Help!
I have just looked at my two company tax returns that I submitted electronically (one to HMRC and one to Companies House). The Companies House has a filing date of 01/05/14 to 30/04/15 and the HMRC shows 06/04/15 to 05/04/15??!!
Whats going on? Any ideas?
Many thanks.

More information needed
Why would you file a tax return with Companies House?
How were documents filed?
Is this the first year for the company?, if so when was the company incorporated?
At a guess
It seems like the accounts submitted to CH should have been for the period 06/04/2014 - 30/04/2015 and two CT returns for the periods 06/04/2014 - 05/04/2015 and 06/04/2015 - 30/04/2015.
Should of read:
Setting prepositions aside ....
Is this a first year ? When was the company formed ? When did you start trading ? Are you sure Companies House is asking for accounts for a year ? Or is it more than a year ?
Dates
Well they are not asking direct but when you file accounts through the system on the HMRC website you input all your accounting figures and it then gives you the option to submit to CH as well as HMRC. I am submitting abbreviated accounts.
Your tax accounting periods would end with a cessation of trade or your company accounting date (or some other, less likely, events). It'll be HMRC who are wrong and it'll be because you've not fed them the right information. You're not particularly clear on the dates, so it's difficult to be precise.
I'd guess March 2014 to 30 April 2014 then the year to 30 April every year until the company ceases trading. Be less economical with the facts and we can firm that up.
Oh - and you have two days to file the April 2015 accounts.
