Companies House - Ltd Deadline

Companies House

Ltd Filing Dates 📔

First Year

The Abridged or Full Accounts depending on the size of the Business are due within 21 months of the date of incorporation

For example

Incorporated 30/9/24 (Due 30/6/25) 🗓️

By default the company Year End is always the last day of the same month in the following year eg.

Incorporating 30 September 2024 (Year End 30 September 2025)

First Year but Shortening the year end

If incorporate a company today 30 September 2024 but plan to have the Year End as 31 March 2025 rather than 30 September 2025 then the deadline is 9 months after the year end, which in this case would be due 31 December 2025

Year end 31 March 2025 (Due 31 December 2025)

First Year but extending the Year End

Please note the extending of the Year End can only occur once every 5 years

The maximum period of any Ltd Co Accounts is only 18 months

If Incorporate 30 September 2024 but extend the default Year End From 30 September 2025 to 31 December 2025 then please note the original due date of 30 June 2026 is still applicable (Due within 21 months of the original Incorporation Date)

Trading Company (Not first Year)

The Company Year End is 31 January 2024 (Due Date 31 October 2024)

However, the company for whatever reason has planned to change the Year End and Extend to 31 July 2024 (Maximum period of Extension allowed) then Companies House give 9 months after the New Year End eg.

31 July 2024 (Due Date 30 April 2025)
