 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 Does Your Tadcaster Company Qualify?

First year accounts are the first set of annual statutory accounts a limited company prepares after incorporation. They cover the company’s initial accounting period, which starts on the date of incorporation and ends on the company’s first accounting reference date. Companies House sets that reference date when the company is registered, and because the first period usually runs for more than twelve months, the figures and disclosures can differ from those in later years. Preparing accounts is not optional simply because a company is new, and the obligation does not disappear if trading has been limited. The accounts are built from the company’s accounting records. Depending on the reporting framework that applies, they typically include a balance sheet, along with a profit and loss account and notes where required. Directors remain responsible for making sure the company meets its filing obligations, even when an accountant prepares and files the accounts on the company’s behalf. Some newly incorporated companies qualify to report under the micro-entity framework, and FRS 105 is the standard that applies to qualifying entities using it. Qualification is not automatic. Whether the micro-entity or small-company framework is available depends on the company meeting the applicable eligibility conditions for the relevant accounting period, so it should be confirmed before the accounts are drafted rather than assumed. It is worth keeping three obligations separate. First year statutory accounts are prepared for the company and delivered to Companies House where required — Companies House neither prepares them nor approves them; it receives them onto the public register. A Corporation Tax Return, such as a CT600, is submitted separately to HMRC, and the company’s first Corporation Tax accounting period may not match the period covered by the statutory accounts. A confirmation statement is a further, separate Companies House filing that confirms the company’s registered details. Meeting one of these requirements does not complete the others.

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)

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?

First year accounts are the initial set of statutory annual accounts a limited company prepares after incorporation. They cover the company's first accounting period, which begins on the date of incorporation and ends on the first accounting reference date. They are prepared from the company's accounting records and usually include a balance sheet, together with a profit and loss account and notes where the applicable framework requires them. Where required, they are delivered to Companies House. They are not the same as a Corporation Tax Return or a confirmation statement.

When are first year accounts due for a newly incorporated company?

The first accounting period starts on the date of incorporation and ends on the company's first accounting reference date, which Companies House sets when the company is registered. For a new private company this date generally falls at the end of the month marking the first anniversary of incorporation, but it is worth checking the date shown for your own company. The deadline for delivering the first accounts is set by reference to that date and to the incorporation date, and it is often different from the deadline that applies in later years. Rather than relying on a rule of thumb, confirm the specific dates attached to your company and plan backwards from them.

What information is needed to prepare first year accounts?

It depends on what the company has done during the period, but the starting point is a complete set of accounting records. That can include bank statements and transaction listings, sales and income records, purchase invoices and expense receipts, details of assets bought or sold, director's loan movements, share capital information, and any loans or finance agreements. Where the company operates payroll or is VAT registered, the relevant payroll or VAT records may also be needed. If activity has been limited, the records are usually much shorter, and we can confirm what is required once we understand your company's position.

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

Where a company is required to file accounts, that obligation applies whether or not the company has started trading. Companies House does not prepare the accounts and does not approve them; its role is to receive them onto the public register. If a company has had limited activity, or no significant accounting transactions, its reporting position still needs to be considered on its own facts — a quiet year does not automatically mean the company is dormant for filing purposes. Directors should check the position before assuming that nothing needs to be filed.

Are first year accounts different from the annual accounts filed in later years?

The accounts are prepared on the same general principles, but the first set covers the company's initial accounting period, which often runs for longer than twelve months because it starts on the date of incorporation and ends on the first accounting reference date. Later periods are normally twelve months long unless the company changes its accounting reference date. Because the first period is usually longer, the figures can look quite different from a standard year, so it helps to understand what the first set covers before comparing it with later filings.

Are first year accounts the same as a Corporation Tax Return or a confirmation statement?

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 separately to HMRC, and the company's first Corporation Tax accounting period does not always match the period covered by the statutory accounts. A confirmation statement is another separate filing made to Companies House to confirm the company's registered details. Completing one of these does not satisfy the others, and each has its own purpose and timetable.

Can a new limited company use micro-entity accounts and FRS 105?

Some companies qualify for the micro-entity framework and the simplified reporting it allows, and FRS 105 is the standard applicable to qualifying entities using that framework. Qualification is not automatic simply because a company is new or small. Eligibility depends on the company meeting the applicable conditions for the accounting period in question, and the appropriate framework should be confirmed before the accounts are drafted. A company that does not qualify may need to prepare accounts under a different framework, so it is worth checking the position early.

What happens if first year accounts are filed late?

Failing to deliver accounts by the applicable deadline can lead to consequences from Companies House, which may include penalties. The outcome depends on how late the accounts are and on the company's filing history, and the obligation to file the outstanding accounts remains until they are delivered — settling a penalty does not remove it. If there are genuine reasons for a delay, it may be worth seeking advice on whether an appeal is possible in the circumstances, as eligibility depends on the applicable rules. The practical step is to bring the accounts up to date as soon as possible.
