You need UK tax registrations for two key reasons:
In detail:
If the company is VAT registered (mandatory for companies in UK with turnover more than £90,000) you need to file VAT returns to HMRC quarterly. If you employ staff, you will need to submit payroll returns to HMRC and pension filings to pension provider on monthly basis. Therefore, it’s strongly advised to use monthly bookkeeping. This ensures timely and accurate reporting.
If your company doesn’t have any monthly payments, purchases or sales invoices or no VAT number, then it is sufficient to do the whole accounting at least once a year, before submitting the annual report. Accurate bookkeeping helps you track your finances and stay compliant.
In the UK, businesses can voluntarily register for VAT at any time, even if their turnover is below the mandatory registration threshold of £90,000.
Voluntary registration allows companies to reclaim VAT on business expenses and can also enhance their credibility, as potential clients will be able to verify their VAT number on the HMRC website.
However, it also means they must charge VAT on their sales and comply with VAT reporting requirements.
Yes, every limited company in the UK must file annual accounts and tax return every year. If your company is fully dormant, you will still need to file dormant accounts. You will also need to file nil tax return to HMRC even if the company is dormant. Good bookkeeping ensures these filings are accurate and timely.
You will have to pay penalties if you do not file your accounts and tax return with Companies House and HMRC on time.
Not filing your accounts or confirmation statements is a criminal offence. Directors or LLP designated members could be personally fined for this in the criminal court.
