Practitioner noteWhat Saad Bin Riaz sees most often

Saad to provideHis own observation: what directors most often get wrong or misunderstand about their accounts and tax. In his own words, with no client names.

Whether to trade as a sole trader or a limited company depends on profit, liability and how the owner wants to take money out of the business. If you still trade as an individual, the page on accounts for sole traders covers Self Assessment instead.

Deadlines

Key limited company deadlines

A limited company has four regular dates to meet, and limited company accountants track all of them. These are the standard rules; your own dates depend on your company’s year end.

What Deadline Filed with
Annual accounts 9 months after the financial year endFirst accounts are due 21 months after incorporation Companies House
Company Tax Return (CT600) 12 months after the end of the accounting period HMRC
Corporation tax payment Usually 9 months and 1 day after the end of the accounting period HMRC
Confirmation statement At least once every 12 monthsIt can be filed up to 14 days after the review period ends Companies House

These dates depend on the company’s own year end, and late filing can bring automatic penalties. Dates checked against GOV.UK on 10 October 2026. Sources: annual accounts, Company Tax Returns, paying Corporation Tax and confirmation statements.

What usually goes wrong around filing dates
