What are the filing deadlines when filing accounts at Companies House?

Unless you are filing your company’s first accounts, the time normally allowed for delivering accounts to Companies House is 9 months from the accounting reference date.


If you are filing your company’s first accounts and those accounts cover a period of more than 12 months, you must deliver them to Companies House:

  • Within 21 months of the date of incorporation for private companies.
  • If the first accounts cover a period of 12 months or less, the normal times allowed for delivering accounts apply.
