Change of accounting reference date \u2013 Form 225<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every company has an accounting reference date, which is the date by reference to which the company\u2019s financial year is determined. It must prepare accounts for each financial year. Generally, a company\u2019s accounting reference date is the last day of the month in which the anniversary of its incorporation falls. For example: Company incorporated on 16 May [2013] \u2013 accounting reference date would be 31 May of every year. You can change the accounting reference date by using this form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change of registered office \u2013 Form 287<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

All companies must have a registered office; this is where all official documents, notices and court papers have to be sent. The address must be a physical location, not just a post office box. This is because people have the right to visit your office to inspect certain registers and documents, and to deliver documents by hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can change your registered office address by sending a completed Form 287 to the Registrar of Companies. The change only becomes legally effective when we received a completed form. This form has to be submitted within 14 days of the change of registered office otherwise the company will be liable to a late penalty fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
