He helped me sort out a very complicated backlog of accounts and prepared my overdue tax returns with professionalism and attention to detail. Throughout the process, he was incredibly patient, took the time to answer all of my questions, and explained everything clearly. He guided me through each step and helped rectify issues that had built up over time, making what felt like an overwhelming situation much more manageable. I'm very pleased with the service I've received and truly appreciate his support. If you need help with your accounts or taxes, I would highly recommend Imran.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with a few different accountants before finally settling with Accotax, and we’re really glad we did. Their team is great. Abdul is responsive and easy to reach whenever I have a question, which makes a big difference. They take the time to understand how our business works and what our needs are. They are very knowledgeable, and when they don’t have the answer straight away, they take the time to look into it and get back to us quickly. Anum, who looks after our account on a day-to-day basis, including reconciling invoices and preparing the annual accounts, is amazing. She is professional, efficient, and follows the processes we have put in place together. She's also very quickin getting back to us whenever needed. We’re very happy to work with her and hope to continue doing so for as long as possible. Overall, Accotax has made our accounting experience much smoother and easier. We see them as a long-term partner as our business continues to grow. I would 100% recommend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have really impressed to date with all dealings with Accotax highly enough. From day one, they've made what can often be a complicated and stressful part of running a business feel straightforward and hassle-free. A special mention has to go to Anum, who has been friendly, incredibly responsive, and genuinely cares about providing the best possible service. No question is ever too much trouble, and she consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything is dealt with efficiently. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for an accountant they can genuinely trust.

───Late filing explained

What Does Late Micro-Entity Accounts Filing Mean?

Late micro-entity accounts filing refers to submitting your company’s statutory accounts to Companies House after the legal deadline. If you have missed this deadline, the accounts still need to be prepared and filed, and a late-filing penalty may apply depending on how late the filing is. Our team can assist eligible companies in Blackpool with preparing the necessary accounts and submitting them to Companies House, helping you address the outstanding filing.

Companies House Late Filing Penalties

Penalties are charged automatically based on how late your accounts are delivered, and they double where accounts were also filed late for the previous financial year. The figures below apply to accounts delivered after the statutory deadline.

How late the accounts are	Private company	Public company
Up to 1 month late	£150	£750
1 to 3 months late	£375	£1,500
3 to 6 months late	£750	£3,000
More than 6 months late	£1,500	£7,500

Penalty levels are set by Companies House and may change. Separate HMRC penalties and interest may apply to late Corporation Tax Returns and unpaid tax. View the latest Companies House late filing penalty guidance.

We review the available bank statements, invoices and financial records and prepare the relevant micro-entity accounts based on the information available and the applicable reporting requirements.

Companies House Late Filing

Where applicable, we prepare the relevant statutory accounts and complete the Companies House filing process once the required information and approvals are in place.

Late Corporation Tax Returns

We prepare and file the matching CT600 returns with HMRC, calculate the tax due and confirm interest or penalty positions.

Multiple Year Catch-Up

Two, three or more years behind? We review each outstanding accounting period and prepare the relevant accounts in an appropriate sequence based on your company's circumstances and filing requirements.

Where appropriate, we can review whether there may be grounds for an appeal and assist with preparing relevant supporting information. Any decision remains with the relevant authority.

Strike-Off & Dormant Filings

We can review the circumstances of a dormant company or proposed strike-off and help identify the relevant outstanding filing requirements.

What Are the Risks of Repeatedly Filing Late?

Filing late once can be stressful, but doing so repeatedly can lead to more serious consequences. Each late filing may result in a separate Companies House penalty, and persistent failure to meet filing obligations could put your company at risk of further action.

Continued outstanding filing obligations that need to be resolved.
Potential late-filing penalties from Companies House for each late period.
In serious cases, possible action such as compulsory strike-off if filings remain outstanding.

Behind on More Than One Accounting Period?

If your company has more than one outstanding set of accounts, the situation may require a review of the company’s filing history and available financial records. Micro Entity Accounts can help you understand which periods may need attention and discuss the work required to prepare the relevant outstanding accounts.

What exactly is late micro-entity accounts filing?

Late micro-entity accounts filing occurs when a company that qualifies as a micro-entity fails to submit its statutory accounts to Companies House by the applicable deadline. Even if the deadline has passed, the accounts still need to be prepared and filed to bring the company's filing record up to date.

What happens if my micro-entity accounts are filed late?

When micro-entity accounts are filed late, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty. The amount depends on how late the accounts are submitted and the rules in force. The penalty is separate from the requirement to file the accounts themselves – you must still file the overdue accounts to resolve the outstanding obligation.

Can an accountant help me file late micro-entity accounts?

Yes, a qualified accountant can prepare your overdue micro-entity accounts and file them with Companies House on your behalf. We can review your company's financial records, prepare accounts under FRS 105 if eligible, and submit them to Companies House, helping you navigate the late filing process.

Will my company still qualify as a micro-entity if our accounts are late?

Qualifying as a micro-entity depends on your company meeting certain conditions, not on whether your accounts are filed on time. For accounting periods beginning on or after 6 April 2025, your company generally needs to meet at least two of these three criteria: annual turnover of no more than £1 million, a balance sheet total of no more than £500,000, and an average of no more than 10 employees. We can assess your eligibility based on your circumstances.

What is FRS 105 and how does it apply to overdue accounts?

FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard for micro-entities that use the micro-entity accounting framework. If your company qualifies as a micro-entity, FRS 105 may be used when preparing the statutory accounts, even if those accounts are overdue. The standard simplifies reporting, but eligibility must be confirmed for the relevant accounting period.

Are overdue micro-entity accounts filed with Companies House?

Yes, statutory accounts, including those prepared under the micro-entity regime, are filed with Companies House. This is separate from your Corporation Tax Return (CT600), which is submitted to HMRC. Filing overdue accounts with Companies House does not automatically complete your HMRC filing obligations, so both may need attention.

Will filing overdue accounts resolve my HMRC Corporation Tax obligations?

Filing overdue accounts with Companies House does not automatically resolve your Corporation Tax Return obligations with HMRC. The CT600 Corporation Tax Return is a separate filing that must be submitted to HMRC, along with any Corporation Tax due. We can assist with preparing both, where applicable, to help you get back on track.

What happens if I have more than one accounting period outstanding?

If more than one set of accounts is overdue, each period must be prepared and filed separately with Companies House. This can compound the late-filing penalties, as each late period may attract its own penalty. Our team can help you prioritise and bring all outstanding periods up to date, ensuring you meet your legal obligations.
