 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 It Means When Company Accounts Become Overdue

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline, which is normally calculated from the company’s accounting reference date and can vary depending on whether it is a first set of accounts or a later period. When that deadline passes and the required accounts have not yet been delivered, those accounts are treated as overdue, and the filing obligation itself does not disappear simply because time has passed. Directors of companies in Norwell may find that accounts have slipped for a number of reasons — a busy trading period, a change of accountant, incomplete bookkeeping records, or an assumption that nothing needs to be filed because the company was quiet or not trading. In practice, Companies House records continue to show the position as outstanding until the accounts are prepared and filed, and the longer the position remains unresolved, the more involved the catch-up work can become, particularly where several accounting periods are affected. The appropriate form of accounts depends on the company’s legal structure, accounting period, size and reporting framework, so a business that originally expected to file micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts will need that position confirmed before preparation begins. Dealing with the matter early is usually more straightforward than leaving it, and a review of what is outstanding is the sensible first step.

─── 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 for company accounts to be overdue in Norwell?

Accounts become overdue when the statutory filing deadline for a set of company accounts has passed and those accounts have still not been delivered to Companies House. It is a statement about the filing position rather than about the company's general standing — the company remains on the register, but the accounts are shown as outstanding until they are prepared and filed. The exact deadline depends on the company's accounting reference period and individual circumstances, so it is worth checking the company's Companies House record to see precisely which periods are affected.

Do we still have to file the accounts if the company has not traded?

In most cases, yes. A company that has not traded may still have an annual accounts filing obligation, and a dormant company can have overdue accounts if the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate matters, and treating a company as exempt simply because there was no trading activity is a common but risky assumption. If you are unsure whether your company is genuinely dormant for filing purposes, we can review the position and confirm what needs to be submitted.

Does Companies House charge a penalty when accounts are filed late?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the level of that penalty generally reflects how late the accounts are rather than being the same in every case. A penalty does not replace the filing requirement, and paying one does not remove the need to prepare and deliver the accounts. Where a penalty has been issued, whether an appeal is possible depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules, and no accountant can promise that a penalty will be reduced, cancelled or refunded.

We have more than one year of accounts outstanding — how is that handled?

Each outstanding accounting period normally needs to be addressed in its own right, which means several sets of accounts may need to be prepared and filed rather than one combined submission. The order in which they are dealt with can matter, particularly if a later period depends on figures carried forward from an earlier one. We start by establishing exactly which periods are outstanding and what information is available for each, then work through them in a sensible sequence, keeping you updated as the position improves.

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

Some companies may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, and where a company qualifies, that framework may be available for accounts that are filed late as well as on time. Eligibility is not automatic and depends on factors such as the company's size, turnover, balance sheet total, number of employees and accounting period, so the position needs to be confirmed before preparation begins. FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard that applies to qualifying entities using the micro-entity framework, and we will confirm whether it is appropriate for your company.

Are Companies House accounts and Corporation Tax filing the same thing?

No. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as the CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable. Filing overdue accounts with Companies House does not automatically satisfy any outstanding Corporation Tax obligations, and a company can find itself with both matters to resolve at the same time. Where that is the case, we can help you understand the separate steps involved and how they fit together, subject to the relevant requirements.

Is a confirmation statement dealt with at the same time as overdue accounts?

A confirmation statement is a separate filing from annual accounts, and filing overdue accounts does not replace it. A company may still need to submit its confirmation statement, keep its registered office, director and shareholder details up to date, and check that no other filings are outstanding. Once the accounts position is clear, it is usually worth reviewing the wider Companies House record so that everything required is brought up to date together.

What happens if the company has received a warning from Companies House?

Where a company has received a warning or a strike-off notice, the matter may go beyond a routine overdue accounts filing and can call for separate action or legal advice, depending on the stage the process has reached. Companies House may take action against companies that fail to meet their filing obligations, and persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of compulsory strike-off, but this does not happen automatically in every case. If your company has already been dissolved, restoration is a separate process. We can review your circumstances and explain what can realistically be done.
