Accounting for late accounts

Account filing can be tedious; missing a tax return deadline is worse. HMRC and Companies House often issue penalties for businesses that fail to file their accounts on time, which then increase until the correct statutory submissions are made. At Caroola, we aim to avoid penalties for late filing of accounts at all costs through accurate and timely preparations and close monitoring.

How we help

Running a business takes a lot out of a person. Understandably, sometimes paperwork gets misplaced, or deadlines get missed. Our business accountants are in your corner to ensure this doesn’t happen, while you’re freed up to devote your energy to running your business.

We handle all aspects of your accounts’ filing to reduce the risk of penalties and keep your business compliant with HMRC. You are also freed from the stress of trying to manage deadlines and complex paperwork. If you have a valid reason for a late tax return, we can also help establish whether you could benefit from notifying HMRC. Whatever your business structure, we’ll find an approach that works for you.
