Year-end accounts are mandatory can attract penalties if not prepared accurately and submitted on time. Verity Accountants can help you with year-end to meet deadlines.

Year-end accounts often form the basis of your Self-Assessment tax return and provide a valuable insight into your business.  If you’re a sole trader or your business is a partnership, year-end accounts will form the basis of the business owners’ self-assessment tax return.

For owner-managed limited companies, the limited company accounts will contain details of the directors’ salaries and the dividends paid to shareholders, which will need to tally with their self-assessment tax return. For a partnership business, the year-end accounts will also provide the balance on each partner’s current account.
