Changes to company accounts requirements delayed. Companies House has confirmed (in an update to its guidance on filing company accounts) that changes to company accounts made by the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 (ECCTA) will not come into effect in April 2027, as originally scheduled. The changes include requiring companies to file their accounts using commercial software, and the removal of certain filing relaxations for small companies and micro-entities.
You can read more on the ECCTA in our recent article The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 (ECCTA).
