Limited Companies

Directors have more responsibility when it comes to filing statutory accounts for a Company.

The time limits are much stricter and the format the accounts must follow is more complex than that of a Sole Trader.

In addition to preparing the Company accounts we will also prepare and submit the Companies Corporation Tax Return, Tax Computations and calculate the Corporation Tax Liability for you.

We will discuss with you the performance of the Company and advise on any ways the company can improve.

Partnerships

We offer the same full service as for Sole Traders and will prepare and file the Partnership Tax Return and Self-Assessment returns for all Partners.

Bookkeeping

Maintaining good accounting records is the first step to ensuring your affairs are in good order.

Overview

By recording your income and expenditure monthly or quarterly you are able to keep a check on how your business is performing allowing you to budget for future tax liabilities

It can also help identify areas where the business may not be performing and enable you to make small changes as and when they are needed.

We offer a full bookkeeping service using either Microsoft Excel, Sage One or Quickbooks dependant on your business needs.

VAT

Businesses with a turnover of £85,000 or more are required to register for VAT.

Registering for VAT means you will need to submit quarterly returns online to HMRC within a certain time frame.

There are various VAT schemes you can register for. The main ones being the Standard Accounting method, the Cash Accounting method and the Flat Rate Scheme.

We will discuss with you which scheme is right for your business and prepare the returns for you from your records or give you help and advice to enable you to file your own.

Payroll

Due to the new regulations requiring Employers to file RTI (Real Time Information) reports, anyone who pays an Employee must now have a registered Payroll scheme.

Profits from Businesses
Property or Land Rental Income

All Self Employed Individuals and Company Directors are now required by law to complete a return and notify HMRC that they need to file a return if they don’t already do so.

As a CIS Subcontractor I was keen to get my accounts and tax return filed as soon as possible after the 5th April in order to claim back any tax I had overpaid. C & D Accountants dealt with my return quickly and efficiently meaning I got my refund in a matter of weeks.
I was so happy with the service that I recommended them to all the other lads on site who were also subcontractors.
