📢 Important Update for UK Businesses ‼️
🚨 From 1 April 2027: New Filing Rules at Companies House 🚨
From 1 April 2027, Companies House will no longer accept web or paper accounts plus a profit and loss report will be published on the public register 🔎👀
✅ All companies & LLPs must file via commercial software (most accountants will already be doing this).
✅ Small and micro companies can’t file abridged accounts.
• Micro-entities now must submit both a balance sheet and profit & loss account.
• Small companies must also include a directors’ report and, if not audited, a directors’ statement on audit exemption.
✅ Profit & loss accounts will become part of the public register, increasing transparency and comparability.
Why this matters?
✔️ Boosted transparency & data accuracy—part of the wider Economic Crime & Corporate Transparency Act 2023.
✔️Enables better fraud detection, faster processing & more robust oversight.
✔️ However, it brings extra admin & cost, especially for smaller businesses and self-filing directors.
