filing limited company accounts, then contact us as, we’d be glad to help.
For a new small business owner, how to access the funds you need to live on yourself is a crucial question!
One of the primary ways you can take money from a limited company is via dividends. This basically a payment to you of the profit (or part of it), from your business, after tax and adjustments.
So, how often can I take a dividend?
The short answer:
As often as you want really!
BUT
There are some things you’ve got to get right to do so.
The slightly longer answer:
There is a general myth about dividend payments. This dates back to when companies would often only declare ‘final’ dividends at a company’s Annual General Meeting. Indeed, some ‘Articles of Association’ (the document that governs certain legal procedures around the company) might have even required this to be the case.
To make these dividends legal, you still need to take certain steps including:
· To ‘declare’ the dividends
· To keep specific records
in the meantime, here’s a quick check list. You need:
· Proof that you had the profits to pay out (usually company accounts or a current Balance Sheet)
· Meeting minutes declaring the dividend
· An entry in your records / book-keeping software
· Production of a Dividend voucher is recommended
At this point you would usually take the money, although you don’t have to. It could instead be marked in your ‘Director’s loan account’ for payment later, for example.
A few final words on dividend payments
Dividends can be a really useful tool for tax-efficiently extracting money for a limited company.
However, they can also be technically challenging, and planning for the potential personal tax bill on them can cause a major headache.
To help put yourself in the best position with this, check out the following:
· Do I need to pay tax on dividends?
· How to plan for your ‘dividend tax’ bill
You can also ask your accountant. Or you can book a paid 1 hour, 1-2-1 consultation with us so you can ask simple questions, and then go on to divvy out the dividends with more confidence yourself. It’s a great way for you to get the help you need, when you need it.
In addition to submitting accounts to Companies House, limited companies must file a Company Tax Return (CT600) accompanied by full statutory accounts to HMRC. This submission calculates the Corporation Tax owed based on the company’s profits. The deadline for filing the Company Tax Return is 12 months after the end of the accounting period it covers. However, any Corporation Tax due must be paid within 9 months and one day after the end of that period.
Joint Filing Options
To streamline the process, companies that do not require an auditor can file their accounts and Company Tax Return simultaneously using HMRC’s online service. This integrated approach ensures that both HMRC and Companies House receive the necessary documents, reducing administrative effort.
Consequences of Non-Compliance
Failure to file accounts or pay Corporation Tax on time can lead to significant penalties. Companies House imposes fines starting from £150 for late accounts, increasing with the length of the delay. HMRC may also levy penalties and interest for late tax returns or payments. Persistent non-compliance can result in the company being struck off the register or directors facing personal liability
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Filing Limited Company Accounts
1. Can I prepare and file my own limited company accounts?
Yes, company directors can prepare and file their own accounts. However, many opt to hire professional accountants to ensure accuracy and compliance with the latest regulations. Even with professional assistance, directors remain legally responsible for the company’s filings.
2. What records must a limited company maintain?
A limited company is required to keep accurate financial records, including details of all income and expenditure, assets and liabilities, and records of all goods bought and sold. These records support the information submitted in the annual accounts and tax returns.
3. What happens if I miss the filing deadline?
Missing the filing deadline for accounts or tax returns results in automatic penalties. The longer the delay, the higher the penalty. For example, late filing of accounts with Companies House can incur penalties starting from £150, escalating if the delay continues. Similarly, HMRC imposes fines and may charge interest on any unpaid tax.
4. Do dormant companies need to file accounts?
Yes, even if a company is dormant (not trading), it must file dormant accounts with Companies House annually and inform HMRC of its dormant status to avoid unnecessary tax filings.
5. Can I change my company’s accounting reference date?
Yes, a company can change its accounting reference date, which alters its financial year-end. This can be done by notifying Companies House and is often used to align the company’s financial year with the calendar year or the financial periods of parent companies.

Do you feel in the dark about your business’s numbers?
Many small business owners feel there is a real lack of data available to them. This is usually due to a combination of:
a) not knowing what numbers are important (and why)
and
b) not having a system to produce them regularly
So, here’s your business owner’s guide to 7 of the most impactful numbers you could know about your business. Once you know them, they can give you some real insight into what’s happening in the business, and help you understand how to push the business forward.
Some of these numbers you will easily be able to pull from your records, and some might need a more detailed calculation. We don’t cover the detail of the calculation here. Right now, we just want you to be aware what key numbers you should be looking at are, and why they are important.
Know your numbers
First, we’ll talk you through you the ‘Big 3’ key numbers that most owners need a handle on. Then we’ll explore “4 More” that really help you get under the bonnet of the business.
THE BIG 3 1. Revenue
The obvious first number to understand is how much you are selling. Call it ‘sales’, ‘revenue’ or ‘turnover’ – it’s all the same thing.
Knowing this number, and whether it is growing or decreasing will give you a key indication of whether the business is going in the right direction.
It’s not the only number that matters, but it’s a pretty important one! 2. Gross Profit Margin
This one is MASSIVE. The power in knowing this number and actively trying to improve it can change your business, and ultimately your life as an owner.
Your gross profit margin tells you what profit would be left after you pay for your ‘direct’ costs for every £ of revenue you generate. This number is normally a % figure.
For example, if you make a product, it’s usually the profit after you’ve paid for the materials to make it, package it, delivery, etc.
Your gross profit margin shows you how profitable your main business activities are, before considering your fixed costs (overheads)..
3. Net Profit and ‘EBITDA’
Some would argue that Net Profit is actually all that matters. It’s the profit (if any!) that’s left at the end when all other costs have been taken into consideration.
One key version of this number is something known as ‘EBITDA’. This is the profit, but with some of the more ‘unusual’ costs that are normally found in accounts stripped out.
EBITDA means:
Earnings (profit) Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (another form of depreciation).
The best way to use your EBITDA figure is as a percentage of your revenue. This will then in theory tell you, for any given £ revenue figure, what profit is left at the end. So, if you have an EBITDA of, say 35%, then for every £100 you make, £35 as Profit.
It’s very important to keep tracking this figure, so you are also keeping an eye on the direction the business is heading in.
4 MORE 4. Revenue per employee
This number is how much revenue (sales) you produce per employee in the business. This number is impacted by many elements of your business including:
⦁ Efficiency
⦁ Employee costs (holidays, pension plans, etc)
⦁ Training
⦁ Tech and Equipment
⦁ HR and Recruitment
As a result, this number is more of a holistic look at the business and how efficient the team is. If you concentrate on improving this number, you often find many others are positively impacted. 5. Cash Days
Your Cash Days number can also be called ‘working capital days’. It is a measure that gives you a snapshot of how long it takes for money to go through your business.
Your Cash Days calculation combines:
⦁ How long it takes for your customers to pay you
⦁ How long it takes for you to pay your suppliers
⦁ How long it takes for your stock to be turned into cash
⦁ How long it takes any ‘work in progress’ to be turned into cash
Improving this figure (making it lower) can really help improve the cash in your business at any given time. This is particularly important in times of financial stress or market worries. 6. Core Cash Target
This number looks at the ideal amount of cash your business should keep on hand before starting investments or paying profits out.
Depending how you calculate this, it’s usually a number that includes:
⦁ Your total taxes due
⦁ An amount for your fixed overheads
It gives you an idea of what you really need to hold back in reserve before committing funds to other projects or put in your pocket as the owner! 7. Business Return
This number is another indicator of how your business is progressing overall. It is normally calculated by looking at:
⦁ Your net profit over a year
vs
⦁ The overall ‘value’ of your business
You could look at this number as ‘Is the business producing a good enough return?’. For example, would you get more if you just closed the business now, cashed in and stuck the money in a bank?
Summary
And there we have it, 7 key numbers you should know about your business.
If you don’t know them, or are not sure how to find them, we have a range of business advisory services that build in these key numbers at their core.
Our business advisory service includes monthly meetings to:
⦁ Review these numbers
⦁ Understand what’s happening

Navigating the world of taxes as a landlord can feel daunting, but with a bit of guidance, you can manage it with confidence. In this friendly guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to file your taxes correctly and take advantage of all the deductions available to you. Let’s make tax season a breeze!
Know Your Tax Obligations
First things first: understanding your tax obligations is crucial. As a landlord, you need to be aware of:
Rental Income Tax: This is the tax you pay on the income you receive from renting out your property.
Capital Gains Tax: If you sell a property, you may have to pay tax on the profit.
Stamp Duty Land Tax: This applies when you purchase additional properties.
Keep Perfect Records
Good record-keeping is the backbone of smooth tax filing. Here’s what you should keep track of:
Rental Income: Every penny you receive from your tenants.
Allowable Expenses: Costs you can deduct from your rental income, like repairs, maintenance, insurance, and letting agent fees.
Register for Self-Assessment
If you’re new to being a landlord, you’ll need to register for Self-Assessment with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). This process allows you to report your rental income and expenses annually.
Register Online: Head over to the HMRC website to set up an account.
Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR): After registering, you’ll get a UTR number. This is your unique identifier for all tax-related matters.
Complete Your Self-Assessment Tax Return
You’ll need to file your Self-Assessment tax return by January 31st following the end of the tax year (which runs from April 6th to April 5th the next year).
SA100 Form: The main tax return form you’ll complete.
SA105 Form: A supplementary form specifically for declaring rental income.
Declare Your Rental Income
On the SA105 form, you’ll report your rental income and any allowable expenses. Here’s the breakdown:
Rental Income: Report all income received from your tenants.
Allowable Expenses: Deduct expenses like property repairs, insurance, and mortgage interest (subject to restrictions).
Claim Your Allowable Expenses
Reducing your taxable income by claiming allowable expenses is a smart move. Ensure you:
Keep Receipts: Store all receipts and invoices for claimed expenses.
Organize Expenses: Categorize expenses into groups like repairs, insurance, and agent fees.
Calculate Your Taxable Profit
Subtract your allowable expenses from your total rental income to find your taxable profit. For example:
Total Rental Income: £15,000
Total Allowable Expenses: £5,000
Taxable Profit:£10,000
Pay Your Tax Bill
Once you’ve submitted your Self-Assessment tax return, HMRC will calculate your tax bill based on your taxable profit. Make sure to pay this by January 31st following the end of the tax year.
Stay Updated with Tax Changes
Tax laws can change, so staying updated is essential:
HMRC Updates: Regularly check the HMRC website for the latest changes.
Professional Advice:Consider hiring a tax advisor or accountant specializing in landlord taxes to ensure compliance and optimize your tax situation.
Conclusion
Filing your taxes as a landlord doesn’t have to be stressful. By keeping accurate records, understanding your obligations, and following the steps outlined above, you can manage the process with ease. Staying informed and seeking professional advice can further simplify your tax filing and ensure you’re making the most of available deductions.
