Late micro-entity accounts filing in Warwick

Late accounts for Warwick 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.
