Annual Return Filed Late
Companies House will send Annual Return reminders near to the statutory filing date. The reminders are normally delivered to your company's registered office address and copies will also be sent to the company directors.
Your company will automatically be placed on proposal to be struck off first then be official removed from Companies House register if there is no response from your company.
The directors also commit a criminal offence under the company law for failing to file Annual Return to Companies House.
If your company is dormant or it has not been traded for at least three months you can apply for your company to be removed from Companies House legally. The benefits of dissolving your company voluntarily are that you are not required to file accounts or annual return after your company is closed down.
There is also late filing penalty for submitting accounts late to Companies House. The penalty start from £150 to £1500 dependent how many months late. |
