Compliance is one of the most crucial (and often overlooked) aspects of running a business in the UK. Failure to meet HMRC and Companies House requirements can lead to penalties, fines, and unnecessary stress.
Key areas of compliance include:
- Annual accounts and confirmation statements (for limited companies).
- VAT registration and returns (if you exceed the threshold).
- PAYE and payroll processing (for employees).
- Self-assessment tax returns (for sole traders and directors).
- Making Tax Digital (MTD) obligations.
A good accountant won’t just prepare your paperwork—they’ll make sure you’re always up-to-date and compliant, leaving you with peace of mind.
