Annual Account Late Filing Penalties
On Wednesday we explained that whilst there’s no penalty for late filing of the annual return, there is a penalty for late filing of annual accounts. If you do file accounts late here’s what Companies House will charge (the following is in regards to a private company limited by shares):
Less than one month late: £150
Between one and three months late: £375
Between three and six months late: £750
More than six months late: £1500
If you would rather close the company than pay the penalty do not file accounts and dissolve the company instead. Companies House will not pursue the penalty payment.
