Skip to main content What is FRS 105?
Definition of FRS 105
FRS 105 is a financial reporting standard that is available to companies in the UK that are ‘micro-entities’. Under FRS 105, HMRC allows these companies to keep a simpler set of accounts than those required of small, medium or large companies.
Micro-entities are companies that meet two or more of the following requirements:
- A turnover of £1,000,000 or less.
- £500,000 or less on the company’s balance sheet.
- 10 employees or fewer.
Businesses using FRS 105 must file the following with HMRC annually:
- An Income Statement (this is also sometimes known as a ‘Profit and Loss account’).
- A Balance Sheet (this is also sometimes known as a ‘Statement of Financial Position’)
- Footnotes explaining any company director transactions.
Companies using FRS 105 must also file their Balance Sheet and the footnotes explaining director transactions with Companies House.
