 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.

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

Understanding Late Micro-Entity Accounts Filing

Late micro-entity accounts filing occurs when an eligible company misses its statutory deadline for submitting accounts to Companies House. Even if the deadline has passed, the obligation to file remains, and professional assistance can ensure your overdue accounts are prepared correctly and submitted promptly. Late filing can result in a penalty from Companies House, which increases the longer the accounts remain outstanding.

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

The Consequences of Repeatedly Filing Late

Continuing to file your company's accounts late can lead to escalating penalties and increased scrutiny from Companies House. Beyond financial penalties, persistent non-compliance may result in more serious action, such as strike-off proceedings, which could have severe implications for your business.

Accumulating late-filing penalties for each overdue period.
Potential removal of the company from the Companies House register if obligations are persistently ignored.
Difficulty obtaining credit or dealing with other authorities due to a poor compliance record.

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 refers to the situation where a company eligible to use the micro-entity framework fails to submit its statutory accounts to Companies House by the applicable deadline. Even if the deadline has passed, the company is still legally required to file those accounts, and professional help can ensure they are prepared and submitted correctly.

What happens if I file my micro-entity accounts late?

If you file your micro-entity accounts late, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty. The amount of the penalty depends on how late the accounts are filed, and it increases with the length of the delay. Importantly, paying the penalty does not remove the requirement to file the overdue accounts; they must still be submitted.

Can an accountant help me with overdue micro-entity accounts?

Yes, an accountant experienced in micro-entity reporting can assist you in preparing and filing overdue accounts. They can review your financial records, prepare the accounts under FRS 105 if eligible, and submit them to Companies House on your behalf, helping to bring your filing up to date and reduce the risk of further penalties.

If my accounts are late, can I still use the micro-entity framework?

Yes, lateness itself does not disqualify a company from using the micro-entity framework. The company must still meet the qualifying criteria for the relevant accounting period. For periods beginning on or after 6 April 2025, a company generally qualifies if it meets at least two of the following: annual turnover no more than £1 million, balance sheet total no more than £500,000, and average number of employees no more than 10.

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

FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard applicable to micro-entities in the UK. If your company qualifies as a micro-entity, your accounts must be prepared using this standard. When preparing overdue accounts, we will apply FRS 105 to ensure your accounts are presented correctly, even if they are being filed late.

Do I need to file my overdue accounts with Companies House or HMRC?

Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House, while Corporation Tax Returns (such as the CT600) are submitted to HMRC separately. Filing your overdue accounts with Companies House does not automatically satisfy your Corporation Tax obligations. We can assist with both, but they are distinct filings.

What information do I need to provide for the preparation of overdue accounts?

To prepare overdue accounts, we will need your company's financial records for the relevant period, including bank statements, income and expense records, any previous accounts, and details of any loans or shareholders' funds. If you are missing records, we can advise on how to reconstruct them.

Can an LLP also benefit from late micro-entity accounts filing assistance?

Yes, LLPs may qualify for micro-entity reporting if they meet the applicable criteria. If your LLP has missed its filing deadline, we can help prepare and file its overdue accounts under the micro-entity framework, subject to eligibility.
