Just moved house so it's a good time to sort my papers out. My company year end is 31st Dec, and I've just came back from the accountants to sort out corp tax for 2015. The file I usually keep for some reason goes by tax year but after coming back from accountants, I have some papers which overlap into 2016 which I have to now keep separately. My file has obvious separators for receipts, invoices, wages, dividend vouchers, etc.

How do you guys arrange your files? Going forward I think I'll do calendar year and maybe keep a separate file for my wages as they are needed on a tax year basis? I'm a bit OCD about keeping everything tidy so any guidance would be appreciated.

12 divider folder from Lidl . Copies of those that overlap in later year originals in early folder.

I use a dustbin liner and every year end tip it over my accountant's desk.
