The question could have been framed more clearly but I think the gist of it is as follows. The company accounts include a provision for CT which has been reflected in the group accounts.
Subsequent events have shown that there will be an over accrual or under accrual of said CT.
This is not an unusual situation and in my view the difference should be adjusted in the next year. Presumably the accounts were consolidated after signing off by the directors?
Did one of these a couple of years ago and as I recall I had to do dummy P45s from the weekly payroll and set the employees up again under monthly pay. I seem to recall that Moneysoft at the time gave that advice.
Phew! I thought you'd caught me out because the dates correlate exactly with one of my client companies. However they're not a care provider so I'm in the clear.
Not a lot of sympathy I'm afraid. He seems to want the protection afforded by limited liability but not the transparency as regards accounts and just as important consumer protection.
As someone pointed out several dozen posts ago the OP would have been better off (probably) being self-employed. We don't know but on the basis that the OP has another (taxed) source of income he could have offset his losses and maybe recovered 20% of his losses as a tax refund.
I hope so anyway because that would be poetic justice.
It's not HMRC's fault - you shouldn't be working during the lunch hour. Don't worry about 31 January - I can't remember a year when it hasn't been extended to 1 February or 2 February because of HMRC incompetence.

Or have I misunderstood the whole question?
Or Betty's been rumbled!

Well said - I'll second that.
These accounts are priceless.

Agreed - sounds like a potential stalker to me.
