On 26 June 2020 the Companies etc. (Filing Requirements) (Temporary Modifications) Regulations 2020 (“the regulations”) were signed into law. They came into force on 27 June 2020.
The measures introduced by the regulations will relieve the burden on businesses during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and allow them to focus all their efforts on continuing to operate.
This guidance outlines how the measures introduced by the regulations will affect public companies, private companies, LLPs, Societas Europaeas (SEs), overseas companies and European Economic Interest Groupings (EEIGs) (“relevant entities”) when those entities have to file documents or notices with Companies House.
Affected filings include:
- accounts
- confirmation statement
- event-driven filings (changes to your company)
- mortgage charges
Public companies and SEs whose original filing deadline fell before 30 June 2020 received an extension to their accounts filing deadline under the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 and will receive no further extension under the regulations.
These companies should follow the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act guidance.
