Will I get a fine if I file my Accounts late?

If a company files accounts after the due date, Companies House will impose a penalty fine:

Lateness:

• Less than one month - £150
• More than one month but not more than three months - £375
• >More than three months but not more than six months - £750
• >More than six months - £1500

If company accounts are overdue the only ways to avoid the penalty are:

• Dissolve the company instead of filing accounts
• File the accounts and then appeal against the penalty (appeals may not be successful)
