What is a micro-entity company?
A micro-entity is a UK company that meets at least two of three limits: turnover of £1 million or less, a balance sheet total of £500,000 or less, and 10 or fewer employees. It can file simpler accounts under FRS 105.
Most one-person companies, contractors, landlords and online sellers qualify. A few company types are excluded, so we confirm eligibility before we prepare anything.
| Test | Micro-entity limit |
|---|---|
| Turnover | £1 million or less |
| Balance sheet total | £500,000 or less |
| Average employees | 10 or fewer |

Micro-entity accounts FAQs
Straight answers to the questions directors ask most.
What is a micro-entity company?
A micro-entity is a UK company that meets at least two of three limits: turnover of £1 million or less, a balance sheet total of £500,000 or less, and 10 or fewer employees. It can prepare simpler accounts under FRS 105.
When are micro-entity accounts due?
Your first accounts are due 21 months after the company was registered. Later accounts are due 9 months after the financial year end. Late filing triggers automatic Companies House penalties.
When is the Corporation Tax return due?
The Company Tax Return (CT600) is due 12 months after the end of the Corporation Tax accounting period. The tax itself is normally due 9 months and 1 day after the period ends.
What is the penalty for filing accounts late?
For a private company the penalty is £150 up to 1 month late, £375 from 1 to 3 months, £750 from 3 to 6 months and £1,500 beyond 6 months. The amounts double if you are late two years in a row.
Do micro-entities still need to file a Corporation Tax return?
Yes. Micro-entity accounts go to Companies House, and the Company Tax Return goes to HMRC. They are two separate filings with different deadlines.
Can you file accounts that are already late?
Yes. We can prepare and file overdue accounts and tax returns. Penalties already issued by Companies House still apply, but filing promptly stops them growing.
Are the rules for filing accounts changing?
Companies House has announced that from April 2028 accounts must be filed using software. The earlier plan to require small and micro-entities to file profit and loss accounts is currently paused. We update this page as dates are confirmed.
How much does it cost?
Accounts and a Corporation Tax return are £499 + VAT, or £399 + VAT where turnover is up to £100,000. Bookkeeping starts from £15, payroll from £5 and confirmation statements are £100 (all + VAT).
What do I need to send you?
Bank statements, sales and purchase invoices, payroll details if you have staff, and last year accounts if the company has filed before.
