Accounting periods
After the end of its financial year, a private limited company must prepare:
· full (‘statutory’) annual accounts
· a Company Tax Return
The accounts and tax return must meet the deadlines for filing with Companies House and HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
The accounting period for Corporation Tax is the time covered by your Company Tax Return. It’s normally the same 12 months as the company financial year covered by your annual accounts.
Your accounts may cover more than 12 months or less than 12 months. In which case different rules apply.
