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.

─── OVERDUE ACCOUNTS EXPLAINED

Understanding Overdue Company Accounts and Why They Matter

Company accounts are overdue when the required statutory accounts have not been delivered to Companies House by the applicable filing deadline. For a company director in Fareham, an overdue filing can feel daunting, but the most important step is to address it without delay. The specific obligations depend on the company’s accounting period, size and reporting framework, so there is no single rule that applies to every business. What is clear is that outstanding accounts should not be ignored. As time passes, Companies House may take a more serious view of persistent non-compliance, and separate late-filing penalties may apply. Micro Entity Accounts can help you review what is outstanding and prepare the accounts required to bring your company’s record up to date.

─── 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 does it mean if my company accounts are overdue?

If your company accounts have not been delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline, they are considered overdue. The exact deadline depends on your company's accounting reference period and other circumstances. When accounts become overdue, the filing obligation does not disappear — the outstanding accounts still need to be prepared and filed, and late-filing penalties may apply.

Why would a company have overdue accounts?

There are many reasons why accounts may be filed late. A director might have been unaware of the filing deadline, or the company may have experienced bookkeeping delays, changes in accountants, illness or other unexpected events. Whatever the reason, it is important to deal with the overdue filing as soon as possible. A professional accountant can review your company's filing history and help you understand what needs to be filed.

I've missed the Companies House deadline. Do I still need to prepare and file my accounts?

Yes. If your company is required to file statutory accounts, those accounts still need to be delivered to Companies House even after the deadline has passed. Filing the outstanding accounts is necessary to bring the company back into compliance, although it does not automatically affect any late-filing penalty that may have been imposed. The accounts must be prepared according to the reporting framework that applies to your company.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormant companies can still be required to file annual accounts with Companies House. Being dormant or not trading does not automatically remove the filing obligation, particularly if the company has not yet submitted the necessary confirmation. If a dormant company has missed its filing deadline, the accounts are overdue and should be filed. Whether you can use dormant-company accounts depends on the company's specific circumstances.

What happens if my accounts are filed late with Companies House?

When accounts are filed after the statutory deadline, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty. This penalty is separate from the need to file the outstanding accounts, and paying it does not remove the requirement to deliver the accounts. In some cases, you may be able to appeal a penalty if there were exceptional circumstances, but eligibility depends on the rules and the facts of your case. It is always best to file as soon as you can.

I have more than one accounting period outstanding. What should I do?

If several years of accounts have not been filed, each outstanding accounting period may need to be prepared and delivered separately. This means you may be required to provide financial records for more than one period. A specialist accountant can help you work through the backlog, but the sooner you begin, the sooner the situation can be resolved. Ignoring multiple overdue filings generally increases the risk of further action from Companies House.

What information is needed to prepare overdue accounts?

The exact information required depends on the company's circumstances and the accounting periods involved. In most cases, you will need bank statements, income and expense records, details of any outstanding loans or director transactions, and previous accounts if they exist. A good accountant will provide a clear checklist and guide you through what is needed, rather than leaving you to guess.

Are Corporation Tax returns the same as Companies House accounts?

No. Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House, while Corporation Tax returns such as CT600 are submitted to HMRC. These are separate compliance obligations. If your company has both overdue accounts and overdue Corporation Tax returns, each matter needs to be dealt with. Filing one does not automatically satisfy the other. We can help you understand the difference and support you with the necessary filings.
