Unpaid share capitalMoney the company had asked its shareholders to pay for their shares that was still unpaid at the year-end. If shareholders had paid for all their shares, enter 0. Use the company's share records.
Intangible assetsThings of value the company owns that you cannot touch, such as patents, licences, trade marks and concessions. Use the company's accounts or fixed-asset records. Leave out anything the company made itself rather than bought, such as software it wrote or its own brand, logo or customer list: the accounting standard for micro-entities says something a company generates itself is not an asset, and what it cost is an expense.
Property, plant and equipmentPhysical fixed assets such as computers, vehicles, machinery, office equipment, or premises. Use the year-end value from your accounts or fixed-asset register.
InvestmentsLong-term investments held by the company, such as shares in another company. Use the company's accounts or investment records.

Creditors due within one yearAmounts the company must pay within 12 months after the year-end, such as unpaid bills, Corporation Tax, or short-term loan repayments. Use the year-end creditor list from your bookkeeping records.

The members have not required the company to obtain an audit in accordance with section 476 of the Companies Act 2006.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the micro-entity provisions and delivered in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.

We can only file if all four are true. If one isn't true for the company, leave this unticked and ask whoever prepares the accounts.

If you would rather not work it out, open the monthly worksheet and we will add the months up and offer you a figure.

May we use analytics, and record your visit, to see where our form is hard to use? Analytics counts pages and notes clicks (including repeated clicks and clicks that do nothing), where people click, errors and page speed, never what you type. In a recording, our own words, such as headings, questions and hints, can show; what you type, and the company and tax details we show you, are hidden, and any other text is hidden unless we have marked it as our own. Your Companies House authentication code and Government Gateway login are never recorded. It is optional and does not change the service you get.
