Corporation Tax
All businesses needs accurate and reliable accounting but if you are a limited company you have certain things you need to do by law. For example your accounts should be put together by a Chartered Accountant and your paperwork submitted to Companies House annually. Your company will also be subject to Corporation Tax, something that is calculated differently to self assessment tax.

Bookkeeping
Keeping on top of your books is absolutely essential for any business. You will save money in accountancy costs by presenting complete books to your accountant at your year-end and you will avoid potential HMRC late payment fines.
In addition, regular attention to your books will highlight issues such as poor cash flow and bad debtors before they escalate into major problems. To help you keep control of your costs we offer a fixed price structure for our bookkeeping and VAT return preparation services.
Knowledge and Skill
Most importantly, the breadth of knowledge and skills within the practice can provide any additional support and advice. For example, we have a specialist tax department which can advise on complex tax issues or we could provide advice on bookkeeping or software training to maximise the benefits of your accounting software package.

Management Accounts
With the help of your professional advisor at DonnellyBentley, by taking the time to get to know the business behind your numbers, we can help you spot trends, develop KPI’s and keep your finger on the pulse to drive your business forward,
Management accounts are the best way to keep track of the financial health of your business and, most importantly, its profits.
Tax Planning
Taking stock of your business’s current situation will allow you to introduce strategic changes in good time to minimise your tax payments and maximise your post-tax income.
Financing your business
Whether you are looking to increase your overdraft or seeking finance for a new project your bank manager will be more supportive of your plans if you are able to provide regular, up to date accounts.
Buying new plant, equipment or vehicles
If you are thinking of making capital purchases, the timing can be very important. Tax allowances for capital purchases can vary significantly and may also be affected by the specification of the vehicle or equipment you buy. Reviewing your management accounts with your professional advisor will provide the opportunity to discuss your plans and optimise your decisions from a tax perspective.
Paying yourself
Taking professional advice prior to your year-end will mean that you have more options available to you to maximise your personal income from the business depending on your business status. If you are self-employed you simply pay tax on profits regardless of the amount you pay yourself. As a Limited company, your directors and shareholders pay tax on the salary or dividends they take. Dividends, however, do not attract a National Insurance charge. Don’t leave it too late and miss out on year-end planning opportunities.
