Accounts
If you run a business you are required to prepare annual accounts. The accounts will form the basis of your tax calculations – so it is important to get them right!
The format of the accounts and the deadlines involved depend on whether you run your business as a sole-trader, partnership or limited company.
Sole-trader/Partnership
Format: Accounts for a sole-trader or partnership have no set format but must have a profit and loss statement and often include a balance sheet.
Deadlines: Forms part of your self-assessment tax return. Deadline is 31 January following the end of the tax year.
