Hi

I'm filing my Companies House Annual Return for the first time.
I'm in the 'Capital Section'. I must admit I'm totally lost and my accountant isn't around at the moment to ask.

It's a limited company, with me being the director, and I employ myself. Hopefully that makes it simple? The questions are:

Currency:
Class of share:
Amount paid up on each share:
Amount unpaid on each share:
Number of shares:
Aggregate nominal value:


I've looked up on Google what all this means but it's just confused me even more. Any advice would gratefully be received.

Unless your accountant is going to be away for a long time with no cover/no one else who can help, and the annual return isnt needed urgently I'd leave it until they are back.

Generally you'll find the details you need in with the documents you had when you set up the company assuming you've not changed the shares/shareholdings.

It's a limited company, with me being the director, and I employ myself. Hopefully that makes it simple? The questions are:

Currency: £
Class of share: Ordinary
Amount paid up on each share: £1
Amount unpaid on each share:
Number of shares:????? how many was issued
Aggregate nominal value:
£1

At a very rough guess if it is a completely standard company formation:)

As nicola says it probably will wait until your accountant comes back unless you have ignored the form for more than 3 months in which case you will be getting a letter threatening that the company will be struck off. from this point you still have 3 months to file:D
