Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss

[FaustoS]

I have a Company incorporated October 2021 and started Trading in May 2022.
I have received a reminder to file Accounts by 26th July.
The info I got from Gov website is that I can submit Micro entitties Accounts which entails only a Balance Sheet to Companies House and also that I can submit both Accounts and Corporate Tax Return electronically using CATO service.

My questions are:
Does Quickfile allow to submit the Accounts and C. Tax Return in the same way as per the VAT reports?
How do I prepare the account myself?
Is the submission of the Balance Sheet Report print out enough as Accounts?
Is the submission of the Profit and Loss Report printout enough as a Corporate Tax Return?

And finally how do I solve this:
When I download both the Balance and Profit and Loss reports in Excel there is are minus figures as per the main page on Quickfile, respectively (Balance sheet “Total Capital and Reserves” -£5224.10) and (Profit and Loss “Profit before Tax” -£5205.78). Note that both figures are different of £18.32.
When I print both Balance and Profit and Loss reports in PDF all the minus signs disappear and the figures become positive thus giving a Profit.
How is this possible?

Please help.
Thank you.

Hi, you can’t submit statutory accounts using QuickFile, and it is not enough just to use the Quickfile reports to submit to Companies House, there are specific format you need to use and disclosures that are required by Company Law. I suggest you look for an accountant who can do this for you.
You will also need to submit a Corporation Tax return to HMRC which requires adjustments to the profits (or loss) of the company, as certain items are treated differently for accounting and tax purposes.
