─── SPECIALIST MICRO-ENTITY ACCOUNTANTS IN LONDON

First Year Accounts for Limited Company in Aberdare, Prepared and Filed With Professional Support

If you have recently incorporated a company in Aberdare, its first set of statutory accounts will need to be prepared and, where required, delivered to Companies House. Micro Entity Accounts helps directors through that process — reviewing the accounting records you hold, preparing the balance sheet and, where applicable, the profit and loss account, and supporting you with the filing itself. We also make the boundaries clear: your Companies House accounts filing is separate from any HMRC requirement, such as a Corporation Tax Return or CT600, and separate again from your confirmation statement. That way you know which obligations apply to your company, what information is needed, and how the first accounting period is generally worked out.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with Accotx on a HMRC reclaim and overall, they did ultimately deliver on their promise, which I appreciate. The process did take longer than any of us expected, partly due to external delays with the tax authorities, and partly because there were some hiccups in communication and follow-up. However, despite those challenges, they stayed professional and stuck to the original agreed terms. If you’re considering using them, be prepared to stay in regular contact to keep things moving along. They are absolutely capable, have the expertise and willing to work with you, and overall  improving their services over time. I would certainly return for any future needs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Imran to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable accountant. He helped me sort out a very complicated backlog of accounts and prepared my overdue tax returns with professionalism and attention to detail.

Throughout the process, he was incredibly patient, took the time to answer all of my questions, and explained everything clearly. He guided me through each step and helped rectify issues that had built up over time, making what felt like an overwhelming situation much more manageable.

I'm very pleased with the service I've received and truly appreciate his support. If you need help with your accounts or taxes, I would highly recommend Imran.

Your first filing timeline

Incorporation

Your first filing timeline depends on your company's incorporation date and accounting reference date.

Accounting reference date

Set by default to the last day of the month of incorporation, one year on.

First accounts due

Normally 21 months after incorporation at Companies House.

First CT600 due

12 months after the end of the accounting period, with tax due earlier.

What Are First Year Accounts for a Limited Company — and Where Do Micro-Entity Rules Fit?

First year accounts are the first set of annual statutory accounts a limited company prepares for its initial accounting period. They are not optional simply because the company is new. Once a company is incorporated it has reporting responsibilities, and those responsibilities can apply even where activity has been limited. When a company is formed, Companies House sets an accounting reference date, which generally falls at the end of the month in which the company was incorporated, twelve months on. The first accounting period usually runs from the incorporation date to that first accounting reference date, which is why a first set of accounts can cover a longer or shorter period than the twelve months directors tend to expect in later years. The filing deadline for those accounts depends on whether it is the company’s first set, along with the applicable Companies House rules, so it is worth checking your own company’s dates rather than assuming they match anyone else’s. Preparing the accounts means taking the information in your accounting records and turning it into statutory accounts — typically a balance sheet and, where applicable, a profit and loss account. Some companies meet the eligibility conditions for the micro-entity framework and prepare accounts under FRS 105, the financial reporting standard that applies to qualifying micro-entities. This is not automatic for a new company: eligibility depends on the company’s circumstances and must be assessed for the relevant accounting period. A company that does not qualify may instead report under the small company regime or under full accounting standards. It is just as important to be clear about what first-year accounts are not. They are separate from a Corporation Tax Return such as a CT600, which is submitted to HMRC rather than Companies House, and separate again from a confirmation statement, which confirms the company’s registered details rather than reporting its financial position. Filing one does not automatically complete the others, and the company’s first Corporation Tax accounting period may not necessarily be identical to the period covered by the statutory accounts.

Does Your New Company Qualify as a Micro Entity?

Even in your first period, your company must meet the Companies House size criteria to file micro-entity accounts. A company generally needs to meet at least two of these three conditions.

Business Turnover

Annual Turnover of £1 Million or less. (£632,000 previously)

Balance Sheet

Balance sheet total of £500,000 or less.(£316,000 previously)

Company Size

On an average 10 or less employees (10 or less previously)

If any of that feels uncertain, Micro Entity Accounts can prepare and review your first-year accounts, work from the records you already hold, and support you through filing where it is required.

─── FAQs

First Year Accounts FAQs

Still unsure where you stand? Reach out to our UK team at info@microentityaccounts.co.uk and we will review your filing history with you.

What are First Year Accounts for Limited Company?

They are the first set of statutory accounts a limited company prepares for its initial accounting period — the period that normally begins on the date of incorporation and ends on the company's first accounting reference date. They usually include a balance sheet and, where applicable, a profit and loss account, and they are generally delivered to Companies House where required. This is a reporting obligation that comes with being an incorporated company, not something that only begins once trading is well established.

When do a limited company's first accounts need to be filed?

It depends on the company's own dates. Companies House sets an accounting reference date when a company is incorporated, and the deadline for a first set of accounts is calculated from that date, which is not necessarily the same as the deadline that applies in later years. Rather than comparing your company with another, check the dates recorded against your own company, and take advice if you are unsure which period your first accounts should cover or when they are due.

What information do you need from us to prepare first-year accounts?

In broad terms, we need the detail behind your accounting records: bank transactions for the period, any sales or other income, business expenses and purchase invoices, asset purchases, director transactions or loans, share capital information, and payroll, VAT or other records where those apply. A company with very little activity may need to provide far less than one that has been trading. Where records are incomplete, we will explain what is missing and how to fill the gaps.

Does a new limited company in Aberdare have to file accounts with Companies House if it has not traded?

Where a company is incorporated, statutory filing obligations generally apply, and accounts are usually delivered to Companies House where required — even if activity has been minimal or trading has not yet started. That does not automatically mean the company is dormant; whether it can be treated as dormant depends on its circumstances and the applicable rules. If you are unsure how your company's position should be reported, it is worth taking advice before deciding not to file.

Are first-year accounts the same as a CT600?

No. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while a Corporation Tax Return such as a CT600 is submitted to HMRC where the company has Corporation Tax obligations. Figures from the accounts often inform the tax position, but the two filings have different purposes, different destinations and separate deadlines. Completing one does not complete the other, and a company's first Corporation Tax accounting period may not necessarily match the period covered by its statutory accounts.

Can a newly incorporated company qualify for micro-entity accounts?

Some newly incorporated companies do meet the eligibility conditions for the micro-entity framework and prepare accounts under FRS 105, the standard applicable to qualifying micro-entities. It is not automatic — eligibility is assessed against the applicable requirements and the company's circumstances for the relevant accounting period. A company that does not qualify may report under the small company regime or full accounting standards instead. We can check which framework is appropriate for your Aberdare company before the accounts are prepared.

Does filing first-year accounts replace the confirmation statement?

No. A confirmation statement is a separate filing that confirms the company's registered information — such as directors, shareholders and registered office — remains up to date. It is not a substitute for statutory accounts, and filing accounts does not remove the need to keep the confirmation statement and other Companies House details current. Many companies have both obligations running alongside each other, so it is worth keeping track of each one.

What happens if first-year accounts are filed late?

Failing to deliver accounts by the applicable deadline can lead to Companies House consequences, and those consequences may escalate the longer the accounts remain outstanding. Paying any penalty does not remove the requirement to file the accounts themselves. If accounts are already overdue, the usual priority is to prepare and submit them as soon as possible; whether an appeal against a penalty is possible depends on the circumstances and the applicable rules.
