Hello,

I am thinking of going from sole trader to a limited company for which I would be the sole shareholder, sole director and sole employee.
Has any of you done this? If so could you please tell me what my balance sheet and p&l account should include as an absolute minimum to be accepted by HMRC ?

(I know I could ask an accountant but I would ideally like to save the GBP320 he is prepared to charge for this service).

Thank you very much for your reply,

In fact, after writing my post last night, I found out that everything is 'clearly' explained on the HMRC website, which contains a demo of their company accounts joint online filing service.

Hello Jean-Luc,

If your accountant charges 350.00 GBP, you are getting a good deal if, of course, his service includes the annual preparation of your company's accounts and their submission to the tax man. Can you pass on his contact details maybe ? Most accountant would charge over £1000.00 a year for this.

Regards,

Eddie

For the self-employed, I do believe that those with the time, inclination, who understand a few basic accounting concepts (and what "wholly and exclusively" means!) and how a spreadsheet works can do it themselves. I do.

Ltd companies - different kettle of fish. Lots more filing requirements, hefty fines for missing them... I'm thinking of doing the same as you, and although I think I've got all the info I need for a proper comparison of the ultimate net earnings (primary class 1 threshold, upper earnings limit, how income tax on dividends is dealt with, etc.), I'm still planning to see an accountant.

Potentially free of charge for the first consultation - see here:

Plus which, whichever status you have, that 320 quid is a deductible expense.

Im my number crunching to compare the earnings/tax between self employment and ltd co, I added £1000 to my costs as a putative company, which I do not pay being s/e at the moment, and I would still have been about £3k better off last financial year if I had been a company. And that's without any legal but crafty tricks the accountant might know to save a bit more.
