Overdue company accounts are statutory accounts that a limited company was required to deliver to Companies House by a particular filing deadline, but which have not been submitted. Once the deadline passes without the accounts being delivered, they are considered overdue.
Company accounts can become overdue for a variety of reasons, such as lost records, illness, administrative oversight, or simply not realising that a filing deadline applied. Whatever the reason, the requirement to file the outstanding accounts remains, and the company may need to address each missed period separately.
Yes. If accounts are overdue, they still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House, unless the company has been formally dissolved or is otherwise no longer required to file. Filing overdue accounts is necessary to bring the company's filing history up to date, and doing so does not automatically remove any late-filing penalties.
Yes. A dormant company can have overdue accounts if it failed to file the required accounts by the applicable deadline. Dormancy may affect the content of the accounts, but it does not automatically remove the obligation to file annual accounts with Companies House.
Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. The penalty is determined by how late the accounts are filed and depends on the company's specific circumstances. Paying any penalty does not remove the requirement to deliver the outstanding accounts.
If a company has missed several accounting periods, each outstanding period will generally need its own set of statutory accounts to be prepared and filed. Filing one set of overdue accounts does not automatically resolve the others, so it is important to address all outstanding periods to bring the filing history up to date.
No. Statutory accounts filed with Companies House are separate from Corporation Tax returns, such as the CT600, which are submitted to HMRC. Filing overdue accounts does not automatically satisfy any outstanding Corporation Tax filing obligations, so you may also need to deal with HMRC separately.
The information required to prepare overdue accounts depends on the company's circumstances and the accounting periods involved. Commonly, we need access to relevant financial records such as bank statements, invoices, expense records, details of any previous accounts, and confirmation of company details. We can discuss exactly what is needed based on your particular situation.
