Acceptable Turn Around For EOY Accounts

[pmeswani]

Not correct.

• You pay CT 9 months after your year end
  
• You file to Companies House 10 months after year end
  
• You file to HMRC 12 months after year end.

A month in business isn't a long time... so it doesn't really matter if it is 8 or 9 months.... I need to chase my accountant at the right time. My Year end is in March 2009, and even though I have 9 months, I plan to get as much as possible done as soon as possible so that I have the option of moving Accountants sooner rather than later. I am going to have to get my Sage Accounts Software up to date by then so that I can start self-invoicing rather than relying on the Accountant to do it.

If i am really nit picking you have 9 months and one 1 day to pay the CT! Accounts are 10 months, although this is changing to 9 months for periods starting after 6 April 2008.

You have to prepare the accounts to work out how much tax is due but you can always make a payment to account, if you roughly know how much you are due to pay.
