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 Is Worth Acting Early

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the statutory deadline that applies to the company’s accounting reference period. When that date passes and the required accounts have not been delivered, the accounts become overdue. The deadline is not identical for every company — it can depend on factors such as the accounting reference period, whether it is the company’s first set of accounts and the company’s particular circumstances — and being overdue simply means the deadline has passed with accounts still outstanding. It does not follow that the company’s status on the Companies House register has changed. Even a dormant or non-trading company can have overdue accounts, because dormancy and the annual accounts filing obligation are separate matters. Overdue accounts also tend not to resolve themselves: the longer they remain outstanding, the more complicated the position can become, and Companies House may impose late-filing penalties where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. Persistent failure to meet filing obligations can also increase the risk of further action, so it is usually better to establish exactly what is outstanding and deal with it methodically. Companies House does not prepare or approve accounts on a company’s behalf — the accounts must be prepared and delivered by or on behalf of the company — and where several accounting periods are outstanding, each period may need to be addressed separately. The documents and records required will depend on the company’s circumstances and the period being prepared, and Micro Entity Accounts can review your position and assist with bringing your overdue company accounts filing in Newington 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.

What does it mean when company accounts are overdue?

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the statutory deadline that applies to the company's accounting reference period. Once that date passes and the required accounts have not been delivered, the accounts are overdue. The deadline is not the same for every company — it can depend on factors such as the accounting reference period, whether it is the company's first set of accounts and its particular circumstances. Being overdue is simply a question of the deadline having passed with accounts still outstanding, and it does not by itself mean the company's status on the register has changed.

Can dormant companies have overdue company accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company may still be required to prepare and deliver annual accounts to Companies House, and if that has not happened by the applicable deadline, the accounts can be overdue. A company is not automatically exempt from filing simply because it has not traded or has no income, and dormant accounts still need to be prepared in line with the applicable requirements and delivered where required.

What happens if overdue accounts are filed after the deadline?

Where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, Companies House may impose a late-filing penalty. The level of any penalty depends on the circumstances, including how late the accounts are and the type of company, so it is not the same in every case. Beyond penalties, Companies House may take action against companies that do not meet their filing obligations, and persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of compulsory strike-off action. Filing outstanding accounts does not automatically prevent or reverse strike-off action, and if a strike-off notice has already been issued or the company has been dissolved, the situation may require separate advice, including on restoration.

If a late-filing penalty is paid, does that remove the requirement to file the accounts?

No. Paying a penalty and filing the outstanding accounts are separate matters. A penalty does not replace the obligation to prepare and deliver the required accounts to Companies House, and the accounts remain outstanding until they are actually filed. It is also worth noting that accountants cannot automatically reduce, remove or cancel a Companies House penalty; where an appeal is considered, eligibility depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

What happens if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Where a company has several outstanding accounting periods, each one generally needs to be addressed separately. That can mean preparing and filing more than one set of accounts, often in the correct sequence, and reviewing what records are available for each period. Filing one set of accounts does not automatically resolve the others, so it helps to have the full position reviewed before work begins so that nothing is missed.

Can micro-entity accounts be used for an overdue filing where the company qualifies?

Some companies may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, and where they do, micro-entity accounts prepared under FRS 105 may be appropriate for an overdue filing. Not every small company qualifies as a micro-entity, however, and eligibility depends on the company's legal structure, size, accounting period and circumstances. An overdue company may originally have been required to prepare micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts, so the correct framework should be confirmed before the accounts are prepared.

Are CT600 Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements separate from the accounts?

Yes. Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable. Delivering overdue accounts to Companies House does not automatically satisfy any outstanding Corporation Tax obligations. A confirmation statement is separate again — it is submitted to Companies House and does not replace annual accounts. Where a company has several outstanding compliance matters, they may each need to be dealt with separately.
