All companies must file annual accounts with Companies House – even if they are dormant or not trading.
A Companies House password and authentication code are required to file accounts online. This is a far quicker solution, especially if close to filing deadlines because it takes far longer to process paper documents sent by post.
Private companies and LLPs must file their first accounts within 21 months of the incorporation date, or three months from the accounting reference date, whichever is the longer period.
After this, companies and LLPs must file nine months before the end of the accounting reference period, while publicly listed companies have six months to submit their accounts.
So 30 September is a very busy time as a significant number of companies have 31 December year ends.
