Limited Company Accountant, UK

Running a Company, Without the Compliance Headache.

A limited company is a tax-efficient and credible way to run a business, but it comes with a compliance calendar that catches a lot of directors out. Each year you have statutory accounts to prepare and file at Companies House, a Corporation Tax return (CT600) to file with HMRC, a confirmation statement to submit, payroll to run if you take a salary, and a personal Self Assessment to complete because dividends are taxed through your own return. Miss any one of these and the penalties stack up fast, an automatic £150 from Companies House for late accounts, separate fines from HMRC for a late CT600, and interest on any tax paid late.

Your Tax Help Accountants is an HMRC-registered agent practice that takes the whole of that off your plate for a fixed monthly fee. We work with first-year contractors who have just incorporated, established owner-managed businesses, husband-and-wife companies, and directors who have fallen behind and need catching up. Whether you are a consultant in Manchester, an IT contractor in London, a tradesperson who has just gone limited in Leeds, or an e-commerce seller in Cardiff, the workflow is the same: a free fifteen-minute call to understand your company, a fixed quote, cloud bookkeeping set up properly, and every deadline tracked and met. The same accountant who scopes your company files its accounts.

Most directors who come to us are paying more tax than they need to, usually because their salary and dividend split has never been planned, dividends have not been documented correctly, or allowable company expenses are being missed. A proper review at onboarding typically finds savings that more than cover our fee.

What We Handle

A Complete Limited Company Service, Under One Fixed Fee

📊

Year-End Statutory Accounts

Full statutory accounts prepared to FRS 105 or FRS 102 standard and filed at Companies House on time, every year. We reconcile your bookkeeping, finalise the figures and explain the result before anything is submitted.

💷

Corporation Tax (CT600)

Your Corporation Tax computation and CT600 return prepared and filed with HMRC, with the tax calculated correctly at the right rate and every allowable deduction and relief claimed to keep your bill as low as legitimately possible.

🏛️

Companies House & Confirmation Statement

Annual accounts and your confirmation statement filed at Companies House, registered office and people-with-significant-control records kept current, and all statutory deadlines monitored so you never trigger a late-filing penalty.

👥

Director Payroll & Dividends

RTI payroll run for your director salary and any employees, payslips and pension submissions handled, and dividend vouchers and board minutes prepared correctly so every withdrawal is properly documented for HMRC.

🧮

Salary vs Dividend Planning

The most tax-efficient way to take money out of your company, a planned salary and dividend mix calculated for the current thresholds and your wider income, so you keep more of what the business earns.

🚀

Company Formation & Setup

New companies incorporated at Companies House with the right share structure, Corporation Tax and PAYE registration, VAT where relevant, and cloud bookkeeping in place from day one. Honest advice on whether going limited is right for you yet.

📝

Director Self Assessment

One director's personal Self Assessment included as standard. We coordinate the company and personal positions so salary, dividends and other income are taxed correctly together, with nothing missed or double counted.

⚠️

Catch-Up & Penalty Cases

Overdue accounts, late or unfiled CT600 returns, missed confirmation statements and HMRC penalty letters. We rebuild the records, file everything in the right order, appeal penalties where possible and bring the company back up to date.

📞

Year-Round HMRC Support

One accountant you can actually reach. Tax-planning questions, HMRC letters, dividend timing, expense queries and Time to Pay arrangements, all included in your fixed monthly fee with no charge per call.

Behind on Your Accounts or Corporation Tax?

Late accounts at Companies House trigger an automatic penalty starting at £150 and rising to £1,500 the longer they are outstanding, and a late CT600 brings separate HMRC penalties plus interest on unpaid tax. Persistent failure to file can even lead to the company being struck off. We take overdue companies through to full compliance routinely, usually within four to six weeks, and appeal penalties wherever there is a reasonable excuse.

Recent Client Outcome

How we saved a consultant director £3,100 a year by fixing how he paid himself

An IT consultant operating through his own limited company came to us after two years of running it on the advice of a friend. He was taking a full-time salary of around £42,000 from the company and almost no dividends, because nobody had explained the difference. That salary was generating employer and employee National Insurance, and the company was a deductible cost short of where it could have been, while his personal tax was higher than it needed to be.

We restructured how he draws money: a small salary set at the National Insurance threshold to preserve his state pension record and keep a deductible cost in the company, with the remainder taken as dividends from post-tax profit and documented properly with vouchers and board minutes. We also picked up allowable company expenses he had been missing, including home-office use, his mobile and broadband proportion, professional subscriptions and accountancy fees.

Combined annual saving from the salary and dividend restructure and the recovered expenses: approximately £3,100 a year. We now prepare his accounts, CT600, payroll and personal Self Assessment together under one fixed monthly fee, and his deadlines are tracked for him.

Limited Company Questions Answered

Frequently Asked Limited Company Questions

What does a limited company accountant do?
A limited company accountant handles the full compliance cycle that comes with running a company: preparing your year-end statutory accounts, calculating and filing your Corporation Tax return (CT600) with HMRC, filing your accounts and confirmation statement at Companies House, running director payroll and dividends, and completing the director's personal Self Assessment. A good accountant also plans the most tax-efficient salary and dividend mix and keeps you ahead of every deadline so you never pay a penalty. We do all of this for a fixed monthly fee agreed in advance.
How much does a limited company accountant cost?
Our limited company packages start from £75 per month and include year-end accounts, the Corporation Tax CT600, Companies House filing, the confirmation statement, director payroll and one director's Self Assessment, all for a fixed fee with no surprise bills. The exact fee depends on your turnover, number of directors and employees, and whether you are VAT registered. You get a fixed written quote after a free fifteen-minute call, so you always know the cost before you commit.
Should I pay myself in salary or dividends?
For most director-shareholders the most tax-efficient approach is a small salary up to the National Insurance threshold, which preserves your state pension record and is a deductible cost for the company, topped up with dividends from post-tax profit. Dividends are taxed at lower rates than salary and carry no National Insurance, but they can only be paid from real distributable profit after Corporation Tax. The optimal split changes with the tax thresholds each year and with your other income. We calculate the right mix for your situation and document it correctly.
What are the filing deadlines for a limited company?
Your annual accounts are due at Companies House nine months after your accounting year end. Your Corporation Tax is due for payment nine months and one day after year end, and the CT600 return must be filed within twelve months of year end. Your confirmation statement is due once a year on the anniversary of incorporation. If you run payroll, RTI submissions are due on or before each payday. Missing the Companies House accounts deadline triggers an automatic penalty starting at £150 and rising to £1,500. We track every deadline for you.
Can you set up my limited company for me?
Yes. We handle company formation end to end: incorporating at Companies House, setting up the share structure, registering for Corporation Tax, setting up PAYE if you will run payroll, registering for VAT where relevant, and getting your cloud bookkeeping in place from day one. We also advise honestly on whether a limited company is the right structure for you yet compared with staying a sole trader, because for some income levels it is not yet worth the extra admin.
I am behind on my company accounts or Corporation Tax. Can you help?
Yes, this is common and entirely fixable. We routinely take on companies with overdue Companies House accounts, late or unfiled CT600 returns, missed confirmation statements and the penalty letters that follow. We reconstruct the bookkeeping from your bank statements and records, prepare and file the overdue accounts and returns in the correct order, appeal penalties where there is a reasonable excuse, and agree a Time to Pay arrangement with HMRC if there is tax to settle. Most companies are brought fully back up to date within four to six weeks.
Do I still need to file my own Self Assessment as a director?
In most cases yes. If you take dividends, or have other untaxed income, you usually need to file a personal Self Assessment alongside the company's accounts, because the dividend tax is settled through your personal return, not the company. Our limited company packages include one director's Self Assessment as standard, and we coordinate the company and personal positions together so your salary, dividends and any other income are all taxed correctly with nothing missed or double counted.
