The time limits for delivering limited company accounts to Companies House has been reduced by one month at the same time penalties for late delivery have been increased.
For private Limited Companies and Limited Liability Companies (LLPs) with accounting periods that begin on or after 6 April 2008 will have to file accounts with Companies House within 9 months, instead of the prior 10-months. For public companies with the same accounting period start date the filing deadline has been reduced to 6 months instead of the previous 7.
Late filing penalties from 1 February 2009 have been changed to:
How late are the accounts delivered No more that one month More than one month but not more than 3 months More than 3 months but not more than 6 months More than 6 months
Double penalties
Where companies with an account period that began after 6 April 2008 or LLPs after 1 October 2008 failed to comply with the filing requirements in the previous financial year the above penalties will be double that shown in the table.
