Running a limited company means juggling Corporation Tax, statutory accounts, director's payroll, and dividend planning — all with strict Companies House and HMRC deadlines. Direct Assist Accountants provides complete LTD company accounting for Slough businesses, keeping you compliant while structuring your finances to legally minimise tax.
New directors are often surprised by how much ongoing filing a limited company requires — Corporation Tax returns, statutory accounts, confirmation statements, and payroll submissions all have separate deadlines with separate penalties for lateness. On top of this, many directors pay themselves inefficiently, taking an all-salary income when a salary-and-dividend combination would significantly reduce their personal tax bill. We manage the entire compliance calendar for you and structure your income the smart way.
If you operate through a limited company in Slough or the wider Berkshire area, our LTD accounting service keeps you compliant and tax-efficient year-round.
Full annual accounts prepared to Companies House and HMRC standards
Accurate calculation and timely filing every year
Monthly payroll processing with tax-efficient salary levels
Legally compliant dividend vouchers and tax-efficient profit extraction
Confirmation statements and any changes (directors, PSC, registered office) filed on time
Optional monthly or quarterly reporting so you always know where your business stands
Statutory accounts are due 9 months after your company’s financial year-end, and Corporation Tax is due 9 months and 1 day after year-end, though it must be paid before filing.
Most directors benefit from a combination — a low salary to preserve state pension entitlement, topped up with dividends taxed at a lower rate. We calculate the optimal split for your circumstances.
Companies House charges automatic penalties starting at £150 and increasing the longer the delay, plus HMRC penalties for late Corporation Tax returns — we make sure this never happens.
