Companies House Late Filing Penalties

[Eric Mc]

For all you chaps and chapesses who operate your own limited companies, you should be aware that, from 1 February 2009, accounts submitted late to Companies House will be fined at substantially higher levels than at present.

Private Company Penalties for accounts filed:

Not more than one month late - £ 150
More than one month but not more than three months late - £375
More than three months but not more than six months late - £750
More than six months late - £1500

Thanks Eric, have sent this to my accountants *eloi*te, who have managed to be late every year for last 4 years, incl this year, why you ask, because me not a mega corp. Heard only this weekend that london partners pocketed (each) £840k for 2007!

Time for a change perhaps?

I was e-mailed this morning about these changes by one of my accounting software suppliers which was very good of them.

Already notified, another group look after some other interests and they now will takeover. Good to know about the higher penalties though, thanks again R

Theyu are a bit of a hike, aren't hey?

And they climb higher, faster too.

Having said that, the old penalties remained unchanged for 16 years so their ability to hurt had obviously diminished.

Increasingly desperate I'd say.

I'm surprised they stayed at the original levels for so long.
