Extension of filing deadline @ Companies House

Is Companies house granting extension to the filing deadline?

Didn't find your answer?

I had an email from Accountancy Daily saying Companies House are granting filing extensions of up to 3 months if covid related?

Is this true?

I can't read the article as it's for Premium Subscribers only

I thought this extension application had expired in June 2021

Yes it’s true. Just applied for the extension. Completed an online form & received confirmation of extension a few minutes later.

Then Co house changed the rules, quietly

Yes, the 3 months' extension can be applied for easily online.

You also get the 3 months' extension for any of the other reasons for requesting too (automatically). I just requested an extension for a director who was ill (none Covid) and the company was granted the full 3 months extension within minutes.
