Sound like your limited company situation?

Most directors who switch to LOYALS arrive with the same handful of frustrations from their previous accountant. We sort them in one engagement.

💸

"My final bill is always a surprise"

Hourly billing means you don't know what you'll pay until the invoice arrives. We quote one fixed annual fee upfront — £1,200, £2,200 or £3,500 depending on complexity — and that's what you pay. No "complexity surcharges" at year-end.

📅

"I missed a Companies House deadline last year"

Three deadlines, three penalty regimes — £150 for being one month late at Companies House escalating to £1,500 if you slip past 6 months. We send reminders 60, 30 and 7 days before every deadline and file early as standard. Late filings simply don't happen for active clients.

⚖️

"Should I pay myself salary or dividends?"

The optimal split changed in April 2025 when Employer NI rose to 15% and Employment Allowance jumped to £10,500. Our Tier 2 and 3 packages include a year-end tax planning review modelling salary vs dividend extraction for your exact numbers — and our free Dividend vs Salary Calculator gives you an instant indicative figure.

📵

"My old accountant only answers in January"

Year-round support is included in every tier — WhatsApp, phone, email. Mid-year tax position questions, salary/dividend planning, decisions about big purchases, contractor onboarding — all covered, no per-call charges. Mon-Sat 10am-7pm extended hours.

🔄

"Switching accountants sounds like a nightmare"

It isn't. We handle the full transition: professional clearance letter to your previous firm, records retrieval, Form 64-8 to HMRC, no filing slip during changeover. Most switches complete in 2-3 weeks with you signing one engagement letter and nothing more. Free service — see our Switching Accountants page.

📊

"I never know where I stand mid-year"

If we're also handling your bookkeeping, we can give you a real-time tax position any month — what your CT bill is shaping up to be, how much you can safely take in dividends, whether to bring forward a big purchase. Tier 2 and 3 include quarterly check-ins as standard. No more flying blind.

What we actually do

Your full limited company accounting, handled end-to-end.

Three deadlines, three filings, one fixed fee, one accountant. Everything coordinated, nothing missed.

The LOYALS Annual Accounts & Corporation Tax service

If you run a UK limited company, you have three statutory obligations every year: file annual accounts at Companies House (within 9 months of year-end), file a Corporation Tax return (CT600, within 12 months of year-end), and file a Confirmation Statement (annually on the anniversary of incorporation). On top of that, Corporation Tax must be paid within 9 months and 1 day of year-end, and most directors have a personal Self Assessment to file too. Miss any of these and the penalties stack up fast — £150 starts the Companies House clock, with HMRC adding their own penalties for late CT.

Our service handles every one of these obligations for a fixed annual fee. Three tiers based on your company complexity — solo director, growing limited company, or complex multi-entity. Director's Self Assessment is included from Tier 2. You get one number to call, one fixed price, and zero late-filing risk.

Three premium packages · £1,200 to £3,500/year

⚡ 2025/26 changes affecting limited companies

Three shifts that have changed your extraction strategy.

If your salary/dividend split was set before April 2025, the maths has changed. Three reforms have made the optimal extraction structure different from what most directors are still running.

📈

Employer NI rate up

13.8%15%

Employer National Insurance jumped from 13.8% to 15% on salary above the Secondary Threshold from April 2025. Combined with the Secondary Threshold dropping to £5,000 (from £9,100), the effective cost of paying salary above ~£12,570 has risen sharply for owner-managed companies.

💰

Employment Allowance up

£5,000£10,500

Employment Allowance more than doubled from April 2025 — from £5,000 to £10,500 per company. This is the amount of Employer NI a company can offset against, but single-director companies don't qualify (you need at least one non-director paid above the secondary threshold). Multi-director companies benefit significantly.

🏛️

Corporation Tax steady

Volatile19% / 25%

The 19% small profits rate (up to £50K) and 25% main rate (above £250K) with marginal relief in between have remained stable since April 2023 and are confirmed to continue. Your Corporation Tax planning has more certainty than the dividend tax planning, where rates have moved repeatedly.

Frequently asked questions.

Updated for 2025/26 tax year. If your question isn't here, message us on WhatsApp or book a free 15-minute call.

How much does a premium limited company accountant cost with LOYALS?+
Three premium packages based on company stage and complexity. Solo Director Limited Company at £1,200/year covers your statutory annual accounts, Corporation Tax return, Companies House filing, Confirmation Statement and dividend voucher pack — director's Self Assessment is an optional £349 add-on. Growing Limited Company at £2,200/year includes everything in Solo plus one director's Self Assessment, payroll for up to 3 directors, and a year-end tax planning review. Complex Multi-Entity at £3,500/year adds up to 2 director Self Assessments, multi-entity or group accounting, quarterly check-ins, and priority WhatsApp access. All prices are excluding VAT. We deliberately price as a London chartered firm, not a budget online accountant — work is done by experienced staff with year-round support included.
What's included in the £1,200 limited company accounts service?+
Eight deliverables in the package. (1) Statutory annual accounts prepared to FRS 102 or FRS 105 standards depending on company size. (2) Corporation Tax return (CT600) filed with HMRC. (3) Annual accounts filed with Companies House. (4) Annual Confirmation Statement filed with Companies House. (5) Dividend voucher pack and dividend tax calculations for shareholders. (6) Year-end review call with your dedicated account manager. (7) Year-round WhatsApp and phone support included — no per-call charges. (8) Reminders 60 days, 30 days, and 7 days before every filing deadline. The £1,200 covers the company side; director's personal Self Assessment is £349 separately on this tier or bundled into Tier 2.
What is the Corporation Tax rate in 2025/26?+
Corporation Tax has two rates from April 2023 onwards. Profits up to £50,000 are taxed at the small profits rate of 19%. Profits above £250,000 are taxed at the main rate of 25%. Profits between £50,000 and £250,000 use marginal relief — a sliding effective rate that rises from 19% at £50K to 25% at £250K. The marginal relief calculation uses a fraction of 3/200 against the difference between £250,000 and your profit. For a company with £100,000 profit the effective rate works out to about 22.75%, producing a CT bill of £22,750. We calculate your exact bill and file the CT600 as part of the annual accounts service.
When are limited company filing deadlines?+
Three different deadlines all measured from your accounting period end date. Companies House annual accounts must be filed within 9 months of year-end (so a 31 March year-end means the accounts must reach Companies House by 31 December). Corporation Tax must be PAID within 9 months and 1 day of year-end (so the same 31 March year-end means CT due 1 January). The Corporation Tax return CT600 must be FILED within 12 months of year-end. Confirmation Statement is annually on the anniversary of incorporation (separate from year-end). Late filing at Companies House triggers automatic penalties starting at £150 and rising to £1,500 for delays over 6 months.
Should I take salary or dividends from my limited company?+
Most owner-managed limited companies optimise extraction with a small salary up to the Personal Allowance or NI Secondary Threshold (£12,570 typically) plus dividends to top up income to the desired level. The exact split depends on your other income, employer NI position, and whether the company qualifies for the Employment Allowance (£10,500 from April 2025). Dividend tax is 8.75% (basic rate), 33.75% (higher rate), and 39.35% (additional rate), with a £500 dividend allowance. The Employer NI rate increased to 15% above £5,000 from April 2025, which has shifted the optimal split. We model the comparison for your specific numbers as part of the year-end tax planning review (included in Tier 2 and 3) — and our free Dividend vs Salary Calculator gives you indicative figures.
Do I need a separate Self Assessment as a limited company director?+
Yes, almost always. As a limited company director you must register for Self Assessment and file a personal tax return covering your director's salary, dividends taken from your company, and any other personal income. The exception is rare cases where total income is below the dividend allowance plus Personal Allowance threshold. Our Tier 1 (£1,200) covers the company side only — director's Self Assessment is £349 add-on. Tier 2 (£2,200) bundles one director's SA. Tier 3 (£3,500) bundles up to two. The bundle saves you the £349 fee and ensures the company and personal returns reconcile correctly.
What if my limited company has multiple directors or shareholders?+
Tier 2 (£2,200/year) handles companies with up to 3 directors including payroll for those directors, dividend voucher packs for all shareholders, and director loan account tracking. Tier 3 (£3,500/year) handles up to 2 director Self Assessments included in the bundle plus more complex shareholder structures. Companies with more than 5 directors, foreign shareholders, or groups of trading entities are quoted bespoke based on the scope. Multi-entity work always includes consolidated structuring advice if appropriate.
Can LOYALS help me switch from my current accountant?+
Yes — and the switch is free. We handle the full transition: send a professional clearance letter to your previous accountant, retrieve your records, file Form 64-8 with HMRC to become your authorised agent, and make sure no filing deadlines slip during the changeover. Most switches complete in 2-3 weeks with zero work from you beyond signing the engagement letter. We routinely take on companies mid-year, mid-quarter, or just before year-end deadline — we plan around the timing. See our dedicated Switching Accountants page for the full process.
What happens if I miss a Companies House filing deadline?+
Automatic penalties from Companies House. £150 if up to 1 month late. £375 if 1-3 months late. £750 if 3-6 months late. £1,500 if more than 6 months late. Penalties double if you've filed late in the previous year too. Companies House also has the power to strike the company off the register for prolonged non-filing. HMRC charges separate penalties for late Corporation Tax returns and interest on late tax payments. With LOYALS you get reminder notifications 60, 30 and 7 days before every deadline plus actual filing handled for you — late filing is something we don't allow to happen for active clients.
How fast does LOYALS file my limited company accounts?+
From receipt of your year-end records (bookkeeping, bank statements, sales records, expense receipts) we typically prepare and finalise statutory accounts plus the CT600 within 2-3 weeks. Companies with clean bookkeeping or who use our Bookkeeping Service throughout the year complete in under a week. Filing with Companies House and HMRC is electronic and confirmed within 24-48 hours. We file your accounts well before the deadline by default — never the last minute. Year-round support means you can WhatsApp us at any point during the year with mid-year tax position questions, salary/dividend planning, or financial decisions involving the company.

Ready to file properly, on time, every year?

Three transparent tiers, fixed-fee pricing, year-round support, free SA302 and accountant references for life. Sign up in 5 minutes and we'll have your accounts filed well before deadline — Companies House, HMRC, and Confirmation Statement all handled. Mon-Sat 10am-7pm extended hours, same-day callback.
