3. What period must the UK Company Accounts cover?
A company's first UK Company Accounts cover the period starting on the date of incorporation, not the first day of trading. They end on the accounting reference date (ARD) or up to 7 days either side of that date. Subsequent UK Company Accounts start on the day after the previous UK Company Accounts ended. They finish date for the UK Company Accounts on the accounting reference date or up to 7 days either side of it.

If you are filing your company's first UK Company Accounts and they cover a period of more than 12 months, your UK Company Accounts must be delivered to the Registrar within 22 months of the date of incorporation for private companies and 19 months for public companies or 3 months from the accounting reference date, whichever is longer.

Unless you are filing you company's first UK Company Accounts the time normally allowed for delivering UK Company Accounts to Companies House is:
(a) for a private company, 10 months from the accounting reference date;
(b) for a public company, 7 months from the accounting reference date.

6. What if the UK Company Accounts are delivered late?
There is an automatic civil penalty for late filing of UK Company Accounts. The amount is dependant on how late the UK Company Accounts arrive and whether the company is private or public.
