Reverse dividend in submitted company accounts by making amendment

[Pennydroppers]

If OP had come on here saying they’d journaled a dividend in their accounts but had no paperwork and could they do the paperwork retrospectively, I’m sure would all be telling them that no, this would be fraudulent and the “dividend” should be treated as a director’s loan.

another directors loan? this could be attributed to a journal error. my accountant got me into this mess with bad advice. i'm looking for an out, but there is none..

Doesn't read as an error to me? Looks more like retrospectively altering your situation to reduce your tax burden. They really don't like that.

HMRC are allowed retrospection. We are not.
