At the end of a company’s financial year, temporary accounts should be closed. Unlike a permanent account – which accumulates balances on an ongoing basis across many fiscal years, temporary accounts are used to track financial activity for a single fiscal year. Temporary accounts primarily include the income statement (also known as profit and loss statement) sections of your accounts. This means all revenue, expenses, and gains or losses recorded during the year fall under temporary accounts.
By closing these accounts, the entire balance in any active temporary account is moved to retained earnings, and the net amount of the moved balance signifies the loss of gain a company has earned during the financial period. Retained earnings are located on the statement of financial position (also known as a balance sheet), This process is essential for year-end reporting, as it resets the temporary accounts to zero, preparing them for the next fiscal year.
The date your company’s accounting period ends is different from the tax year, which runs from April 6th to April 5th. Every limited company has its own financial year beginning from the date you began trading as specified with Companies House when you registered. This period runs until the day before that date in the following calendar year.

When running a limited company, there are key dates to keep in mind when dealing with your financial reporting. Each company is different but all fall into the same time frames, which include:
Sending first accounts to Companies House: This must be done twenty one months after your company’s date of registration.
Subsequent statutory accounts to Companies House: Any subsequent accounts must be filed nine months after the end of your company’s financial year.
Pay Corporation Tax to HMRC: Whether you’re paying corporation tax, or informing HMRC that there is nothing to pay, this must be done nine months and one day after the end of your accounting period.
Your Statutory Accounts must be filed with Companies House and a copy to HMRC with your company tax return (CT600), and because the period to do this is longer than that of corporate tax, you can pay your tax before filing its tax return. At Every Penny Accounts, we can help your limited company, start up, or SME estimate the amount of tax due and resolve any overpayment later down the line. It’s important to file your tax return on time to guarantee your company pays the correct amount of tax and we can help you do this while assisting with your year-end accounts.
