Annual accounts filing in Calmore

Annual accounts filing for Calmore companies

Annual accounts are the yearly financial statements every UK limited company puts on the public record. For a private company they are due nine months after the end of the accounting period, and your Corporation Tax return is due twelve months after it. The tax itself is due nine months and one day after the year end, which catches many directors out.

New Forest ranks 514 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 89% is in line with the 89% average across them. In construction (1,185 micro businesses in New Forest), Construction Industry Scheme deductions, retentions and stage payments can distort profit, so we reconcile your CIS statements before the accounts are prepared. In wholesale and retail (895 micro businesses in New Forest), closing stock and the VAT treatment of different product lines are the usual pressure points, so we value stock carefully and check your VAT records.
