He helped me sort out a very complicated backlog of accounts and prepared my overdue tax returns with professionalism and attention to detail.

 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 Makes Company Accounts Overdue — and Why It Matters

Company accounts become overdue when the statutory filing deadline for a particular accounting period passes and the required accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. The date that applies is not the same for every company: it depends on factors such as the company’s accounting reference period, whether it is newly incorporated or changing its year end, and its own filing history. Once that deadline has passed, the accounts are treated as outstanding, and the obligation to prepare and deliver them does not disappear. Directors in Lincs who find themselves in this position should address it promptly, because the longer a set of accounts stays outstanding, the more the position can develop — Companies House may impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and persistent failure to meet filing obligations can increase the risk of further action being taken against the company. That said, an overdue filing does not mean the company has been removed from the register, and it does not mean the position cannot be put right. Companies House does not prepare accounts for you, and no accountant can guarantee acceptance of a filing, but the practical route forward is to establish exactly which periods are outstanding, prepare the accounts on the correct basis, have them reviewed and authorised by the director, and then deliver them. It is also worth remembering that annual accounts are only one part of a company’s compliance obligations: confirmation statements, Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600 where applicable, and other HMRC matters are dealt with separately, so bringing your accounts up to date may resolve one outstanding item without automatically resolving the others. The appropriate reporting framework also depends on the company’s legal structure, accounting period, size and circumstances — some companies prepare micro-entity accounts under FRS 105, others prepare small-company or another applicable form of statutory accounts, and eligibility needs to be considered rather than assumed. Where the company is dormant, that status does not remove the filing obligation either. We can review your circumstances and set out what needs to be done.

─── 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.

Need to Bring Overdue Accounts Up to Date? We Can Take It From Here

Realising that company accounts have gone past their filing deadline is stressful, and it is common for directors to put off dealing with it because they are unsure where to start. Micro Entity Accounts can take the uncertainty out of the process: we review which accounting periods are outstanding, prepare the statutory accounts on the correct basis, and assist with delivering them to Companies House. Where Corporation Tax Returns or confirmation statements are also outstanding, we can point out what is separate and needs attention in its own right. The sooner the position is reviewed, the clearer the way forward tends to be — so it is worth getting in touch to talk through your company’s circumstances.

─── 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 a company's accounts are overdue in Lincs?

It simply means that the filing deadline for a particular accounting period has passed and the required accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. It is not the same as the company being struck off or dissolved. The obligation to file remains, and the accounts still need to be prepared and delivered on the correct basis for that period.

Do we still have to file the accounts once they are overdue?

Yes. An overdue filing is not cancelled by the passage of time. The accounts for each outstanding accounting period generally still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House where required. Depending on the circumstances, there may also be a late-filing penalty to deal with, but paying a penalty and filing the accounts are separate matters — dealing with one does not remove the requirement to deal with the other.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company can still have annual accounts filing obligations, and if it did not deliver the required accounts by the applicable deadline, those accounts are overdue. Dormant status does not by itself mean that accounts are exempt from filing, although the basis on which the accounts are prepared may differ from a trading company's.

What happens if accounts are delivered to Companies House after the deadline?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the amount can depend on how late the filing is. It is not the case that every late filing attracts the same outcome, and penalty eligibility and level are governed by the applicable rules. Filing overdue accounts does not automatically cancel or reduce any penalty that has been applied.

We have more than one accounting period outstanding. Can they be dealt with together?

Often yes, but they need to be treated as separate periods. Each outstanding set of accounts may need to be prepared and filed in its own right, and filing one period does not automatically resolve the others. We can review the position, confirm how many periods are outstanding and work through them, keeping you informed at each stage.

Can micro-entity accounts be used for an overdue filing?

Possibly, depending on the circumstances. Some companies that have overdue accounts do qualify for the micro-entity framework and may be able to prepare accounts under FRS 105, but eligibility is not automatic and cannot be assumed simply because a business is small. The company's legal structure, accounting period and qualifying criteria all need to be considered before the appropriate reporting framework is confirmed.

Is a CT600 Corporation Tax Return the same as the accounts filed at Companies House?

No. Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable. Delivering accounts to Companies House does not automatically satisfy any outstanding Corporation Tax obligations, and vice versa. If both are overdue, they are separate compliance matters that need to be addressed individually.

How can Micro Entity Accounts assist with Overdue Company Accounts Filing in Lincs?

We help directors review what is outstanding, prepare the statutory accounts for each period on the correct basis, and assist with delivering them to Companies House. We will also flag where confirmation statements, Corporation Tax Returns or other obligations need separate attention. Where an appeal against a penalty may be possible, eligibility depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules, and we can talk you through whether it is worth pursuing.
