Annual accounts filing in Chelmondiston

Annual accounts filing for Chelmondiston 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.
