The Big Picture

Here, we summarize the various files you will need to keep, and returns you will need to submit, to the various parties involved in this process. Some will be internal records that you yourself will need to keep (not least, in case, one day, the UK Tax Authorities, asks to see them!); others will need to be submitted to other bodies, such as HMRC or Companies House.

Parties involved, and records needed

Most records will need to be submitted to one of two main external authorities, but some, such as your Management Accounts, Minutes of Meetings, and Dividend Vouchers, will need to be kept safely by YOU for your own records.
