PAYE
If you have any employees paid on a monthly or weekly basis their Tax and National Insurance needs to be calculated monthly and PAYE paid over for each tax month by the 19th of the next month.
Personal Taxation Returns
These must be submitted to the Inland Revenue by 31st January each year relating to the previous tax year to 5th April. Payment of tax must also be paid on this date along with a payment on account on 31st July if relevant.
P35 – Employer’s Annual Return
The P35 shows the tax and national insurance due throughout the tax year, 6 April to 5 April for the directors and any employees of the company. This form has a deadline and must be submitted to HM Revenue and Customs by 19 May each year.
P11d – Expenses and benefits
This form accounts for any benefits that any employee or director receives from the company. These things include items such as company cars, medical insurance etc. This form also has a deadline and needs to be submitted by 6 July each year.
In most cases, we will complete all of these forms on your behalf unless you wish to do so yourself.
Other dates will be specific to your company itself depending on its date of incorporation . The rules are as follows:
Corporation Tax
Profits made by the company are liable to Corporation Tax. In a normal year, this tax is due nine months and one day after your year end although in the first period of trading this may be slightly different and there may be two payments due.
The company will also need to submit a tax return, a CT600, which we prepare automatically when we prepare the accounts for the year.
Accounts
The annual accounts have to be submitted to Companies House each year. Currently, these have to be submitted within ten months of the year end. Please note however that this is currently being reviewed with a view to shorten the time period. We will file the accounts at Companies House once they have been agreed and signed by you.
Annual Return
Each year, Companies House will send an Annual Return for the company. This shows all the details regarding the company. For example, the company directors, secretary and shareholders. Companies House also require that you pay an annual fee in respect of this of £30. This fee is £15 if you file the return online but in the first year we ask that you forward the return to us in order that we can ensure all of the details are completed correctly.
VAT rules are slightly different as VAT quarters are assigned to a business depending on the date of VAT registration.
VAT Returns are calculated quarterly from your first assigned VAT period and the VAT Return and payment is due for submission to HM Revenue and Customs one month after your VAT quarter has ended.
Please note that the above is not meant to be a definitive list but merely a guide to the main points and forms required to be completed by the company.
