Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions we’re asked most often.
Do I need an accountant for a limited company?
There’s no legal requirement, but every limited company must file statutory accounts with Companies House and a corporation tax return with HMRC — and the penalties for late or incorrect filings add up quickly. Most directors find a good accountant saves more than the fee through tax efficiency alone, while taking the filing risk off their plate entirely.
When are my company accounts and tax return due?
Statutory accounts are due at Companies House nine months after your year end. Corporation tax is payable nine months and one day after year end, and the company tax return itself is due twelve months after year end. We track every one of these dates for you and prepare well ahead of each deadline.
Which bookkeeping software do you work with?
We work day to day with Xero, QuickBooks and Sage, and we’ll recommend and set up whichever genuinely suits your business best. All three keep you compliant with Making Tax Digital and give you a live, accurate picture of your numbers from any device.
What is Making Tax Digital?
Making Tax Digital (MTD) is HMRC’s programme requiring businesses to keep digital records and file through compatible software. It already applies to VAT-registered businesses, and since April 2026 it also covers sole traders and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000 for income tax. We make sure our clients are set up and compliant well before each phase takes effect.
How long do I need to keep my business records?
Limited companies must keep accounting records for six years from the end of the financial year they relate to; the self-employed should keep theirs for at least five years after the 31 January filing deadline. With cloud bookkeeping this happens automatically — everything is stored securely and is easy to find if HMRC ever asks.
