What you are responsible for as a director
GOV.UK lists the duties: keep company records, prepare annual accounts, complete the Company Tax Return, file both, pay Corporation Tax and report certain information. You can hire an accountant to do the work, but you stay legally responsible for the company’s records and accounts.
That is the point of having someone who tracks dates for you. JT Accountancy says it keeps your key filing dates visible so there is no last-minute rush.
The three clocks that start at your year end
Accounts go to Companies House within 9 months of the company’s financial year end. Corporation Tax is due 9 months and 1 day after the accounting period ends. The Company Tax Return (CT600) is due 12 months after the accounting period ends. They are different filings for different bodies, which is why they get mixed up.
Corporation Tax in plain terms
The main rate is 25%. Companies with profits of £50,000 or less pay the small profits rate of 19%, and there is marginal relief for profits between £50,000 and £250,000. The thresholds are reduced for short accounting periods and where there are associated companies, so ask before you assume a figure.
Paying yourself
Directors usually take a mix of salary and dividends. For 2026 to 2027 the dividend allowance is £500, and dividends above it are taxed at 10.75% in the basic rate band, 35.75% in the higher rate band and 39.35% in the additional rate band. The right mix depends on your whole income, so it is worth a conversation before the year end rather than after.

Questions about limited company accounts
When are limited company accounts due?
Companies House accounts are due 9 months after the company year end. Corporation Tax is due 9 months and 1 day after the period ends.
Can you file Companies House accounts and the CT600?
Yes. JT Accountancy can prepare the year-end accounts, the Corporation Tax calculation and the CT600 so the filings match.
Is the company tax return separate from the accounts?
Yes. The CT600 is the Corporation Tax return, prepared from the company accounts and tax calculation.
Can you help me plan director pay?
Yes. Director salary and dividend planning is part of the work, usually before the year end while there is still time to act.
