I don't quite follow. Is this income from self employment, or income from the limited company?

If you have paid income for work performed through the limited company into a personal account rather than the company's own account, then this constitutes a director's loan from the company to you.

If this income is nothing to do with the limited company, and is paid to you personally for work you have performed as either a sole trader or an employee, then you would need to register as a sole trader with HMRC (and the relevant NI contributions would then be due) or otherwise if you are an employee, then the relevant tax or NI would have been deducted at source by the employer.

You will need to give some very clear information as to how the income has arisen for anyone to be able to help you. I feel that you would benefit from seeking professional advice - if not from your current accountant then you should appoint a new accountant.

That was my main interrogation.

What would be the case if I have been employed abroad ? Do I have to pay in both the oversea country and UK? I had a litigation with a client who wrongly make me signed two contracts : a contractor one (in name of my company) and few months later an employee one (but I am even not sure that the term of this contract was legal (the contract end if their own client (for who i was providing my services) contract end))(misleading by claiming that was just an update of the job description of the first contract). During three months, they were paying as my employer instead of a clients but refused to pay for the second contract (at the end I have cancelled the contract by just resigning).

What should I do regarding the HMRC? How many expenses can I take off from this income?

In all cases, it sounds like I will have further money to pay.

Definitively, I will need to change my accountant (we have already cancelled our contract).

The company account has been amended already for 2011 - 2012, can I make a second amendment?
