 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 Overdue Company Accounts Actually Mean for Your Company

Company accounts become overdue when the relevant statutory deadline for delivering them to Companies House has passed and the required accounts are still outstanding. The deadline itself is not the same for every company; it depends on factors such as the company’s accounting reference period, whether it is newly incorporated, whether it has changed its accounting reference date, and whether any prior filings or extensions apply. That is why it is worth checking the specific position for your company rather than assuming a fixed date applies. Once accounts are overdue, the filing obligation does not disappear. The accounts still need to be prepared and delivered, and Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are submitted after the applicable deadline. Any penalty is a separate matter from the requirement to file, so paying a penalty does not remove the need to bring the accounts up to date. If several accounting periods are outstanding, each period generally has to be addressed in its own right, which usually means preparing more than one set of accounts. Leaving matters unresolved for longer can allow the consequences to build, so it is generally better to establish exactly what is outstanding and begin working through it. If your company has received a strike-off notice or has already been dissolved, that situation may need separate restoration or legal advice rather than being treated as a routine overdue filing. Where you are unsure what has been filed and what remains outstanding, we can review your circumstances and confirm what still needs to be prepared and submitted.

─── 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 counts as overdue company accounts?

Accounts are overdue once the applicable statutory deadline has passed and the required accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. The deadline varies depending on the company's accounting reference period and its individual circumstances, so the first step is usually to check the company's Companies House record and confirm which accounting periods remain outstanding. An overdue filing simply means the deadline has passed and the accounts are still due — it does not automatically mean anything has happened to the company.

Do we still have to file the accounts if the deadline has already gone?

Yes. The filing obligation continues after the deadline has passed, and the accounts still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House where required. Submitting them late does not cancel any late-filing penalty that may apply, because the penalty and the filing requirement are separate matters. Our role is to help you prepare accurate accounts for each outstanding period and support you through the filing process.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company can still have Companies House filing obligations, and if it did not deliver the required accounts by the applicable deadline, those accounts can be overdue even though no trading took place. Dormancy does not by itself remove the requirement to file, although the form of accounts a dormant company needs to prepare may differ from a trading company's. We can look at your company's position and confirm what is required.

What is the difference between a late-filing penalty and the filing itself?

They are two distinct matters. Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the amount and application of any penalty depend on the circumstances and the relevant rules. Paying a penalty does not remove the obligation to file the outstanding accounts, and filing the accounts does not automatically cancel a penalty that has already been applied. Where a company believes a penalty should not apply, eligibility for an appeal depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

We have more than one accounting period outstanding — can they be dealt with together?

Where several periods are outstanding, each one generally has to be prepared and filed separately, so the work involved is greater than for a single set of accounts. In many cases the earlier period has to be completed first because later accounts build on it. The information needed will depend on the periods being prepared and the records your company holds, but it often includes bookkeeping records, bank statements, invoices, expense records, previous accounts and company details. We can map out what is outstanding and work through the periods in sequence.

Can we file micro-entity accounts if our overdue accounts relate to an earlier period?

Some companies may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, and FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard that applies to qualifying entities using that framework. However, not every company with overdue accounts qualifies as a micro-entity, and eligibility depends on the company's legal structure, size, accounting period and circumstances. The framework that applied to the period being prepared is what matters, so it is worth confirming this before preparation begins rather than assuming a small company will qualify.

Are Corporation Tax Returns affected by overdue Companies House accounts?

They are separate compliance matters. 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 HMRC obligations, and a company may have overdue Corporation Tax filings as well as overdue accounts. Where that is the case, it is sensible to address both areas, and we can review your outstanding filing requirements so nothing is overlooked.

Our company has received a strike-off notice — can we still file the accounts?

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 action, but an overdue filing does not automatically mean a company will be dissolved. If your company has received a strike-off notice, or has already been dissolved, the situation may require separate action such as restoration or legal advice rather than being treated as an ordinary overdue accounts filing. We would suggest getting in touch so we can review where things stand and explain the options.
