This is why outsourcing the work to a reputable accountancy firm such as TFMC can be incredibly beneficial to your business.

YEAR-END ACCOUNTS SERVICE IN ASHFORD & MAIDSTONE

Limited companies operating in Ashford and Maidstone are obliged to submit annual ‘year-end’ accounts to Companies House in Cardiff.

This obligation does not stretch to those trading by way of partnership or sole traders. This obligation is set out in the Companies Act 2006. A failure to submit ‘year-end’ accounts prompts Companies House to issue an automatic penalty.

Penalties are charged on a sliding scale up to several thousand pounds. If you fail to submit year-end accounts for two consecutive years, then fines are doubled. Year-end accounts must be submitted to Companies House within nine months after your ‘accounting reference period’.

If you choose The Financial Management Centre in Ashford and Maidstone to complete year-end accounts, our advisor works closely with you and your team, making sure accounts represent a true and fair view of business finances over the period in question. If you do not receive monthly or quarterly management accounts, your year-end accounts are probably the only record of financial performance for the requisite period in question. The service we provide is affordable and means you free up precious time to spend on core business activities instead.

TAX RETURN SERVICE IN ASHFORD & MAIDSTONE

All companies operating in Ashford and Maidstone must file a tax return to HMRC each year. The tax return details revenue and profit/loss for the period in question. For limited companies, the tax return covers the ‘accounting reference period’. For sole traders and partnerships, the return covers the official ‘fiscal year’ from the 6th of April until the following 5th of April each year.

Limited companies must file a Corporation Tax Self-Assessment (CTSA) using form CT600. This form must be submitted within nine months after the end of your elected ‘accounting reference period’.

Partnerships and sole traders must file a Self-Assessment Tax Return (SATR). This document is filed to HMRC over the Internet. The deadline set by HMRC is 31st January each year. Failure to submit tax returns on time can result in unwanted penalties by HMRC. We believe failure to submit on time mostly comes down to a lack of understanding of the subject, which often leads to procrastination. Overdue tax returns can result in a £100 fine and interest charges on tax now overdue, according to the government.

UNDERSTANDING & MANAGING TAX RETURNS

It’s important to understand that VAT returns are different from year-end and tax returns. VAT returns are typically submitted quarterly to HMRC and detail the amount of VAT a business has charged to its customers and paid to its suppliers within that period. These are strictly concerned with Value Added Tax, a specific kind of tax applied to the goods and services a business sells.

On the other hand, year-end accounts provide an overview of a company’s financial activity throughout the entire financial year. They are used to calculate the corporation tax your company owes based on its annual profits.

Tax returns, however, involve a range of taxes, not just VAT. They can encompass income tax, corporation tax, capital gains tax, and others, depending on the business structure. A tax return is a formal report filed annually that declares a taxpayer’s taxable income, deductions, and tax payments.
