Reduce tax, increase profit, and save time

A company has 9 months after its company year-end to file its accounts, however, we strongly recommend starting soon after your company year-end so that maximum tax savings can be applied. Resulting in lower tax bills. 

For limited companies, this usually falls on the anniversary of the last day of the month of when the company was formed. For example, if you registered your company on 1 January 2023, your Accounting Reference date will be 31 January every year from 2024. Your company’s financial year will run for a 12-month period from 1 January – 31 December each year

Choosing the right accounting software for your small business depends on your specific needs and requirements. Consider factors such as the size of your business, the complexity of your financial operations, and your budget. It’s important to evaluate different software options, compare features, and read reviews to make an informed decision.

Small businesses have various tax obligations, including filing income tax returns, paying quarterly estimated taxes, collecting and remitting sales taxes (if applicable), and reporting and paying payroll taxes for employees. It’s important to consult with an accountant or tax professional to ensure compliance with all tax requirements.

Keeping track of business expenses is essential for financial management and tax purposes. You can use accounting software or spreadsheets to record and categorise expenses. It’s important to retain receipts and invoices as supporting documentation. Regularly reviewing and reconciling your expenses will help you stay organised and make informed financial decisions.

Minimising small business taxes legally requires careful tax planning and compliance with tax laws. Some strategies include taking advantage of tax deductions and credits, structuring your business in a tax-efficient manner, maximizing retirement contributions, and staying up to date with tax changes and regulations. Consulting with a tax professional can help you identify opportunities for tax savings.

Regularly reviewing financial reports is crucial for monitoring the financial health of your small business. Key reports to review include the income statement (profit and loss statement), balance sheet, and cash flow statement. These reports provide insights into revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities, and cash flow. Analysing trends and variances can help you make informed business decisions.

Ensuring compliance with accounting regulations is essential for accurate financial reporting and avoiding penalties. Some steps to ensure compliance include keeping accurate and organised financial records, reconciling bank and credit card statements, properly classifying transactions, and staying informed about accounting standards and regulations. Working with an experienced accountant can help you navigate accounting requirements effectively.
