Self Assessment
If you’re self-employed, a company director, a landlord, or have other untaxed income, you may need to file a Self Assessment tax return with HMRC each year. If you’re newly self-employed, register by 5 October; paper returns are due by 31 October, and online returns and any tax owed must be in by 31 January. HMRC penalties are automatic — an immediate £100 even if you owe no tax, rising the longer you delay. We’ll handle your return accurately and on time, so you avoid the fines and the stress.

Company Accounts and deadlines
Every limited company must file annual accounts with Companies House each year — even if it’s dormant or made a loss. For a private company, the deadline is 9 months after your financial year end (your first accounts get longer). Miss it and Companies House issues an automatic penalty, starting at £150 and rising the later you file — with penalties doubled if you’re late two years running. We prepare and file your accounts accurately and on time, keeping you fully compliant.
