Kit & Ledger and Companies House's free reminders
Companies House will email you, free, when your accounts and confirmation statement are due. If those are the only deadlines you need to track, that may be all you need.
Kit & Ledger covers those two as well, plus the HMRC and workplace pension deadlines that apply to your company, in one place.
| Topic | Companies House reminders | Kit & Ledger |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free. | £39 a year or £4.99 a month per company, after a free check. |
| Accounts and confirmation statement | Email reminders when they're due. | The same due dates, read from your Companies House record, with reminders. |
| Corporation Tax, VAT, PAYE and payroll | Not covered. These are HMRC deadlines. | Included where they apply to your company, worked out from the dates you confirm. |

| Reminder timing | Set by Companies House. | 30 days, 7 days and 1 day before most deadlines we can monitor. |
| Changes to your company's record | Companies House's separate, free Follow service emails you when a filing is accepted on a company you follow. | A daily check of your record, with an email about changes to your registered office, directors and company secretary, people with significant control, or company status. |
| Who receives emails | Up to 4 people per company, including an agent. | The reminder email address you choose. |

What Kit & Ledger adds
- Your HMRC and pension deadlines, not just Companies House. Corporation Tax, VAT, PAYE and payroll reporting, and workplace pension duties, whichever apply. See What we monitor for the full list and its limits.
- One schedule. Every deadline that applies to your company, together in one Filing schedule.
- Honest gaps. If we can't work a date out reliably, we show Needs information rather than guess.
You can use both
Kit & Ledger doesn't replace Companies House's own service, and there's no reason to switch it off. Its reminders come straight from the registrar and cost nothing. Kit & Ledger keeps watch over everything else as well.
Kit & Ledger is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Companies House, HMRC or the UK Government.
