I have a bit of a strange question as i have been getting different opinions from different people at HMRC.
This is my situation: I did have a limited company from 2010-2014. I was the only Director and I was getting dividends. My accountant filed returns for all the periods except 2012-2013 (he closed down the business and left the country) during which I had received about £40k as dividends. In 2014 I closed down my company as my current work wouldn't allow me to have a registered company in my name. It's only the other day when I was going to apply for my visa I realised that my accountant didn't file the accounts as I couldn't find a CT600 for that period.
Is there anyway I can pay tax on the dividends I claimed during the 2013-2014 period via Self Assessment as my company didn't submit returns? (Someone from HMRC suggested I can and someone else said I can't). Or do I have to reinstate the company, file returns and then do a SA? Basically I want to pay tax to HMRC for the dividends I got from my Limited Company.
Time is of absolute essence here so I would be looking for the fastest route. I do not want to evade any tax and yes I should have checked to make sure my accountant had filed the paperwork on time. But no use with hindsight, I would like some way to resolve this BIG problem.
Many thanks,
Harry
