How it works

- 03You sign it and provide any ID needed (if you have not already provided it for incorporation).
- 04The service starts. We request any further information needed for the service you chose.
Can I use your accountancy service if I did not form my company with you?
Yes. We need your company name, web authentication code, and the names of the director and shareholders.
When are company accounts filed, and how often?
Accounts must be filed every financial year. For a new company, they are due within 21 months of incorporation or 9 months of your accounting reference date (ARD).
I only traded briefly. Can I file dormant accounts?
No. If a company has traded at all during its financial year, it cannot file dormant accounts and must file a company tax return. If there has been very little trading, we can discuss a sensible solution with you.
What is the penalty for filing accounts late at Companies House?
The penalty depends on how late the accounts are. For private limited companies the penalties are £150 / £375 / £750 / £1,500 (up to one month / one to three months / three to six months / more than six months late). The penalty doubles if your accounts are late two years in a row.
Do directors and shareholders also file a tax return?
Yes. HMRC requires limited company directors to register for self assessment and file personal tax returns. Taxable income, such as dividends you receive as a shareholder, must be reported to HMRC, and there are penalties and interest for late filing and late payment of personal tax.
