Company Accounts & Corporation Tax Compliance

Our Stoke-on-Trent based team prepares statutory accounts and corporation tax returns for limited companies throughout Staffordshire. We produce compliant year-end accounts under UK GAAP, complete with iXBRL tagging for electronic filing with Companies House and HMRC. Beyond basic compliance, we review your figures proactively to identify tax reliefs, capital allowances, and loss utilisation opportunities that reduce your corporation tax bill. Directors receive clear explanations of their accounts and tax position, with guidance on dividend planning and extracting profits efficiently. We manage filing deadlines and handle all correspondence with Companies House and HMRC, giving you confidence that your company remains in good standing.

Frequently asked questions

When is corporation tax due?

Corporation tax is due 9 months and 1 day after the end of your company accounting period. For example, if your year end is 31 March 2025, corporation tax is due by 1 January 2026. The corporation tax return (CT600) must be filed within 12 months of your year end.

What is the current corporation tax rate?

The main corporation tax rate is 25% for companies with profits over £250,000. A small profits rate of 19% applies to companies with profits under £50,000. Marginal relief applies between these thresholds, creating an effective rate between 19% and 25%.

What records do I need for company accounts?

You need bank statements, invoices for sales and purchases, payroll records, loan agreements, asset purchase documentation, and records of any director transactions. We recommend using cloud accounting software to keep everything organised throughout the year.
