Worth knowing

Rules that come up in this work

Closing a company

Voluntary strike-off is available only to solvent companies. One that owes money it cannot pay needs a creditors' voluntary liquidation through a licensed insolvency practitioner, and directors who dissolve an insolvent company face personal consequences. For a solvent company the process takes three to four months from filing the DS01, with notice to creditors and shareholders within seven days.

Confirmation statements and identity verification

Companies House has tightened its requirements under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act: every company needs a registered email address and an appropriate registered office, every statement includes a lawful-purpose declaration, and every director and PSC must verify their identity. The confirmation statement, due annually with a £50 fee, is where most of this is confirmed.

CIS deductions

Under the Construction Industry Scheme, contractors deduct 20% from a registered subcontractor's labour invoices, or 30% if unregistered, and pay it to HMRC. The subcontractor reclaims the deductions against their actual tax through Self Assessment, usually producing a refund because deductions are on turnover while tax is on profit. Contractors file a monthly return by the 19th.

Late filing penalties

HMRC's penalties for a late Self Assessment return are automatic: £100 the day after 31 January, £10 a day from three months late up to £900, then the greater of £300 or 5% of the tax at six and twelve months. Interest and separate late-payment penalties apply to the tax itself. Companies House charges £150 to £1,500 for late accounts, doubling for a second consecutive year.

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax began in April 2026 for sole traders and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000, extends to those over £30,000 in April 2027 and is planned for £20,000 in April 2028. It requires digital records in compatible software and four quarterly updates to HMRC each year, with a final declaration replacing the traditional return. Payment dates are unchanged.

The Self Assessment calendar

Self Assessment runs on a fixed annual cycle. Registration by 5 October following the tax year, online filing and payment by 31 January, and a second instalment on 31 July for those making payments on account. The penalties for lateness are automatic and escalate monthly, which is why we file early and chase approvals well before the window closes.

Payments on account

A common surprise in Self Assessment is the January payment that is far larger than expected. That is the balancing payment for the year just ended plus the first payment on account for the year ahead, which HMRC sets at half of the bill just calculated. We put the figure in your hands months ahead and tell you how to adjust it legitimately when circumstances change.

Questions

Accounting Software Support questions from Falconwood

Can you fix VAT returns that were filed from the software wrongly?

Yes. We reconcile each filed return to the transactions, identify the errors, and correct them in the software and, where required, with HMRC through the next return or a formal error correction. The cleanup fee covers the software work; any HMRC correction is quoted separately before we start.

What if I want to do my own bookkeeping after setup?

That is exactly what the setup and training are for. Many clients keep their own books in the software we set up and come to us only for the year-end accounts and tax return, which is cheaper for them. We configure bank rules and automations so the routine work is mostly matching, not typing.

Will the setup make my year-end cheaper?

Usually, yes. Our own limited company and sole trader accounts fees assume reconciled records, and a properly set up file produces them. Accounts prepared from a tidy software file take days; accounts rebuilt from a broken one take weeks and cost more. The setup fee is typically recovered in the first year-end.

Can you connect my online shop or payment processor?

Yes. Marketplace and e-commerce platforms, card processors and payment gateways can be integrated so that sales, fees and payouts post automatically and reconcile to the bank. Getting the fee and VAT treatment right on these integrations is where most e-commerce files go wrong, and we configure it as part of the setup.

Who pays for the software subscription?

You do, directly to the software company, so that the data is yours and you can change accountant without losing it. Subscriptions range from a few pounds a month for basic sole trader tools to around £35 for the fuller platforms. We will tell you if a cheaper tier is sufficient.

Do you provide training?

Yes. The £89 session is 90 minutes by video call, recorded for you to replay, covering the tasks you actually do: raising invoices, capturing receipts, matching bank transactions, running the VAT return, reading the reports. A written quick-reference follows. Several staff can attend the same session.

Do you have an office in Falconwood?

No. IGI Accounting is an online-only firm. We serve Falconwood and every other UK postcode remotely, with records sent by WhatsApp or email and everything filed electronically. The absence of local premises is why the fee for accounting software support is the same in Falconwood as anywhere else in the country, and why there is nothing to visit and nothing to print.

Is accounting software support in Falconwood really the same price as elsewhere?

Yes. The fee published on this page is what a client in Falconwood pays and what a client in any other part of England pays. It is confirmed in writing before work starts and the invoice matches the quote. Where a higher package applies because your situation is more complex, we say so at the quote stage, never afterwards.
