Tax filing

I am filing final accounts for a ceased company.
Incorporation: 9 April 2024
Cessation: 16 January 2025
TinyTax is still showing the default Companies House period to 30 April 2025.
Please update the accounting period to a single final period ending 16 January 2025.”

Thanks for getting in touch.

Unfortunately, you can't file shortened accounts to Companies House - the accounting period is fixed at 9 April 2024 to 30 April 2025 until either you change your Accounting Reference Date (form AA01) or the company is dissolved.

Since your first accounts are due 9 January 2026 (in 2 days), you need to:

1. File CH accounts and CT600 for the full period (ending 30 April 2025). If there is no trading activity this is very simple to do through TinyTax.

2. And apply for strike-off (form DS01) once filings are complete
