Sorry for stating the obvious but these should really be directed to your accountant. That's what you're paying them for.

he is old school and never does anything online.

I already have the full acounts done ( thx to Darren@UptonAccountants as well) which I can post to them but decided at last minute to go via the companies house online PDF format which is why I am raising the question due to ambiguity and lack of adequate guidlines/notes from CA

Abreviated accounts? Are you sure you have that right? I have always sent the full accounts as PDF.

Abbrev Accounts

Abbreviated accounts can be filed online through the webfiling area on Companies House website....we've done this for a few companies, much more reliable than the post!

Hi people,
I have just tried to submit full accounts online at companies house but looks like I cant do that because I have to use the abbreviated accounts PDF and submit that way.

So I decided to fill out the abbbreviated accounts PDF.

Couple of questions I need clariffication on relates to the Notes to account section:-

(1)Profit and Loss Account -- do i just paste content of my p&L in the pdf?

Do you mean the balance sheet? There's no P&L on the abbreviated accounts.

(2) Transactions with directors -- what goes here?

I put in something like the following:

The company has a loan from its Director, Mr. X, of no fixed date of repayment, of £252.62. The company made salary payments to Mr. X of £6,000. The company made contributions to Mr. X's pension of £6,000.

(3) related party disclosures -- what goes here?

left it blank.

Be aware that if you copy and paste any curly quotes from Office (' ") the pdf submission will not work, and will just give a cryptic error message about PDF2XML.

I logged in yesterday to submit my version of full accounts.

The site only takes me as far as downloading the abbreviated accounts

template, nothin else. It seems to presume that I will initiate a submission via the pdf form.

I will call them now to see how the heck i get the uption to submit my own version of full accounts

Blood 'ell they have changed it! You are right, no way to submit full accounts online. Last time I just converted my Word doc accounts to PDF and submitted them. If I now have to type all the figures again into a sodding template I may as well go back to post. Government agencies exist only to waste our time.

It doesn't take very long, it's only a balance sheet with about 10 boxes in it.

About 15 minutes I reckon.

There's no reason for small companies to submit full accounts.
