What does a limited company accountant do?

- Annual accounts
- Corporation Tax returns
- VAT returns
- Payroll
- Director tax returns
- Bookkeeping
- Financial reporting
- Tax planning
- Companies House filings

How much does a limited company accountant cost in the UK?
The cost depends on the size and complexity of the business. Basic limited company accounting packages in the UK often start from around £25–£100+ per month, depending on services included such as bookkeeping, payroll, VAT and advisory support.
Is it more tax efficient to operate as a limited company?
For many business owners, operating through a limited company can be more tax efficient than being a sole trader. Limited companies may benefit from lower Corporation Tax rates, dividend planning opportunities and greater flexibility over director remuneration.
However, the best structure depends on your income, profits and long-term business goals.
What taxes does a UK limited company pay?
A UK limited company may need to pay:
- Corporation Tax
- VAT
- PAYE and National Insurance
- Dividend Tax (for directors/shareholders)
- Employer National Insurance
The exact taxes depend on the company’s turnover, profitability and payroll structure.
What expenses can a limited company claim?
Limited companies can usually claim allowable business expenses that are wholly and exclusively for business purposes. Common examples include:
- Software subscriptions
- Office costs
- Professional fees
- Business travel
- Marketing expenses
- Equipment and laptops
- Training related to the business
- Home office expenses
Proper bookkeeping and documentation are important for compliance with HM Revenue and Customs requirements.
What is the difference between salary and dividends for directors?
Many company directors take a combination of salary and dividends to improve tax efficiency. Salary is subject to PAYE and National Insurance, while dividends are paid from company profits after Corporation Tax.
The optimal structure depends on company profits, personal income and tax thresholds.
Can an accountant help reduce Corporation Tax legally?
Yes. A proactive accountant can help identify legitimate tax-saving opportunities such as:
- allowable expenses
- pension contributions
- capital allowances
- R&D tax relief
- director remuneration planning
- timing of expenditure
Tax planning should always comply with UK tax legislation and reporting requirements.
