Frequently asked questions

As a Limited Company, you’re always liable for Corporation Tax on your profits. On top of that, you may need to pay VAT, deduct Income Tax and National Insurance via Payroll software , pay tax on dividends, pay capital gains tax and register for Self Assessment. Let QuickBooks collect all the data you need while a registered accountant helps you make the relevant adjustments, calculations and submissions.

On top of completing your annual tax returns, you need to complete and file accounts on an annual basis as a Limited Company. Depending on your company size, you may be required to have the accounts audited – visit Gov.uk to see if your company is exempt . If you require annual audits they must be produced by a professionally qualified accountant that has access to your financial data in QuickBooks.

If you run a Limited Company, you need access to accounting features such as Payroll and financial reporting. You may also want to be able to add additional users to your accounting software so you can collaborate on your books. And while you’re running your business, you’ll want your software to keep track of all the data you need to prepare your tax returns, such as Income Tax and capital gains tax.
