Late filing statistics from Companies House.

With latest figures published by Companies House showing an increase of 2% in accounts being filed late for 2018 (as compared with 2017), we thought it was worth reminding you of the fines that companies could face:

Accounts delivered late Penalty: Private company/LLP Penalty: PLC
< 1 month £150 £750
> 1 – 3 months £375 £1,500
> 3 – 6 months £750 £3,000
> 6 months £1500 £7,500

According to Companies House, 223,640 companies (4,202,044 total on register) were late to file their accounts, with the worst areas being London, Birmingham and Manchester.
