Corporation Tax

Hi,

1. No need to have an accountant, although I'd obviously recommend you do!

2. This is the date you first started to actually trade (for eg first day on client site)

3. Yes - whilst you can choose any year end you like there is no advantage to be gained either way

4. PAYE - If you are paying yourself any form of salary from the company (you say a minimum wage), then you need to be registered for PAYE

Hope this helps.

I have recently set up my company and have a "Corporation Tax" form to fill in. I'm not sure on a couple of the points so I hope you don't mind me asking here.

• Is it a requirement to have an accountant as authorised agent?
• The date on which the company's first accounting period began : Would this be the date the company was setup? or the date when I received payment from my first invoice?
• The date the company intends to prepare it's accounts : It's says this is usually the reference date you agreed with the companies house. This is : "Accounting Reference Date: 30/09". I'm going to assume this is 30th September 2009?

I'm also not sure if I fall under the PAYE scheme. I'm the owner and the only director of the company and would be paying myself a minimum wage. Does it only apply to companies that have employees?

Kind Regards,
