Keeping Accurate Business Records is Key to Achieving Successful Corporate Compliance


✓Register for Corporation Tax

Your business can commence trading as soon as you receive confirmation of your registration from Companies House, along with your Registration Number and Certificate of Incorporation.

Following your incorporation, it is necessary to register your business for Corporation Tax with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). This step is crucial for HMRC to recognise your business's obligation to pay corporation tax.

Once your company is registered, HMRC will automatically issue a Unique Tax Reference (UTR) to your business. This reference will be sent via letter to your Company’s Registered Office address within 1 to 3 weeks after your limited company registration. Therefore, it is imperative to ensure that your Company’s Registered Office Address is accurate and accessible.

It is important to keep this UTR secure, as it will be required for all correspondence with the UK Tax office concerning your Corporation Tax obligations.

You are required to register for Corporation Tax with HMRC within three months of beginning to trade.

If you have registered your company to Protect Your Company Name and are uncertain about when your business will become operational, you must inform HMRC to ensure they maintain accurate records of your business.
