You don’t need to hire an accountant by law when running a limited company in the UK, but legally, as a director, you have to file properly, and comply with the many rules imposed by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and Companies House. In this regard, many directors find themselves struggling to manage their business as the tax rules that relate to limited companies in the UK are often complex and each year there are strict deadlines that must be met, and if you make an error on these returns you could incur substantial fines.
Directors of companies may prepare their own accounts if they wish to do so, or they may request that an authorised accountant or other agent prepare and submit these documents on their behalf. However, if the director chooses to hire an accountant to prepare and submit the accounts, this does not absolve the director of liability for the accuracy of the information contained in the accounts.
Submitting your own Self Assessment tax return and Corporation Tax return is certainly an option. There is much more to a limited company tax return than just reporting the income—a lot of it involves how much of the profit can be offset against other expenses or allowances, including capital, dividends, and HMRC regulations. As opposed to having accurate knowledge of these things, Directors frequently pay too much tax or miss deadlines when they prepare their own tax returns.
A limited company registered in the United Kingdom is obliged to:
The statutory accounts must be filed electronically via compliant software or alternatively via an accountant’s agent system. The deadlines for filing with HMRC and with Companies House are different, which is a common area of confusion for new/director companies. An accountant manages these timelines and ensures that you are submitting your accounts in the appropriate format.
Hiring an Accountancy professional provides:
Similarly, Budget Accountants offer to provide continual support, instead of simply filing every year, for Directors to make better choices on their finances throughout the year, instead of waiting until the end of the year to react.
Tax compliance and minimisation through salary/dividend optimisation, claiming allowable business expenses, and efficiently timing income/expenses
Capital Allowances
Capital Allowances have historically been one of the most overlooked aspects of tax efficiency. It is estimated that up to 90% of UK companies do not fully utilise capital allowances due to a lack of knowledge or misunderstanding of this area.
VAT Planning
Directors must ensure VAT compliance, and failure to do so can lead to serious penalties. An ‘expert’ accountant will ensure your company’s VAT position is optimised and all possible claims are made on time.
The typical services offered by limited company accountancy firms include:
At Budget Accountants, the above services can generally be packaged up into fixed-fee packages which provide clients with greater certainty of costs and clearer understanding of what will be provided for their money.
Most directors of limited companies are better off by combining their salary with the payment of dividends. The small salary helps to keep your National Insurance records up to date; plus, dividend payments are taxed at a lower rate than salary payments. The amount that will be paid as a salary and the amount as dividends will depend on the recipient’s income level, the tax threshold for that year, and current HMRC regulations.
The different costs of accounting services for limited companies are based on the size of the company, its turnover, and what types of services it requires. The average monthly price of an accounting service is £80 to £150 per month for typical packages in the UK. A number of accounting companies such as Budget Accountants provide pricing that is clear and fixed, allowing directors to budget accordingly with no hidden charges.
