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.

─── OVERDUE ACCOUNTS EXPLAINED

What does it mean when company accounts are overdue?

Company accounts become overdue when they have not been delivered to Companies House by the statutory deadline that applies to your company. Every company has an accounting reference period, and the filing deadline depends on factors such as when that period ends and whether the accounting reference date has been changed. Once the deadline passes and the accounts remain outstanding, they are considered overdue. It is always advisable to address overdue accounts promptly because Companies House may impose late-filing penalties and, in more serious cases of persistent non-compliance, the company may face further action. However, each situation is different, and the steps you need to take depend on your company’s individual circumstances. For companies in Cradley Heath, as elsewhere, the key point is that if your company has overdue accounts, they will generally still need to be prepared and filed, even if the deadline has long since passed.

─── Why Choose Us

How Much Are Companies House Late Filing Penalties?

Penalties escalate the longer your accounts stay unfiled, and they double if your company also filed late in the previous financial year. Acting now is the single most effective way to cap what you owe.

How late the accounts are	Private company	Public company
Up to 1 month late	£150	£300
1 to 3 months late	£375	£750
3 to 6 months late	£750	£1,500
More than 6 months late	£1,500	£3,000

HMRC applies separate penalties for late Corporation Tax Returns, starting at £100 per return plus interest on unpaid tax. Companies House late-filing penalties can change, so check the current GOV.UK guidance for the latest penalty rules.

─── FAQs

Overdue Company Accounts FAQs

Still unsure where you stand? Reach out to our UK team at info@microentityaccounts.co.uk and we will review your filing history with you.

What are overdue company accounts?

Overdue company accounts are annual accounts that have not been delivered to Companies House by the statutory filing deadline that applies to your company. When the deadline passes and the required accounts have not been submitted, they are considered overdue. The obligation to file the accounts does not disappear simply because the deadline has passed.

My company in Cradley Heath hasn't filed accounts for a while. Do they still need to be filed?

Yes, in most cases the outstanding accounts will still need to be prepared and filed with Companies House, regardless of how late they are. The exact requirements depend on the company's accounting periods and whether accounts were previously delivered. Filing overdue accounts does not automatically remove any late-filing penalty, but it does address the outstanding obligation. We can help you assess what is still required.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. A dormant company can still have a filing obligation for its annual accounts. If the required accounts have not been delivered to Companies House by the applicable deadline, those accounts will be overdue. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate matters, so it is important to check the company's specific filing history.

What happens if I file company accounts late?

If accounts are delivered to Companies House after the filing deadline, Companies House may impose a late-filing penalty. The amount and whether a penalty is applied depend on the length of delay and the company's circumstances. Importantly, paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to file the overdue accounts. If you are concerned about a penalty, we can review the situation, but we cannot guarantee that a penalty will be reduced or cancelled.

I've missed more than one year of accounts. Is each period treated separately?

Generally speaking, each accounting period that is outstanding will need its own set of accounts prepared and delivered to Companies House. The filing requirements for each period may differ, and you may need to bring several filings up to date. We can help you work through the periods that are outstanding and confirm what documentation is needed.

Will overdue accounts stop a company from being dissolved or struck off?

Persistent failure to file accounts can increase the risk of Companies House taking action against a company, which may include compulsory strike-off. However, not every company with overdue accounts will automatically face this. If you have received a warning letter or a strike-off notice, the situation is more urgent and separate advice may be needed. Filing the outstanding accounts could help bring the company back into compliance, but it does not automatically prevent or reverse strike-off action.

What information does Micro Entity Accounts need to prepare overdue accounts?

To prepare overdue company accounts, we generally need financial information for the relevant accounting period, such as bank statements, records of income and expenses, previous accounts if available, and details of any loans, directors' interests or other transactions. The exact information depends on your company's circumstances and which accounting periods are outstanding. We will confirm what is required when you get in touch.

Are micro-entity accounts an option for my overdue filing?

If your company qualifies as a micro-entity under the applicable Companies Act criteria, it may be possible to prepare the overdue accounts using the micro-entity framework, such as FRS 105. Not every small or non-trading company automatically qualifies, so eligibility needs to be checked based on the company's size and other factors. We can confirm which reporting framework applies to your company.
