Your yearly check-in with the Tax Man

Your accounts are the Tax Man’s inspection

Companies House accounts are due 9 months after your year-end, Corporation Tax payment is 9 months and 1 day, but the return can be filed 12 months after your year-end.

zERO FLEXIBILITY

Miss either deadline, Get penalties

Deadlines Avoided, No stress, No Penalties

Deadlines intended to be beaten, just like your work. Companies House penalties begin at £150 and HMRC at £100. Both increase, quickly.

accurate accounts & tax returns

Reliable data initiates better decisions

Growth & guesswork don't collide

Corporation Tax is 19% on profits up to £50,000 and 25% over £250,000. You pay 26.5% on profits between £50,000 and £250,000. These are even smaller if your return is less than one year.

A Correct Balance Sheet

All assets (things you own or are owed) and liabilities (things you owe) should be explainable. If you can't, there's a problem and we need to find out why.

Income & Cost Recognition

Income and expenses are not considered when invoiced. They are recorded when services are delivered, sometimes spanning multiple years, such as projects.

Fixed Assets

Kit, cameras and laptops will be used for more than a year. These should be assets, not expenses. Capital allowances ensure you get tax relief.

Trading start date

Your first Corporation Tax return shouldn't start on the incorporation date. Using your trading start date results in you receiving accurate tax allowances.

DISALLOWABLE EXPENSES

Not everything's tax deductible. We identify any disallowable expenses, so you only receive tax relief on what you're entitled to. Compliance is fundamental.

why file early?

The earlier you file, the less the Tax Man can hurt you

INTEREST SAVINGS AND CLARITY

File early and know what you owe months ahead. Pay early and receive 2.75% interest from HMRC. Skip the last-minute rush. Skip the errors. For once, the Tax Man pays you.
