Limited Company Obligations

Every limited company registered in the UK has a set of statutory obligations. These are not optional — they are legal requirements, and failing to meet them can result in financial penalties, fines, or other consequences.

The main obligations for most limited companies include:

Filing annual accounts with Companies House each year
Filing a Corporation Tax return (CT600) with HMRC
Paying any Corporation Tax owed within the statutory deadline
Filing a Confirmation Statement with Companies House annually
Maintaining accurate and up-to-date company records
Registering for VAT if annual taxable turnover exceeds the current registration threshold
Directors may also need to complete personal Self Assessment tax returns

Key Filing Deadlines for Limited Companies

Limited company deadlines are tied to your company's accounting period, not the standard tax year. The main deadlines to be aware of are generally:

Annual accounts: Must be filed at Companies House within 9 months of your company's financial year end
Corporation Tax return: Must be filed with HMRC within 12 months of your accounting period end
Corporation Tax payment: Generally due within 9 months and 1 day of your accounting period end (for smaller companies)
Confirmation Statement: Filed at Companies House at least once every 12 months

Important Note on Deadlines

Companies House and HMRC deadlines are based on your specific company's accounting reference date. These dates will vary from company to company. Deadlines, thresholds, and rates can also change. Please verify current requirements with HMRC and Companies House or contact us directly to confirm the relevant dates for your company.

Why Good Records Make Everything Easier

The quality of your financial records directly affects how straightforward the year-end process will be. Companies that maintain accurate, up-to-date bookkeeping throughout the year generally find the annual accounts process much smoother and less stressful.

If your records need attention before your year end, it is much better to address this early rather than trying to reconstruct months of transactions at the last minute. We can help bring your records up to date and ensure everything is in order ahead of the filing process.

Annual accounts are a set of statutory financial statements (including a profit and loss account and balance sheet) that are filed at Companies House. A Corporation Tax return (CT600) is submitted to HMRC and is used to calculate the company's Corporation Tax liability. Both are required, but they are different documents submitted to different organisations. Annual accounts filed at Companies House are available for public inspection.

Even if your company has had no trading activity, there may still be filing obligations. Dormant companies generally need to file dormant accounts at Companies House and notify HMRC of their dormant status. Please contact us to discuss your company's specific situation.

Yes. We regularly help companies that have fallen behind with their bookkeeping or are approaching a filing deadline with outstanding records. Please contact us as early as possible so we have the best chance of getting things in order in time.
