The business landscape in Glasgow

Example scenario

Key deadlines for Glasgow directors
These UK deadlines apply to every limited company, wherever it is based, so Glasgow directors follow the same calendar as everyone else. We diarise every date and remind you well before it arrives.
Missing them is expensive. Companies House charges automatic late filing penalties from £150 for late accounts, and HMRC adds penalties and interest for late Corporation Tax returns and payments. Your named accountant tracks each deadline, so nothing slips.

|---|---|
| Corporation Tax payment | 9 months and 1 day after year-end |
| CT600 return | 12 months after year-end |
| Confirmation statement | Every 12 months |
| Self Assessment | 31 January (online) |
| VAT return | 1 month and 7 days after period end |

Questions about accountants in Glasgow
Straight answers to what directors ask us most.
Does Scottish Income Tax affect my limited company?
Yes, if you live in Scotland. Salary is taxed at Scottish rates and bands, while dividend tax and Corporation Tax follow UK rules. We plan your pay mix with this in mind.
Do you file with Companies House for Scottish companies?
Yes. Scottish companies file with Companies House in the same way, and we manage accounts and confirmation statements for you.
Do you work with companies in Glasgow?
Yes. We work online with limited companies across Glasgow and the rest of the UK.
Do I need to visit your office?
No, everything can be done online.
What does it cost?
From £45.83 + VAT a month, with a fixed price agreed up front.
Can you take over from my current accountant in Glasgow?
Yes. We handle the professional clearance letter, record transfer and HMRC agent authorisation at no extra cost on a monthly package, so there is no gap in service.
Do you help Glasgow contractors with IR35?
Yes. We advise whether you are inside or outside IR35 and set up salary, dividends and expenses efficiently. See our contractor accounting service.
What happens if I miss a filing deadline?
Companies House charges automatic late filing penalties from £150 and HMRC adds penalties for late returns. We diarise every date so this does not happen.
Is the service different for Glasgow than elsewhere in the UK?
Salary is taxed at Scottish Income Tax rates and bands, which differ from the rest of the UK. Dividend tax and Corporation Tax follow UK rules. We model your salary and dividend mix using the Scottish bands so you see the true take-home figure.
What does a limited company accountant actually do for Glasgow directors?
A limited company accountant looks after the legal and tax obligations your company has to meet. That means preparing and filing your statutory year-end accounts with Companies House, submitting your Corporation Tax return (CT600) to HMRC, filing your annual confirmation statement, and preparing your personal Self Assessment return as a director. Depending on your package we also keep your books up to date, file VAT returns under Making Tax Digital, run payroll, and advise on the most tax-efficient mix of salary and dividends. The aim is that every deadline is met, you pay no more tax than you legally need to, and you always know where your company stands.
When should a Glasgow sole trader or freelancer switch to a limited company?
There is no single right moment, but many people consider it once profits are comfortably above what they need to live on, when they want to limit personal liability, or when clients prefer to contract with a company. A limited company is a separate legal entity, so the business can retain profit, pay you a mix of salary and dividends, and claim a wider range of expenses. It also brings extra admin, such as statutory accounts, a confirmation statement and payroll, which is where a fixed-fee accountant helps. We will run the numbers for your situation and tell you honestly whether incorporating is worth it now or later.
How do I choose the right accountant in Glasgow?
Look for an accountant who is a member of a recognised professional body such as ICAEW, ACCA or AAT, who quotes a clear fixed monthly fee, and who gives you a named person to contact rather than a call centre. Ask what is included, whether VAT, payroll and tax planning are covered or charged extra, and how quickly they reply. Reviews from real clients are a useful guide. At Limited Company Accountant UK you get all of this: qualified oversight through Accotax, fixed packages from £45.83 + VAT a month, and a free initial conversation so you can decide whether we are the right fit.
