First Year Accounts for Limited Company in Broxburn With Professional Preparation Support

If you have recently incorporated a company, the first set of statutory accounts can raise practical questions about accounting records, the first accounting period and what must be filed with Companies House. Micro Entity Accounts can help directors and newly incorporated companies in Broxburn prepare First Year Accounts for Limited Company, review the underlying records and support the Companies House filing where required. We also help clarify how statutory accounts differ from a Corporation Tax Return such as a CT600, which is a separate HMRC requirement, and from a confirmation statement, so you understand which obligations apply to your company.

 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with a few different accountants before finally settling with Accotax, and we’re really glad we did. Their team is great. Abdul is responsive and easy to reach whenever I have a question, which makes a big difference. They take the time to understand how our business works and what our needs are. They are very knowledgeable, and when they don’t have the answer straight away, they take the time to look into it and get back to us quickly. Anum, who looks after our account on a day-to-day basis, including reconciling invoices and preparing the annual accounts, is amazing. She is professional, efficient, and follows the processes we have put in place together. She's also very quickin getting back to us whenever needed. We’re very happy to work with her and hope to continue doing so for as long as possible. Overall, Accotax has made our accounting experience much smoother and easier. We see them as a long-term partner as our business continues to grow. I would 100% recommend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have really impressed to date with all dealings with Accotax highly enough. From day one, they've made what can often be a complicated and stressful part of running a business feel straightforward and hassle-free. A special mention has to go to Anum, who has been friendly, incredibly responsive, and genuinely cares about providing the best possible service. No question is ever too much trouble, and she consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything is dealt with efficiently. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for an accountant they can genuinely trust.

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 Micro Company and How Do They Apply to Broxburn Limited Companies?

First Year Accounts for Limited Company are the first set of annual statutory accounts prepared for a company’s initial accounting period. They normally include a balance sheet and, where applicable, a profit and loss account, together with any notes and directors responsibilities required under the applicable reporting framework. The purpose is to report the company’s financial position and performance for that first period, even if activity has been limited. A limited company has statutory filing obligations once incorporated, and these can apply even if it has not yet started trading or has had limited transactions; whether it can be treated as dormant depends on the specific circumstances and applicable rules. For many newly incorporated companies, the first statutory accounting period begins on incorporation and runs to the first accounting reference date, but the exact period depends on the company’s incorporation date, its accounting reference date and the applicable Companies House requirements. First-year accounts are generally delivered to Companies House where required. They are not the same as a Corporation Tax Return or CT600, which is submitted to HMRC where applicable, and they do not replace a confirmation statement. A newly incorporated company may qualify to use the micro-entity accounting framework if it meets the eligibility conditions for the relevant accounting period; FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard applicable to qualifying entities using that framework. Eligibility is not automatic, so the appropriate framework should be considered based on the company’s circumstances. Directors remain responsible for keeping accurate accounting records and ensuring statutory obligations are met, even when professional support is used.

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)

─── 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 a limited company?

They are the first set of annual statutory accounts that a limited company prepares for its initial accounting period. They usually include a balance sheet and, where applicable, a profit and loss account, along with any notes and statements required by the reporting framework the company uses. They are prepared from the company's accounting records and are generally filed with Companies House where required.

When are first accounts due?

The due date depends on the company's incorporation date, its accounting reference date and the applicable Companies House filing rules. Companies House sets the first accounting reference date from the incorporation details, but it is not safe to assume every company has the same first-period length or filing deadline. Directors should check the company's Companies House record and seek advice if they are unsure.

What information is needed to prepare first-year accounts?

Typical information includes bank statements and transaction listings, sales or income records, business expense records, purchase invoices, details of asset purchases, share capital information, director transactions and any loans or finance arrangements. If the company has payroll or VAT records, those may also be relevant. A company that has had limited activity may still need to provide records and explanations so its reporting position can be assessed.

Do new limited companies in Broxburn have to file accounts with Companies House?

Most limited companies have statutory accounts filing obligations, but the position depends on the company's circumstances and applicable rules. Filing first-year accounts with Companies House is separate from submitting a Corporation Tax Return to HMRC. A company with limited or no trading activity should not automatically assume it has no filing responsibilities; it may still need to file accounts or understand whether a different reporting position applies.

Are first-year accounts different from annual accounts?

First-year accounts are simply the first annual statutory accounts for the company's initial accounting period. Later annual accounts follow for subsequent periods. The first accounting period can be different in length from later periods depending on the incorporation date and accounting reference date, so the figures and comparative information may look different from a standard year.

Are first-year accounts the same as a CT600?

No. First-year statutory accounts are prepared for the company and delivered to Companies House where required. A Corporation Tax Return, such as a CT600, is submitted to HMRC where applicable. The two are connected because the accounts may provide information used in the tax return, but they have different purposes, destinations and requirements. Filing one does not automatically complete the other.

Can a new company qualify for micro-entity accounts?

A newly incorporated company may qualify for the micro-entity framework if it meets the applicable eligibility conditions for the relevant accounting period. Qualification is not automatic, and not every new company or startup is a micro-entity. Where a company qualifies, FRS 105 may be the applicable financial reporting standard, but the correct framework should be determined from the company's circumstances.

Do first-year accounts replace the confirmation statement?

No. A confirmation statement is separate from statutory accounts. It confirms that the information Companies House holds about the company is up to date, while first-year accounts report the company's financial position for its first accounting period. A company may need to deal with both obligations depending on its circumstances.
