Doing Business in the UK

Two Bodies, One Coordinated Team

A UK company deals with two main bodies — Companies House, the registrar that incorporates your company and holds its public record, and HMRC, the tax authority for Corporation Tax and VAT. We handle both, so your incorporation, tax registration and ongoing filings sit with one team.

Company Formation

Ltd registration with Companies House through to your certificate of incorporation.

Tax with HMRC

Corporation Tax and VAT registration and filing with HMRC, kept current.

Statutory Filings

The confirmation statement and annual accounts filed with Companies House.

Accounting

Bookkeeping and accounts maintained to standard for reporting and filing.

Your Recurring Obligations

The UK Filing Picture

A UK company’s recurring filings fall into two groups — company information to Companies House, and tax to HMRC. Here is what each one is. We keep them on track for you.

To Companies House

Company information

Confirmation Statement

Confirms your registered office, directors, shareholders and people with significant control are up to date on the public register. Filed on a recurring annual basis.

Annual Accounts

Statutory accounts giving a picture of the company’s financial position for its accounting period. Filed each year.

To HMRC

Tax

Corporation Tax Return

The company tax return (CT600) reporting profits and Corporation Tax, filed with HMRC annually — required even if no tax is due.

VAT Returns

For VAT-registered companies, VAT returns are filed with HMRC periodically through Making Tax Digital-compatible software.

Deadlines and thresholds are set by Companies House and HMRC and can change. We track the current dates that apply to your company so filings are made on time.

United Kingdom FAQs

Business in the UK, Answered

What business services do you provide in the UK?

We cover the full corporate lifecycle in the UK — limited company formation with Companies House, HMRC registration for Corporation Tax and VAT, accounting and bookkeeping, and ongoing statutory filings such as the confirmation statement and annual accounts. You can engage us for a single task or as end-to-end support.

How do I register a limited company in the UK?

A UK limited company is registered with Companies House, which issues a certificate of incorporation confirming the company legally exists. Registration is generally open to non-UK residents. After incorporation, the company registers with HMRC for Corporation Tax, and for VAT and PAYE where they apply. We handle the incorporation and the follow-on registrations for you.

What is Companies House?

Companies House is the UK’s registrar of companies. It incorporates limited companies, maintains the public register of company information, and receives ongoing filings such as annual accounts and the confirmation statement. UK company law sits under the Companies Act 2006. We deal with Companies House filings on your behalf.

What is HMRC?

HMRC (His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs) is the UK’s tax authority. For companies it administers Corporation Tax, VAT and PAYE, among other taxes. We handle HMRC registration and ongoing filing so your company stays current.

What is a confirmation statement?

The confirmation statement is a recurring filing to Companies House that confirms the company’s key public-register details — such as registered office, directors, shareholders and people with significant control — are accurate and up to date. It is separate from your accounts and tax return, and it is required even if the company has not traded. We prepare and file it for you.

What is the difference between Companies House filings and HMRC filings?

In broad terms, Companies House deals with company information (incorporation, annual accounts and the confirmation statement), while HMRC deals with tax (the Corporation Tax return, VAT returns and PAYE). They are separate obligations with separate filings. We manage both sides so nothing is missed.

Does my UK company need to register for VAT?

VAT is administered by HMRC, and whether your company must register depends on your taxable turnover relative to the applicable threshold. We assess your position and handle VAT registration and periodic filing where required. Because thresholds and rules can change, we confirm the current position at the time of setup.

Do I still have to file if my company is dormant or made no profit?

Generally yes. UK companies typically still have to file a confirmation statement and accounts, and a Corporation Tax return can still be required, even when dormant or making no profit. The exact obligations depend on your situation, which we assess so nothing is missed. We’d confirm the current requirements for your specific case.

Do you provide accounting for UK companies?

Yes. We provide bookkeeping, annual accounts and ongoing tax filing for UK companies, giving you accurate records and a single point of contact for both the Companies House and HMRC sides.

Can non-residents own and run a UK company?

Yes. UK company formation is generally open to non-UK residents, and many overseas founders establish UK companies. We handle the incorporation and the tax and compliance setup for founders based outside the UK, and flag anything specific to your circumstances.
