An illustration, not advice

This shows the standard filing deadlines for a registered charity in England and Wales, based on Charity Commission and Companies House guidance at 18 October 2026. It assumes the charity is registered with the Charity Commission and, for a charitable company, that these are not its first accounts and its year end has not changed. First accounts after incorporation, a shortened year and Scottish or Northern Irish charities have different rules. If your first accounts cover more than 12 months, they are due at Companies House 21 months from incorporation, or 3 months from the accounting reference date if that is later. Charitable companies may also have a Corporation Tax return to file.
