How long do I need to keep company records for?

You must keep records for six years from the end of the last company financial year they relate to, or longer if:

• they show a transaction that covers more than one of the company’s accounting periods
• the company has bought something that it expects to last more than 6 years, like equipment or machinery
• you sent your Company Tax Return late.
