 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Imran to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable accountant. He helped me sort out a very complicated backlog of accounts and prepared my overdue tax returns with professionalism and attention to detail. Throughout the process, he was incredibly patient, took the time to answer all of my questions, and explained everything clearly. He guided me through each step and helped rectify issues that had built up over time, making what felt like an overwhelming situation much more manageable. I'm very pleased with the service I've received and truly appreciate his support. If you need help with your accounts or taxes, I would highly recommend Imran.

The work was completed promptly, my tax return was successfully filed, and I received a refund of overpaid tax. I found the cooperation efficient and helpful. Special thanks to Muhammad Saifullah for his assistance.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with a few different accountants before finally settling with Accotax, and we’re really glad we did. Their team is great. Abdul is responsive and easy to reach whenever I have a question, which makes a big difference. They take the time to understand how our business works and what our needs are. They are very knowledgeable, and when they don’t have the answer straight away, they take the time to look into it and get back to us quickly. Anum, who looks after our account on a day-to-day basis, including reconciling invoices and preparing the annual accounts, is amazing. She is professional, efficient, and follows the processes we have put in place together. She's also very quickin getting back to us whenever needed. We’re very happy to work with her and hope to continue doing so for as long as possible. Overall, Accotax has made our accounting experience much smoother and easier. We see them as a long-term partner as our business continues to grow. I would 100% recommend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have really impressed to date with all dealings with Accotax highly enough. From day one, they've made what can often be a complicated and stressful part of running a business feel straightforward and hassle-free. A special mention has to go to Anum, who has been friendly, incredibly responsive, and genuinely cares about providing the best possible service. No question is ever too much trouble, and she consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything is dealt with efficiently. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for an accountant they can genuinely trust.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about limited company accounting.

What services are included in LCA's package for limited companies?

Our service covers annual accounts preparation, Companies House filing, CT600 Corporation Tax returns, VAT returns, payroll, and director Self Assessment where applicable. We also provide salary and dividend planning, allowable expense reviews, and ongoing tax advice. Everything is handled by specialists who work exclusively with limited companies.

Who is LCA's service for?

How does LCA's pricing work?

What is the difference between annual accounts and a Corporation Tax return?

Annual accounts are financial statements filed with Companies House, showing your company's performance and position. A Corporation Tax return (CT600) is filed with HMRC to calculate the tax your company owes. Both are required, but they serve different purposes. LCA prepares and files both for you.

What are the CT600 filing obligations for a limited company?

Every limited company must file a CT600 Corporation Tax return with HMRC within 12 months of the end of its accounting period. Tax must be paid within 9 months and 1 day of the period end. LCA ensures your return is accurate and submitted on time to avoid penalties.

What are the Companies House deadlines for filing annual accounts?

Private limited companies must file annual accounts with Companies House within 9 months of the end of the financial year. For public companies, the deadline is 6 months. Late filing results in automatic penalties. LCA manages this process, so you never miss a deadline.

How does LCA's online service work?

Our service is fully online. You upload your documents through our secure portal, and your dedicated accountant reviews them. We handle all filings electronically, and you can access your accounts and tax returns anytime. Communication is via phone, email, or video call – whatever suits you.

How do I get started with LCA?

Simply visit our website and complete the online onboarding form. We'll then assign you a dedicated accountant who will guide you through the process. You'll receive a welcome pack with instructions on how to upload your documents. From there, we manage your compliance and tax planning.
