How long to keep records. You must normally keep records for at least 6 years from the end of the last company financial year they relate to. You may need to keep records longer if: 1  they show a transaction that covers more than one of the companyâs accounting periods.ou must also keep any other financial records, information and calculations you need to complete your Company Tax Return. This includes records of all money: 1  spent by the company, eg receipts, petty cash books, orders and delivery notes.
I would advise you to keep records and tax returns for the years that include out-of-the-ordinary transactions (sales or donations of property), and income from activities such as stock option exercises, trust income, etc., for six years after the filing date of the return. find that in the case of tax returns, many people are afraid to discard them or confused as to how long they should keep them. The result is that they keep them all. One client told me he kept every tax return he filed going back over 30 years! Keeping all of your financial papers that long is not a good strategy.
