Profit + Tax of a UK Ltd on public records?

[Nanoo]

Will the Profit + Tax return of a UK LTD company be available on public records (company house)?
If yes, can we hide it by contacting company house?

 

[Martin Everson]

All your accounts you file will be on public record at companies house. You cannot‌ hide it 🙁.

The name, the director address, birthdate, nationality, the accounts in public records, whats next? my‌ number phone and a selfie id on public records?
smh it's so dumb..

If you are looking for privacy consider forming a offshore company

Only the balance sheet is availble on companies House website, not profit and loss statement.‌ You can check it yourself on
Companies House service

As a uk resident it's kinda complicated nowadays, corporate tax in uk are very‍ fair tho.

Your wrong what are you talking about...lol 😱. You see everything including comprehensive statement of profit‍ and loss.

For example for Transferwise Ltd and see page 15 of Group Company accounts⁠ filed 20 Oct 2018 (Filter by selecting "Accounts").

TRANSFERWISE LTD - Filing history (free information⁤ from Companies House)

There are different accounting standards⁠ for micro, smalls and big companies. Transferwise is obviously not a micro or small company,⁤ that op and readers on this forums will likely be. Look up any small company.⁣

 

[Martin Everson]

Perhaps show me an example⁠ of an active (not dormant) small company with no profit and loss statement. Think logically,⁤ how will HMRC know if an active company should pay tax or not without a⁣ profit and loss statement being present?

Here's a random example:
500 DEGREES HERNE HILL LTD - Filing history (free⁠ information from Companies House)
HMRC will of course still have p&l statement, they don't use⁤ companies house website to calculate taxes 😉

 

[Martin Everson]

Sorry you were 100% right thu&¤#. I was talking nonsense after reading full rules. It is totally optional for small companies⁠ whether they want to file P&L report or not.

Company accounts guidance

"Small companies do⁤ not have to deliver a copy of the directors’ report or the profit and loss⁣ account to Companies House.
