Frequently Asked Questions
What can I claim in my company accounts?
In our first meeting, we’ll go over the list of tax deductions with you and provide you with advice on how to maximise your return.
When do I need to file my company accounts?
This depends on your accounting reference date. Usually, if your company’s year-end is December 31, your accounts are due 9 months after your year-end, and your corporation tax return is due 12 months after your year-end. Please note that these dates may be different in some circumstances, so please give us a call, and we can tell you more.
How do I prepare my accounts?
We’ll ensure your accounting software is updated throughout the year with the correct financial data. We will use this information to help us with your business’s end-of-year accounting and tax filing.
