Late micro-entity accounts filing in Beighton

Late accounts for Beighton micro-entities

Late filing penalties for a private company start at £150 if the accounts are up to a month late, then £375 for one to three months, £750 for three to six months and £1,500 beyond six months. The penalties double if you are late two years running. They are charged to the company, and Companies House only considers an appeal for a reasonable excuse, so speed matters.

In professional, scientific and technical services (2,210 micro businesses in Sheffield), fee income, work in progress at the year end and how directors are paid are the key decisions, so we plan these with you before the accounts are finalised. In construction (2,025 micro businesses in Sheffield), Construction Industry Scheme deductions, retentions and stage payments can distort profit, so we reconcile your CIS statements before the accounts are prepared.
