Limited Company - ‘Key’ Companies House and HMRC Dates

Not as difficult as it may first seem but not easy either

There are a number of monthly, quarterly, annual and other key Companies House and HMRC Dates for filing information and/or payments which must be complied with when running a Small Limited Company. It is quite possible for an organised person to comply with these dates, but it may not always make business sense to do so, especially in a start-up phase when energies and resources, ideally, should be channeled to growing the business, exploring markets, developing products and the service offering etc. It may be better to employ a professional such as a qualified accountant to handle these compliance issues, leaving you free to concentrate on the business.
