Company tax filing deadlines

What is the Deadline for Filing Annual Accounts?

Filing company accounts to Companies House is determined by the date of business registration. All the new businesses must file their first accounts within 21 months after company registration or 3 months from the accounting reference date - whichever is longer. The deadline for company accounts filing for existing businesses is 9 months after the company's financial year ends.
