I've actually got a question that I really don't know the answer to largely because I'm only allowed to go up to trial balance (grrr).
When I sign my companies accounts at year end I have to sign three sets of summary financial statements and three sets of full accounts (Plus the corporation tax return).
I get to keep one of each and one goes to companies house (I assume a full set).
The question is, who gets the other full set and two summary sets?
Can't believe that I don't know the answer to this and it's one of those where it seems such a simple thing that I'm too embarrassed to ask my accountant.
I'll think up a proper question for later.
cheers in advance,
Shaun.

It was the HMRC one that I was missing as just assumed they got sent an electronic copy.
All makes sense now. So they get a full copy with the CT600... Which of course they should also now get electronically.
Maybe it's all going to be different when I sign this years accounts!
Cheers Again,
Shaun.

Yes thats right Shaun, HMRC will receive a full set of accounts, CT600 and a copy of the CT computation...the electronic copies look a bit different and obviously if they go in theer is no need for a further paper copy.
There is no need to lodge a signed copy of the accounts with HM R&C, potentially your accountant keeps 2 copys (as we do) one for perm file and a spare for copying to banks etc etc.
I have a quiz question for today if anyone want to try. Forgive me if this is very easy but i'll give it a shot.
Q: when is VAT attributed and paid over on Bank interest received (in the UK and under current legislation)?

I assume that it would be where interest is earned on the VAT held ready to be paid over at the end of the quarter? But I always took that as just good earnings management and I've certainly never paid any interest on it.
Or, what about the interest earned on VAT paid late?
I can see a google search coming on here!

OK I think it is for businesses on the flat rate scheme as hmrc consider interest as part of turnover....had to research this so it had better be correct!
I had absolutely no idea, I'm just about to set uop a couple of flat rate schemes too so useful info...not that there will be much interest earned at the moment!
Thats right Bill, they were just calling him 'Goodluck Jonathan' on the news...hope he has better luck than the president who hasn't been seen for some months...KLagos not top of my list for holiday destinations!
