Short term verses long term liabilities

Posted by Artan Trota 2 Feb 2026 at 18:24
Creditors: amounts falling due within one year - (this is the only option available, however as a property company I only have long term Director's loan, mortgage and (what I think could be a long term liability (not sure about these), stamp duty/legal fee/mortgage fee?)
Your guide does mention Creditors (after 1 year): Bank loans, Director's loans, mortgages
Are you missing a box at least for long term creditors (after 1 year). I am not comfortable just entering the long term DL and mortgage under Creditors (within a year).

The "Creditors: amounts falling due after more than one year" field is there - you may need to scroll down a little on the balance sheet section. It sits below the "Creditors: amounts falling due within one year" row.

If you click on the input box you'll see a tooltip confirming what goes there: "Bank loans, director's loans, mortgages - debts that don't need paying within 12 months".

I've also replied to your email with answers to your other questions about capitalising stamp duty and legal fees.
