4-month old ltd co. No salary yet. Contract from Nov 07. Do I have to submit a P35?

A P35 is a PAYE statement. But if I have no employees and am not paying myself a salary yet then do I have to fill in one?
I have paid myself a small divi in Dec 07.
Initially you need to find out if you registered for PAYE, if your accountant set your company up fully I suspect that you will be registered for PAYE.
If so then you still need to prepare a NIL return, you cant file nil returns online so you need to file a paper one, just write NIL in big letters and complete the decleration and send in.
Maybe consider speaking to your accountant as it maybe beneficial to pay a small salary to utilise your personal allowance

Thanks
He can utilize his personal allowance without a formal salary. Just take out the 5k or so as a directors fee. I'm sure his accountant will do this.
Phone HMRC and ask. I'd suspect that you will have to even if it is a "null" return.
Just to say that you owe nothing.
Well I called up the HMRC and they said that as I am not paying myself a salary (which I'm not) I don't need to "register as an employer".
So following on from that I presume I don't need to complete form P35 because it is the "Employers Annual Return" and how can you have that if you are not an employer?
So I don't have to answer the dreaded question 6. Have I got around IR35?
