Form 225 - Change of Accounting Reference Date - Company Formation - UK Registration Services

Form 225 is used to change the accounting reference date of a company. Form 225 is freely available from us (see below)or the Companies House Registrar.

The Form must be submitted before the end of the period of accounts which will be altered or during the period permitted for submitting the relevant company financial statements.

The company accounting reference date is the date each year to which the company's financial accounts are prepared. The accounting reference date usually the the end of a calendar month.

The month that a company's reference date ends when the company is first formed, is the last day of the month in which company formation occurs. For example, if company formation occurs on 7th of May, the initial accounting reference date will be 31 May.
