Register your business entity with HM Revenue and Customs

Explanation:About the registration with the HRMC

When your limited company is formed and registered at Companies House, Companies House tells HMRC that this has happened. This applies whether you start your business as a limited company or change from a sole trader or partnership to a limited company. It also applies whether or not your company is active or has started trading.

HMRC sends a newly formed company an introductory pack within six weeks of being told by Companies House that the new company exists. This pack contains corporation tax forms and explanatory notes for new companies. The pack usually sent to your company's registered office, which may or may not be the same address that you trade from.

You should complete and send a completed form (new company details) to your corporation tax office as soon as possible. If your company is dormant, you should complete a dormant form instead.

It is important to complete these forms as HMRC uses the information you provide to work out your corporation tax paying and filing deadlines. They will send you a form to confirm these deadlines, unless you have told HMRC that your company is dormant.

If your new company has not yet started trading you need to tell HMRC as soon as possible if your company has been set up but is not yet trading or engaging in any business activity. In other words, your company is dormant.

Penalties for not telling HMRC your company is liable for corporation tax
If your company or organisation has corporation tax to pay but you do not receive a 'Notice to deliver a Company Tax Return' from HMRC, you still must tell HMRC it is liable for corporation tax. If you do not, your company or organisation may be charged a penalty. HMRC calls this a 'failure to notify' penalty.

Where the obligation to tell HMRC that your company or organisation is liable for corporation tax takes place on or after 1 April 2010, the penalty is based on the amount of tax that is unpaid or that your company or organisation is liable for. This called the 'potential lost revenue' or 'PLR'.

What we can offer you
1. To avoid any potential problems with the HRMC, we can offer you a straightforward registration of your company with the HRMC to confirm is your company is trading or not.
2. We can wait for an introductory pack from the HRMC, and then complete it & register with the HRMC for your behalf.
3. We can be appointed as your corporate tax-agent.
4. As soon as we will register your company with the HRMC we will be able to apply for an unique tax registration number for behalf of your company.

Explanation:About our registered office address service

Prestige and privacy for your business, protect your personal details.
No rental contract restrictions.
Your registered office address can be used on your company stationeries, business cards, e-mails and website.
Use the image of the building exterior on your website.
You will have the permission to list our address for your company or an LLP with Companies House & HMRC.
HMRC & Companies House incoming post forward to you.*

* We are forwarding an official mail to our UK based customers free of charge.

This service is particularly useful for small businesses, such as those being run from home, who would like a separate, prestigious registered office address to be displayed on the public record.

Our registered office address service charged annually, and includes official mail forwarding; it does not include the forwarding of general business mail or bank statements.

If you require to use registered office address for receiving and/or sending all other types of mail, or use registered address for your banking needs, please apply for the general business mail option at the relevant part of this section .

If your company or an LLP is active, you are also required to display the corporate name outside or inside the registered office address so that it is visible in plain sight for any potential clients, visitors, or governing authorities to see should they need to inspect your records.

However, if your business maintains a dormant status, you do not have to display your corporate name.

In addition, if you are a trading company, it is often common for government authorities such as Companies House or HMRC to do surprise inspections, or to investigate the bookkeeping or the VAT records of your company. This will not apply to dormant companies, as they not have traded.

If you require having your registered office address as the trading address and want to use it for the further inspections by a third party or by government authorities, please apply for this service separately.

If someone comes to our office to inspect your company records, we will need to aid this person in their duties, which can take a few hours at a time.

Important
In the case if you only need to have a registered office address for public records, & you will keep your company' registers, accountancy and VAT records elsewhere within England or Wales, please provide us the details of your own SAIL (single alternative inspection location) address, and we will not charge you an additional fee.

The provision of a registered office address is fully in compliance with the Companies Act 2006 and the Companies (Trading Disclosures) Regulations 2008.
