Basically, if I have sales of £10,000 and I have no expenses, then corporation tax is paid on...
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...
