I have yet to submit my accounts but I also know that Companies House or HMRC don't bother will small companies anyway

To counter act the naysayers, I do not use an accountant, by no means does that mean I do everything perfect, but after 5 years I think I am OK (with a bit of asking the good people in the professional forums for a bit of advice now and then), I use this software DIY Accounting Software, Small Business, Payslip Software, Tax Return, Limited Company UK
It is possible but very time consuming, you need to throw a lot of time into reading up on legislation etc., as has been said before the biggie will be come end of year, CT600's are a nightmare if you don't know what you are doing, even going back and comparing last years to this doesn't work as they awlawys seem to changeLast edited by SimonMac; 4 June 2015, 10:03.Originally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?

Remember you can get accountancy advice online here instead. But you have no idea if the advice is god or bad. And half the time someone(you know who you are) just tells you to read the first timers guide anyway.
