Posted by The first full set of accounts for Madeleine’s Fund: Leaving No Stone Unturned Ltd were made up to March 31, 2008 and were filed with Companies House on January 26, 2009.
The filing deadline is the end of January.
The big question today is whether the accounts ending March 31, 2009 will deliberately be filed late.
The fact that January 31, 2010 falls on a Sunday is irrelevant. As the law states, the accounts have to be in by that date or else the company will face a financial penalty according to this table:
| Length of delay (measured from
the date the accounts are due) |
Private
company |
Public company |
|---|---|---|
| Not more than 1 month | £150 | £750 |
| More than 1 month but not more than 3 months | £375 | £1,500 |
| More than 3 months but not more than 6 months | £750 | £3,000 |
| More than 6 months | £1500 | £7,500 |
Any tax liabilities on the March 31, 2009 accounts will also become due on January 31, 2010. H.M. Revenue has their own set of penalties for late payment of tax.
As we keep checking with Companies House, we have to wonder if they will make it in time.
