Annual Accounts

File Annual Accounts (UK LTD)

Every UK limited company must file annual accounts with Companies House and a Corporation Tax return (CT600) with HMRC. We prepare micro-entity, small or dormant company accounts in the correct iXBRL format and file both submissions on time to avoid the automatic £150–£1,500 penalties.

Deadline: 9 months after year-end (Companies House); 12 months for CT600 (HMRC).

Form CS01

File Confirmation Statement (CS01)

Your annual confirmation statement (formerly the Annual Return) confirms your company's officers, shareholders, PSCs, SIC codes and share capital are up to date. Failure to file is a criminal offence and can lead to your company being struck off — we handle it end-to-end.

  • Review of all statutory records
  • Update SIC codes & share capital

  • Electronic filing at Companies House
  • Annual reminders included

  • Paper Form AD01 preparation
  • Print, sign & tracked postage

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you file directly with Companies House and HMRC?

Yes. We are set up as filing agents and submit every document electronically wherever possible, or by tracked post where a paper form is required. You receive the filing receipt as soon as it's accepted.

What happens if I miss a Companies House deadline?

Late filing penalties start at £150 and rise to £1,500 for accounts filed more than 6 months late. Missing a confirmation statement can lead to your company being struck off the register. We send 60/30/7-day reminders to keep you clear.

Can non-residents use these services?

Absolutely. Most of our clients are non-UK residents. We handle everything remotely — you sign digitally where allowed, and we handle the postal side where a wet signature is required.

Do the prices include Companies House fees?

Where a Companies House fee applies (e.g. £10 for NM01, £34 for CS01), it is listed separately in the price panel. There are no hidden charges.

How do I get started?

Message us on WhatsApp with your company number and the filing you need. We'll confirm the fee, request the minimum information and file within 24 hours in most cases.
