Is there a late filing fee for Annual Returns?

No. Companies House do not impose a late filing fee if the annual return (AR01) is filed after the deadline. However, if a return is not filed at all Companies House may prosecute the company and its officers as well as strike the company from the register. It’s worth noting that there is a penalty if annual accounts are filed after the deadline.
