UK Company Annual Report Filling

UK Company Annual Report Filling

In the UK, the companies are required to file their annual accounts with Companies House. These annual accounts typically include a balance sheet, profit and loss statement, and a director’s report, and they must be filed within nine months of the company’s accounting period-end. Failure to file the accounts on time can result in fines and penalties.

Almost all registered companies in the UK are required to prepare annual accounts for Companies House and HMRC every year. The purpose of these accounts is to report the financial activity of the company and, subsequently, work out how much Corporation Tax it has to pay to HMRC.

Directors are legally responsible for making sure annual accounts are completed accurately and submitted by the statutory filing deadline.

Additionally, if the company's turnover exceeds a certain threshold, they must also file an audit report prepared by an independent auditor. This report provides an independent assessment of the accuracy and completeness of the company's financial statements.

It is important for companies to ensure that their annual accounts are filed accurately and on time, as they may impact the company's creditworthiness and reputation.

About Late Filing Penalties

Late filing penalties were introduced in 1992 to encourage directors to file their accounts and reports on time, because this information is required for the public record.

All companies must send their accounts and reports to Companies House every year, whether:

Private or Public

  • Large or small
  • Trading or non-trading

If you submit accounts late, the law imposes an automatic penalty. The period allowed to file your accounts depends on whether these are your first accounts since incorporation or subsequent accounts.

Late Filing Penalty Fees

The penalty only applies to accounts. The level of the penalty depends on how late the accounts reach Companies House.

Length of period (Measured From The Date The Accounts Are Due)
