Companies House | extend deadlines

Companies House has temporarily extended a number of deadline – a temporary measure to help during Coronavirus.

(The Companies (Filing Requirements) (Temporary Modifications) Regulations 2020 (‘the regulations’) came into force on 27 June 2020).

Key points that we can see from this for Salon Owners are:

1. Year End Accounts
Companies House has now automatically extended the 9 month deadline to 12 months.

Initially, a 3-month filing extension had been announced from 25 March 2020 but which had to be claimed in advance.

This has now been modified, so from 27 June 2020, filing deadlines are automatically extended until 5 April 2021.

Details of each Company’s new filing deadline will now show on the Companies House website.

2. Confirmation statements
The current 14-day deadline is extended to 42 days.

3. Company Changes
“Event-driven filings” as they’re known (i.e. changes to your company) increase from the current 14-day deadline to 42 days.
