Corporation Tax, annual accounts and US federal returns. Prepared by us, then signed off and filed by licensed accountants in the relevant jurisdiction, against a calendar you can see from the day the company exists.
Most founders discover a deadline after it has passed. These are the ones that arrive whether or not anyone is watching for them.
Companies House and HMRC each want something, on different dates, from the same set of books.
Once registered, VAT does not wait for year end. Returns are quarterly and digital by default.
A US company files even in a year it earned nothing, and a foreign-owned one files more.
WEBMOSH is not a law firm or a licensed tax adviser. Statutory accounts and tax returns are prepared and filed with licensed accountants in the relevant jurisdiction, and the figures here describe process rather than tax advice about your circumstances.
Nothing about this works if the books arrive the week it is due. The calendar is built first and everything else hangs off it.
Every date the company owes, in both jurisdictions, mapped from the incorporation date and the registrations you hold.
Books reconciled through the year rather than reconstructed at the end of it, so nothing is being remembered in April.
Returns and accounts drafted and sent to you with the questions attached, while there is still time to answer them.
Reviewed and signed off by a licensed accountant in that jurisdiction, filed, and the receipt returned to you.
Tax work goes wrong in predictable ways: late books, a surprise liability, and nobody who can say whose job it was.
Every statutory filing is signed off by a licensed accountant in the jurisdiction it is filed in. We prepare; they file.
Every date the company owes is visible from day one, in both jurisdictions, with what is needed from you and by when.
You hear from us before a deadline, not after it.
Returns are drafted six to eight weeks ahead so the number is known while there is still time to do something about it.
The figure arrives with the questions, not after them.
We are not the ones certifying your accounts. A licensed accountant in the relevant jurisdiction reviews and files, and you are told who.
Anyone claiming otherwise is filing something they should not.
Books, ledgers, receipts and filed returns are exportable at any time in formats another accountant can take straight over.
Changing provider costs you a download, not a rebuild.
Ask before the deadline rather than after. The answers cost a great deal less that way.
Yes, in both jurisdictions. A dormant UK company still owes accounts and a confirmation statement, and a foreign-owned US LLC still owes Form 5472 with a pro-forma 1120 even with no income and no US tax due.
The penalties for not filing are not reduced because the company was quiet. Form 5472 starts at $25,000.
Yes, and that is the common case for our clients. What matters is that the two calendars sit together, because the year ends rarely line up and the information feeding both comes from the same books.
Each jurisdiction is signed off by an accountant licensed there.
Bank statements or read-only bank access, sales and purchase records, payroll if you run it, and answers to a short list of questions when the draft goes out.
If you are already on our bookkeeping, most of this is in place and the return is largely a formality by the time it is due.
Tell us anyway. Late is a worse problem the longer it is left, and in most cases the penalties are capped and can be appealed where there is a reasonable excuse.
We will tell you honestly what the exposure looks like before you commit to anything.
Send your jurisdictions and your year end. Your filing calendar and a fixed figure come back inside one business day.
