Annual accounts filing in Calne

Annual accounts filing for Calne 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.

Wiltshire ranks 105 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 90% is in line with the 89% average across them. In construction (2,820 micro businesses in Wiltshire), 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 (2,325 micro businesses in Wiltshire), 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.
