I'm embarrassed to ask this, since I have a feeling the answer is obvious - blame the heat for clouding my brain. I'm doing the abbreviated company accounts for our very small limited company. As I have lamented elsewhere on the forum, this year the profits were low and after the company has paid the har...

Surely all he would need is a yearly p&l with an asset listing to use for tax stuff, is there really a need for much more detail for tax purposes. Obviously a record of mileage an...
