Year End Accounts: Don't get caught out by the deadlines!
Every year all Limited Companies, even dormant ones, are required to submit Annual Accounts.
Late submission of these Accounts will result in an automatic fine, and a substantial one too! So when do you need to file your Accounts?
The main company deadlines are as follows:
Company Accounts: To be filed 9 months following the Company's Year End date to Companies House.
Corporation Tax: Payable 9 months and 1 day following the Company's Year End to HMRC. Note in this is your first Year End you may have two amounts payable with different due dates.
Corporation Tax Return: To be filed 12 months following the Company's Year End.
If you fail to meet your Accounts deadline with Companies House, the fines are as follows:
| Time after the deadline | Penalty (for private limited companies) |
|---|---|
| Up to 1 month | £150 |
| 1 to 3 months | £375 |
| 3 to 6 months | £750 |
| More than 6 months | £1,500 |
There are then separate deadlines for your Corporation Tax Return:New Paragraph
| 1 day | £100 |
|---|---|
| 3 months | Another £100 |
| 6 months | HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) will estimate your Corporation Tax bill and add a penalty of 10% the unpaid tax |
| 12 months | Another 10% of any unpaid tax |
It’s not all bad though folks – if you’re able to submit your return and payment early, HMRC should pay you a little bit of interest so it’s definitely worth getting ahead of your deadlines.
