Annual Accounts are prepared from a company's financial records at the end of the company's financial tax year.
Copies of the accounts must always be sent to:
shareholders
people who can go to the company’s general meetings
Companies House
HM Revenue and Customs
Gold Stag Accounts Annual Financial Reports provide you with:
a ‘balance sheet’, which shows the value of everything the company owns, owes and is owed on the last day of the financial year. Also known as a statement of financial position
a ‘profit and loss account’, which shows the company’s sales, running costs and the profit or loss it has made over the financial year
relevant notes about the accounts
a director’s report (unless a ‘micro-entity’)
Whilst ensuring deadlines are met and tax liabilities are informed at the earliest opportunity.
Your Statutory Accounts will be completed in accordance with both International Financial Reporting Standards & New UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice guidelines and will provide sufficient and relevant information to enble completion of a tax return.
Corporation Tax
Corporation Tax must be paid on profits from doing business as:
a limited company
any foreign company with a UK branch or office
a club, co-operative or other unincorporated association, eg a community group or sports club
Taxable profits for Corporation Tax include the money a company or association makes from:
doing business (‘trading profits’)
investments
selling assets for more than they cost (‘chargeable gains’)
If a company is based in the UK, it pays Corporation Tax on all its profits from the UK and abroad.
If a company isn’t based in the UK but has an office or branch here, it only pays Corporation Tax on profits from its UK activities.
Self-employed
Sole Trader / Partnership
Records of business income and expenses must be kept in order to submit an annual tax return for those self-employed as a:
sole trader
partner in a business partnership
Records of personal income will also need to be kept and nominated partners in a partnership must also keep records for the partnership.
Accounts
There are two options for sole trader's/partnership's, Traditional Accounting and Cash Basis Accounting.
Many businesses use traditional accounting where you record income and expenses by the date you invoiced or were billed.
Most small businesses with an income of £150,000 or less can use cash basis reporting.
With this method, you only record income or expenses when you receive money or pay a bill. This means you won’t need to pay Income Tax on money you haven’t yet received in your accounting period.
Gold Stag Accounts can advise on a variety of matters including Value Added Tax (VAT), Construction worker tax returns (CIS) and registering for Self Assessment.
Community Interest Company
The accounting requirements for CICs are no different from other companies, however, the CIC must be registered with Companies House & a CIC Annual Report must be filed.
We can also offer advice on Community Benefit Society's also know as Co-Operatives as well as operating as a Limited Company Charity.
