It\u2019s easier to file your accounts online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Request an authentication code<\/a>, if you have not already got one. It\u2019s sent by post to the company\u2019s registered office and can take up to 5 days to arrive.<\/p>\n

File early and file online<\/h2>\n

File online before your deadline and we\u2019ll send you an email to confirm we\u2019ve received your accounts. We\u2019ll send you another email when they\u2019ve been registered.<\/p>\n

It can take as little as 15 minutes from start to finish and you\u2019ll know your accounts have been delivered on time.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a small company, you cannot file abbreviated accounts any more. Our guidance<\/a> explains your options.<\/p>\n

Avoid rejections<\/h2>\n

Our online filing service has inbuilt checks to help you avoid mistakes.<\/p>\n

Accounts filed on paper need to be manually checked. We can only check them during office opening hours<\/a>, and they can take over a week to process.<\/p>\n

If you have to file paper accounts, you may want to use a guaranteed next day delivery service. Send your accounts well before the deadline in case you need time to resubmit them. If your accounts are rejected and you need to resend them, you could be too late to avoid a penalty.<\/p>\n

Postal delays will not be accepted as an excuse for late filing.<\/p>\n
