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.

 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 occurs when a company that qualifies for the micro-entity regime fails to deliver its statutory accounts to Companies House by the applicable deadline. Even after the deadline has passed, the accounts must still be prepared and filed to meet the company’s legal obligations. Depending on how late the filing is, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty, so it is important to address the matter promptly.

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.

What's Included in Our Late Micro-Entity Filing Service?

Our fixed-fee service covers the accounts and filing requirements typically needed by qualifying micro-entity companies, from preparation to submission.

Overdue Accounts Preparation

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.

Penalty Appeal Support

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.

Consequences of Repeatedly Filing Late

If a company repeatedly misses its accounts filing deadline, it may face escalating penalties and increased scrutiny from Companies House. Each late filing is a separate breach, and persistent failure can lead to more serious enforcement action, including potential strike-off proceedings in extreme cases.

Continued late-filing penalties for each outstanding accounting period.
Possible loss of the company's ability to file micro-entity accounts if it fails to meet ongoing filing obligations.
Increased risk of Companies House taking action to strike the company off the register if accounts remain unfiled.

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.

Late Filing FAQs

What is late micro-entity accounts filing?

Late micro-entity accounts filing refers to the situation where a company eligible for the micro-entity regime fails to deliver its statutory accounts to Companies House by the statutory deadline. Even if the deadline has passed, the accounts still need to be prepared and filed to comply with company law.

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

If you file your micro-entity accounts late, Companies House will likely issue a late-filing penalty. The amount of the penalty depends on how late the accounts are filed and the applicable rules. The accounts must still be filed even if a penalty is issued, and paying the penalty does not remove the need to file.

Do I still need to file overdue micro-entity accounts?

Yes, overdue micro-entity accounts must still be filed with Companies House. Failing to file them can lead to further penalties and potential enforcement action. Our team can help you prepare and file the outstanding accounts to bring your company back into compliance.

Can you help with Companies House late-filing penalties?

We can assist with preparing and filing your overdue accounts, which may help you avoid further penalties. However, we cannot guarantee that existing penalties will be reduced or removed. If you believe you have a reasonable excuse for late filing, you may be able to appeal to Companies House, and we can review your circumstances to advise on the options.

Can my company still use the micro-entity framework if its accounts are overdue?

Yes, if your company meets the micro-entity eligibility criteria for the relevant accounting period. For accounting periods beginning on or after 6 April 2025, the criteria are an 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. You must meet at least two of these conditions, subject to the applicable rules. The fact that accounts are overdue does not automatically disqualify your company, but eligibility must be assessed.

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

FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard for micro-entities in the UK. If your company qualifies for the micro-entity regime, its statutory accounts must be prepared in accordance with FRS 105. This applies even if the accounts are overdue. We can prepare the accounts under FRS 105 for filing with Companies House.

Are overdue accounts filed with Companies House or HMRC?

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

What information do I need to provide for overdue micro-entity accounts?

To prepare overdue micro-entity accounts, we will typically need your company's financial records, including details of income, expenses, assets, and liabilities for the relevant period. If you do not have full records, we can help you reconstruct them from available information. Providing as much as possible will help us prepare the accounts accurately.
