Year End Panic Syndrome

Year End Panic Syndrome

twitter icon
Remember when your company year end felt a long way off?

It feels like spring was just 5 minutes ago

You blinked and now it is late October

The clocks go back this weekend, the evenings are drawing in and time is flying by

Of course, every company has its own year end and it can fall on any date

But that makes it easy to lose track of amongst all the other things you have to focus on

It is worth knowing where yours sits & being prepared ahead of time, because a lot flows from it

Your corporation tax bill:

For most companies, payment is due nine months and one day after the year end

Your accounts:

Preparing them takes time and the sooner the records are in order, the smoother it goes

Your planning window:

Decisions about spending, investment and how you take money from the business are easier to make before the year end than after it

If your year end is coming up, there is still time to look at where the business stands, work out roughly what the bill will be and set the money aside

If it is a way off, now is a good time to get the records in order so it does not catch you out
