Common questions
General guidance only. We’ll confirm what applies once we understand your circumstances.
When are company accounts due?
For most private limited companies, accounts must reach Companies House within nine months of the financial year end. Corporation tax is usually payable nine months and one day after the year end, and the CT600 is due within twelve months.
Do dormant companies still need to file?
Yes. A dormant company still files annual accounts and a confirmation statement with Companies House, although the accounts are much simpler.
Can you take over part way through the year?
Yes. We contact your previous accountant for the information we need and carry on from there.
