Comments
-
For 2013, in which of the following fields I have to put the -£9400 (amount of the Profit and Loss Account from 2012 knowing £6000 was paid as dividend) ?
Turnover
Administrative expenses
Operating profit/(loss)
Profit/(loss) on ordinary activities before taxation
Tax on profit/(loss) on ordinary activities
Profit/(loss) for the financial year
Fixed assets
Tangible assets
Current assets
Stocks
Debtors
Cash at bank and in hand
Creditors: amounts falling due within one year
Net current assets/(liabilities)
Net assets/(liabilities)
Capital and reserves
Called up share capital
Profit and loss account
Shareholders' funds
As others have said, how can you have a dividend, i.e. a distribution of profits, when you have no profits to distribute? :huh:
Professional advice you cannot afford not to have.0 -
Anyway, back to the original question you pose in the thread title:
Yes you can certainly file the Annual Return yourself. Do it online, and it will only cost £13 ... all pretty simple. Chances are it's just confirming what is already there.
If you had a full understanding of your figures (which you don't appear to actually have) then yes you can also file your annual accounts yourself.
Dormant accounts are very easy to do online (but I don't think that applies here as you have made a loss of over £9k allegedly)
But simple accounts can also be done online, and files with HMRC at the same time if you want. Or you can use software that files it in iXBRL format.
But in your situation I would urge you to get an accountant to sort it out & file it for you.0
