Different Filing Dates - Help!

Didn't find your answer?

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.

Sorry

Yes thank you - I just realized how dumb I am being. I am getting mixed up between set of accounts and a tax return.

Accounts went to CH and Tax return to HMRC all filed electronically through the HMRC website.

I also realized a typo in my original message. Should of read: HMRC shows 06/04/14 to 05/04/15??!! 

So CH return had a date of 01/05/14 to 30/04/15.

Tax return has date of 06/04/14 to 05/04/15.

Does it matter the dates between on a set of accounts and a tax return are different? Could difference in the dates just be down to when I incorporated?

Time to get an accountant I think lol.

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 ?

I actually had to look up prepositions. I had no idea what it meant haha.

I do apologise. My spelling and grammar are not the best. Pretty frightening considering I was privately educated!

Anyway I digress. 

Company was incorporated in 2009. Traded the first year. From then onwards I filed dormant accounts. The company then started trading again in March 2014.

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.
