Let\u2019s get started.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What changes are being made?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two main changes are being introduced:<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h4>1. Paper filing of annual accounts is being stopped<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will no longer be able to file annual accounts via paper with Companies House. You will also not be able to use Companies House WebFiling or CATO (Company Accounts and Tax Online), the Companies House and HMRC joint filing service.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, annual accounts must be delivered through pre-approved software. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/company-filing-software\/filing-annual-accounts-returns-and-tax-accounts\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See here for a list of software that Companies House has tested<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For companies that must use the paper filing method because their accounts are complex, Companies House is upgrading its upload facility so that it can handle zip files (this is expected to go live in 2024).<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h4>2. Small companies and micro-entities must provide profit and loss information<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Small companies will need to include profit and loss accounts (something not previously required) as part of their annual accounts, plus a director\u2019s report.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Micro-entity companies will also need to include profit and loss accounts (again, something not previously required) as part of their annual accounts; however, a director\u2019s report will not be necessary (but is optional).<\/span><\/p>\n            <div class=\"revolut_shortcode\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/revolutbusiness.ngih.net\/daV2kQ\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-brand.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/assets\/images\/revolut_mobile.png\"\n                        alt=\"Revolut Business & Affiliates.\"\n                        class=\"revolut_shortcode-mobile\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-brand.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/assets\/images\/revolut_desktop.png\"\n                        alt=\"Revolut Business & Affiliates.\"\n                        class=\"revolut_shortcode-desktop\">\n                <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n            \n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The option for companies to file abridged accounts will be removed. Whilst dormant company accounts will still be permitted for companies that have not taken part in any trading activity, these must be accompanied by a statement that confirms the company qualifies for an audit exemption.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What is a small company?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to filing annual accounts, a company is classified as a small company if it meets two of the below criteria:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has a turnover of \u00a310.2 million or less<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has \u00a35.1 million or less on the balance sheet<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has 50 employees or less<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What is a micro-entity?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A company is classified as a micro-entity if it meets two of the below criteria:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has a turnover of \u00a3632,000 or less<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has \u00a3316,000 or less on the balance sheet<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has 10 employees or less<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As these figures would suggest, the majority of the Companies House public register is made up of small companies and micro-entities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>When are the annual account changes taking place?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The annual account updates are being introduced in phases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The current expectations are that the profit and loss account requirements for small companies and micro-entities will be introduced in early 2025 (secondary legislation with more detail will be issued before this).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Software-only account filing is expected to come into force by the middle of 2025.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Why are these changes being made by Companies House?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The changes make up part of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislation.gov.uk\/ukpga\/2023\/56\/enacted\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (ECCTA).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Act aims to \u2018improve transparency over UK companies and other legal entities in order to strengthen our business environment, support our national security and combat economic crime, whilst delivering a more reliable companies register to underpin business activity.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Software-only account filing is a more traceable, secure, and reliable method when compared to paper filing. Plus, it\u2019s more sustainable. The majority of companies already use software filing, so making it compulsory shouldn\u2019t cause too many problems.<\/span><\/p>\n            <div class=\"hubspot_shortcode\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/hubspot.sjv.io\/OrKdGZ\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-brand.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/assets\/images\/hubspot_mobile.png\"\n                        alt=\"Get Started With HubSpot's Free Tools.\"\n                        class=\"hubspot_shortcode-mobile\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-brand.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/assets\/images\/hubspot_desktop.png\"\n                        alt=\"Get Started With HubSpot's Free Tools.\"\n                        class=\"hubspot_shortcode-desktop\">\n                <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n        \n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The requirement for small companies and micro-entities to \u2018open up\u2019 and file profit and loss accounts is being implemented to remove the element of disclosure that has, arguably, previously appealed to fraudsters. It will also enable other businesses to be more diligent regarding who they do and don\u2019t operate with, as more financial information will be available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, critics argue that this is simply adding another task to the to-do list of the UK small business owner, and could result in larger companies taking advantage of their smaller counterparts, as they will gain more financial insight.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How Quality Company Formations can help<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All companies must file annual accounts whether or not they are trading. The deadline for filing annual accounts is 9 months after the end of the company\u2019s financial year. However, the first set of accounts after incorporation is due 21 months after the date of incorporation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualitycompanyformations.co.uk\/blog\/what-are-the-dividend-tax-rates-in-the-uk\/\" class=\"related\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><span class=\"related-title\">What are the dividend tax rates in the UK?<\/span><\/a>\n                                                                        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualitycompanyformations.co.uk\/blog\/dormant-company-accounts-saving-your-time-and-money\/\" class=\"related\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><span class=\"related-title\">Dormant company accounts &#8211; saving you time and money<\/span><\/a>\n                                                                        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualitycompanyformations.co.uk\/blog\/accountant-bookkeeper-difference\/\" class=\"related\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><span class=\"related-title\">Accountant vs bookkeeper: what&#8217;s the difference?<\/span><\/a>\n                    <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/annual-accounts\/penalties-for-late-filing#:~:text=for%20late%20filing-,Penalties%20for%20late%20filing,-You%E2%80%99ll%20have%20to\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">penalties in place for late filing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, with fees increasing depending on how late you are.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you require assistance in filing your company\u2019s annual accounts, we can help.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>If your company is trading<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have partnerships in place with several accounting software providers who can help deliver your annual accounts to Companies House, including Iris and Xero (both of which appear on the Companies House list of tested accounting software).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To opt-in to these accounting solutions (if you are a QCF customer):<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualitycompanyformations.co.uk\/login\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Log in to your Client Portal<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Select \u2018My Companies\u2019<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Select your company name<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Select the \u2018Getting Started\u2019 tab located at the top of the page<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will be presented with your accounting software options<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Select \u2018Add to Cart\u2019 next to the provider that you are interested in<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Complete the checkout process (no payment is required)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will then receive an email with more information and a dedicated link to help you get started.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>If your company is not trading<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We offer a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualitycompanyformations.co.uk\/services\/dormant-company-accounts\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Dormant Company Accounts Service<\/a> (available for only \u00a349.99 +VAT), where our company experts will take care of everything for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>So, there you have it&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks for reading.
