A limited company director has certain obligations to fulfil, and it’s important to be aware of these when running your company.

A director of a limited company must:

  • Follow the company’s rules shown in its articles of association

  • Keep company records and report changes

  • File their accounts and their Company Tax Returns.

  • Inform shareholders if they may benefit from a transaction the company makes

  • Pay Corporation Tax

There are professionals a limited company director can hire to manage these things day-to-day (such as accountants). However, they’re still legally responsible for their company’s records, accounts and performance.

Failing to meet these responsibilities will result in a limited company director being fined, prosecuted, or even disqualified from being a company director.
