When must a limited company file its accounts?
A private limited company must send its annual accounts to Companies House 9 months after its financial year ends. The Company Tax Return is due 12 months after the accounting period for Corporation Tax ends. Source: https://www.gov.uk/prepare-file-annual-accounts-for-limited-company
When do I pay corporation tax?
Corporation Tax is usually due 9 months and 1 day after the end of the accounting period. That is earlier than the deadline to file the Company Tax Return, so we plan for both dates. Source: https://www.gov.uk/company-tax-returns/deadlines
What is the corporation tax rate?
The main rate is 25%, which applies if your company made more than £250,000 profit. The small profits rate is 19%, which applies if profit is £50,000 or less. Between those figures you may be entitled to Marginal Relief. Source: https://www.gov.uk/corporation-tax-rates
What happens if my accounts are filed late?
For a private limited company, Companies House charges £150 if the accounts are up to 1 month late, rising to £1,500 if they are more than 6 months late. The penalty is doubled if your accounts are late 2 years in a row. We keep track of the deadline for you. Source: https://www.gov.uk/annual-accounts/penalties-for-late-filing
What happens if my Company Tax Return is filed late?
HMRC charges £200 if the return is 1 day late, and another £200 if it is 3 months late. At 6 months HMRC estimates your Corporation Tax bill and adds a penalty of 10% of the unpaid tax, with another 10% at 12 months. The £200 penalties rise to £1,000 each if the return is late 3 times in a row. Source: https://www.gov.uk/company-tax-returns/penalties-for-late-filing
When is my self assessment deadline?
For the 2025 to 2026 tax year, an online return and the tax bill are both due by 31 January 2027. Filing late brings an immediate £100 penalty, and further charges build up the longer the return is outstanding.
