We provide a range of compliance services to support all aspects of business administration. We can help you by making sure accounts are prepared in the correct format, statutory books and other company secretarial records are kept up-to-date and that all statutory returns are prepared. Our experienced team will relieve you of the regulatory burden and leave you more time to concentrate on other areas of your business. In short, we will make sure everything is in the right format, in the right place and at the right time.
Our range of compliance services includes:
Incorporated bodies are obliged to submit annual Statutory Accounts to Companies House. These are required to be in a very specific format and need to comply with Accounting Standards and Company Law. All accounts prepared by us will allow you to comply, in addition we will manage the process to ensure that the accounts are submitted on time. Requirements of online filing of Corporation tax returns require these to be in IXBRL format.
All companies registered with Companies House have as a minimum to submit an annual return, various events in the normal life of a company will also trigger a return requirement, we can advise and prepare these forms and provide a registered office service if required.
If you employ staff, or pay anyone over the current lower earnings limit for NI, you must run a payroll system. We can advise on the best system for you or run the payroll for you, including registering, preparation of payslips, calculation of tax and NI due and year end reports. In addition we can prepare journals for inclusion into your book-keeping system allowing you to control your payroll costs.
If you have taxable income you may have to submit a tax return on an annual basis, and pay tax due by the relevant dates. We can help you manage this process to ensure tax returns are correct and take advantage of any reliefs available.
Companies are obliged to return an on-line Corporation Tax return and computation which details their liability to Corporation tax. This service is usually provided together with provision of Statutory Accounts.
