 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 has passed. If your Tonbridge company has missed this deadline, the accounts still need to be prepared and filed, and a late-filing penalty may apply depending on how late the submission is and the applicable rules. Our accountants can step in to prepare and file the overdue accounts, helping you resolve the outstanding obligation.

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.

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 your Tonbridge company repeatedly files its statutory accounts late, you may face continued late-filing penalties and increased scrutiny from Companies House. Persistent failure to meet filing obligations can, in serious cases, lead to action such as compulsory strike-off, so it's important to address any overdue accounts promptly.

Potential compulsory strike-off for persistent non-filing

What is late micro-entity accounts filing?

Late micro-entity accounts filing is when a company that qualifies as a micro-entity fails to submit its statutory accounts to Companies House by the applicable deadline. The accounts are still required, and filing them late may result in a penalty.

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

If your accounts are filed late, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty, the amount of which depends on how late the accounts are submitted. The accounts still need to be filed even if a penalty is issued, and we can help you prepare and submit them.

Can an accountant help with overdue micro-entity accounts?

Yes, an accountant can prepare and file your overdue micro-entity accounts with Companies House, helping to resolve the outstanding filing. We can also advise on the penalty process and any options you may have.

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

Yes, as long as your company meets the qualifying conditions for a micro-entity. For accounting periods beginning on or after 6 April 2025, the company must generally satisfy at least two of the following: annual turnover no more than £1 million, balance sheet total no more than £500,000, and average no more than 10 employees. Eligibility also depends on your company's specific circumstances.

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

FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard for companies that use the micro-entity framework. If your company qualifies as a micro-entity, its overdue accounts must be prepared in accordance with FRS 105, unless the company is ineligible for some reason. We can prepare the accounts under the correct framework.

Does filing overdue accounts with Companies House also satisfy HMRC's Corporation Tax filing?

No. Statutory accounts filed with Companies House are separate from Corporation Tax Returns (CT600) submitted to HMRC. Even if your accounts are overdue at Companies House, you may still need to file a CT600 and pay any Corporation Tax due. We can assist with both obligations where applicable.

Will I receive a late-filing penalty for my overdue accounts?

Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty if your accounts are filed after the statutory deadline. The penalty amount depends on how late the filing is, and it is not automatically waived. We can review your situation and guide you on the process, but we cannot guarantee penalty removal.

What information is needed to prepare overdue micro-entity accounts?

To prepare your overdue accounts, we typically need your company's financial records, including bank statements, income and expense records, and details of any loans or investments. We can advise on exactly what is required based on your company's circumstances.
