How painting and decorating companies file

Decorating companies are usually labour-based micro-entities working for homeowners and contractors, some of it under CIS.

Every company on these pages is an active private limited company that files small or micro-entity accounts. Each one has to deliver accounts to Companies House within 9 months of its year end, pay corporation tax 9 months and 1 day after it, and file a CT600 with HMRC within 12 months.
