1 Limited Company Guide A complete accountancy service for the small business across the United Kingdom
2 What is a limited company? A limited company is a type of business whereby the owner s liability is limited to the amount they have invested in the shares or guaranteed to the company. In other words, the owners of a limited company are not personally liable for the debts of the company. Small businesses generally choose to trade through a limited company as they can be much more tax efficient compared with trading as a sole trader or partnership. It does however need to be structured in the right way to take advantage of the savings available. Incorporating (forming) a limited company Forming a limited company is reasonably straight forward. First you must decide who the director(s) is going to be, i.e. the person(s) that will run the company along with who the shareholder(s) will be, i.e. the person(s) who will own the company. The directors and shareholders are often the same people in small limited companies and can be just one person. Once this has been decided, a formation agent or accounting practice can register your new company with Companies House, usually within 24 hours. We can form limited companies on behalf of our clients free of charge if they have registered with us for an ongoing service. What is a UTR number? A UTR or Unique Tax Reference is a number assigned to your company by HMRC. This number is assigned automatically after the company is registered with Companies House (usually within 28 days) and is the number that HMRC uses to identify your company as a tax payer. Please note, if you are a director, you will have your own personal UTR number also, which relates to your personal tax affairs. Page 1 Tel:
3 What is a UTR number? A UTR or Unique Tax Reference is a number assigned to your company by HMRC. This number is assigned automatically after the company is registered with Companies House (usually within 28 days) and is the number that HMRC uses to identify your company as a tax payer. Please note, if you are a director, you will have your own personal UTR number also, which relates to your personal tax affairs. What is bookkeeping? Bookkeeping is a term used to describe the process whereby a record is kept of transactions which have taken place within a business, such as income earned and expenditure incurred. Maintaining a good record of your business transactions is beneficial for many reasons: 1 To comply with the legal requirement that companies have 2 The company s profit and cash position are more transparent 3 The amounts owed from customers and to suppliers are more visible In addition, HMRC may want to check your company s accounts and tax return for inaccuracies. If you cannot provide accurate records, there can be large penalties to pay. Your business records should be kept for at least 6 years. How do I do my own bookkeeping? If you are completing your own bookkeeping you should ensure that the data you are inputting is accurate and you must keep evidence to back up your entries, such as customer invoices, supplier invoices receipts and bank statements. If your company is chosen by HMRC for investigation, then they will expect you to have kept this documentation. We highly recommend that you do not leave all of your bookkeeping work until the last minute, as entering transactions weeks or even months after they have occurred can make it much more difficult. Bookkeeping can be completed in various formats such as physical books and ledgers, spreadsheets and bookkeeping software. The most common method for a company is software because if used correctly, there is much less chance of errors compared to manual entry or a spreadsheet. Software also has the advantage of extra functionality such as reporting and the ability to import bank statements etc. Our clients have free use of cloud bookkeeping software ( which has been designed to be as simple as possible, whilst providing a comprehensive set of records. Alternatively we can provide clients with a spreadsheet if that is preferable. Page 2 Tel:
4 What expenses can you claim? Different types of business will have different types of expenditure. For example, a taxi driver will have weekly settle fees and a plumber will have tools and material costs. But the good news is, as a general rule the vast majority of business expenditure is allowable. Even expenses you have incurred personally for the business are generally allowable too. The most common business expenses are: Motor expenses The cost and running of your vehicle, or a mileage allowance instead Staff costs and wages Materials or goods that you sell Use of your home as an office or if you have an office, the rent, rates and utility bills Repairs and renewals This can include repairs to equipment or small renewals such as computer peripherals Admin costs This includes telephone and internet costs. Postage and stationery Advertising and marketing costs Business insurances Membership and subscriptions fees If you r e a member of an association for your business or subscribe to an industry magazine for example Work clothing Training Travel and subsistence Bank charges and interest on things like over drafts, HP agreements and loans. Capital expenditure for larger items such as equipment and furniture And finally, Entertaining costs Page 3 Professional fees such as accountancy and some legal fees Tel:
5 Bank account It is not a legal requirement for a company to have a bank account. However, we strongly recommend that you do open a company bank account which is used solely for the business. This will keep your business and personal transactions separate, which will make your bookkeeping much easier. What is a dividend? A dividend is a payment from company profits (after tax) to its shareholder(s). To declare a dividend, a dividend voucher and minutes must be produced. Once the paperwork is in place, the money can be transferred from the company bank account to the personal bank accounts of the shareholders. We can provide templates for dividend vouchers and minutes to our clients at no cost. What is the financial year? The financial year is a period of time for which a company will prepare its accounts and tax returns. The tax payable will be based on the amount of profit a company makes during its financial year. A limited company s financial year will usually run to the end of the same month of formation a year later, although this date can be changed. How much tax will my company pay? Company tax/corporation tax is currently set at 20%. This means any profits made during your financial period will be taxed at 20% Page 4 Tel:
6 When and how do I pay tax? Your corporation tax is due not later than 9 months and 1 day after your financial year end. Failure to pay your corporation tax on time could result in surcharges and interest being charged to the company. You can pay your corporation tax bill using the following methods: Faster payment Y ou can transfer the tax you owe directly into HMRC s bank account through faster payment. This means it will reach HMRC instantly. Page 5 Direct Debit If you'r e registered for corporation tax online you can set up a direct debit for HMRC to collect payment. This method allows you to set up future payments as soon as you know how much is due - for example when you complete your calculation. HMRC will only ever collect the amount you ask them to by direct debit. Billpay This online service allows you to pay your corporation tax bill online with your debit or cr edit card. You can register for Billpay at the following link Bank Giro If your bank or building society of fers the bank Giro Service then you can pay your corporation tax bill at your own branch with cash or cheque. Post Office Y ou can pay your corporation tax bill at the Post Office with cheque or cash. For further information about paying your corporation tax please contact your local tax office or see the following link What is the Annual Return, which is submitted to Companies House? The annual return simply notifies Companies House and the public as to the current company appointments, such as directors, shareholders and the company s registered office address. We include the submission of your annual return within the fees that we charge. What is the process for completing my accounts and returns? Once your bookkeeping has been completed up to the financial year end then it can sent to us. We will check the bookkeeping thoroughly and use this as a basis to compile your annual accounts and corporation tax return. Once completed, we will send you a copy of the accounts and tax return for your approval. Once approved, we will make the submissions to Companies House and HMRC on your behalf. Tel:
7 What are the deadlines and penalties for late submissions? Your accounts to Companies House are due no later than 9 months after your financial year end. Failure to submit the accounts on time will result in a 150 penalty which will continue to increase until they have been filed. For more information, please see Your accounts and corporation tax return are due to HMRC no later than 12 months after your financial year end. The penalty for late submission of the tax return is 100 which will continue to increase over time. For more information, please see The high penalties mean that it is very important that you send your records to us in good time before the deadlines. Following your financial year end we will send you regular automated reminders so that you know exactly when you have to act! How do I take money from the company? If the company is an owner operated limited company (i.e. the shareholders and directors are the same people) then it is normally more tax efficient for the director(s) to take a small salary up to the national insurance threshold and the remainder of their withdrawals as dividends. By structuring the withdrawals in this way the directors/shareholders do not pay income tax or NI (although contributions are still made). The only tax payable is corporation tax onthe profits of the company. If the company directors and shareholders are not the same people or the shareholdings are unequal then wages should be paid as per the hours worked in the company so that the distribution of funds is fair. When do I need to register for VAT? You must register for VAT if your turnover exceeds 82,000 ( ) in any given 12 months. However it s possible to register for VAT voluntarily before you reach this threshold. This could be beneficial if your customers are registered for VAT also. Please contact us if you would like to discuss this further. Page 6 Tel:
8 Registering as an employer If you take on an employee you will need to register as an employer with HMRC straight away and start running payroll. We can complete payroll for you or you can complete it yourself. You can contact HMRC on or give us a call. What is a HMRC tax investigation? Every year HMRC will select corporation tax returns to investigate. HMRC will select returns either at random or because the submitted figures do not look right. It is unlikely that you would be selected for an inspection but if you are, you would be asked to show your paperwork to back up the figures submitted to HMRC. If you are chosen for an inspection then we would represent you at no extra cost. Insurances When you start a business you must make sure you have the correct insurances in place. You will need employer s liability insurance if you have any employees, public liability insurance in case a customer or member of the public suffers loss or injury as a result of your business activity. If you sell your skills or knowledge then it would be a good idea to have professional indemnity insurance. This insurance protects your business against claims for damage or loss made by a customer or third party if you make mistakes or are negligent with some of the services you have provided. Why not speak with our insurance broker. He will guarantee you the best policy available at the best possible price, please contact us for further details. Page 7 Tel:
