 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 are generally treated as overdue once the applicable statutory filing deadline has passed and the required accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. That deadline is not the same for every company — it can depend on the company’s accounting reference period, whether it is a first set of accounts, and other circumstances set out in the relevant rules, so the position needs to be checked rather than assumed. Once accounts are outstanding, the obligation to prepare and file them does not disappear, and leaving them unaddressed may mean the matter becomes more involved to resolve. There may also be a late-filing penalty, and Companies House may take action where a company repeatedly fails to meet its filing obligations. An overdue filing does not, on its own, change a company’s status on the register, and paying any penalty does not remove the requirement to file the accounts. Directors in Saltcoats dealing with Overdue Company Accounts Filing should also consider whether confirmation statements, Corporation Tax Returns or other compliance matters are outstanding, because these are separate obligations dealt with in different ways.

─── 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?

It means the applicable filing deadline has passed and the required accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. The deadline varies depending on the company's accounting reference period and its particular circumstances, so the first step is usually to confirm exactly which period or periods remain outstanding and what has already been filed. Being overdue is a filing position rather than a change to the company's status, but it does need to be addressed.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate matters. A dormant company may still have an annual accounts filing obligation with Companies House, and if the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, they can be overdue even though the company did not trade. Dormant company accounts are not automatically exempt, and the position depends on the company's circumstances and the relevant requirements.

What happens if company accounts are filed after the deadline?

Where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, Companies House may impose a late-filing penalty, and the amount can depend on how late the accounts are and the company's filing history. The requirement to file the accounts remains regardless. The longer accounts stay outstanding, the more involved the position can become, so it is usually better to deal with them rather than wait.

If we pay the late-filing penalty, do we still have to file the accounts?

Yes. A penalty and the filing obligation are separate matters. Paying any penalty does not remove or cancel the requirement to prepare and deliver the outstanding accounts to Companies House. An accountant cannot automatically reduce, cancel or appeal a penalty either — whether an appeal is possible depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

What if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Where several periods are outstanding, each one may need to be prepared and filed separately, which usually means more than one set of accounts. The work involved depends on the number of periods, the records available and the reporting framework that applies to each period. Filing one set of accounts does not automatically resolve the others.

Can we still file overdue accounts after receiving a Companies House warning or strike-off notice?

In some cases accounts can still be prepared and delivered, but the position needs to be reviewed carefully. Persistent failure to meet filing obligations can increase the risk of compulsory strike-off action, and filing overdue accounts does not guarantee that such action will be stopped or reversed. If a company has already been dissolved or a strike-off notice has been issued, the matter may require separate restoration steps or legal advice rather than a straightforward overdue filing.

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

Where the company qualifies under the micro-entity framework, micro-entity accounts may be appropriate, often prepared under FRS 105, which is the financial reporting standard applicable to qualifying entities using that framework. Not every small company qualifies, and eligibility depends on the company's legal structure, accounting period and circumstances. A company that is now overdue may originally have been required to prepare micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts, so the framework should be confirmed before preparation begins.

Are CT600 Corporation Tax Returns separate from the accounts filed at Companies House?

Yes. 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 at Companies House does not automatically satisfy any outstanding HMRC obligations, and a confirmation statement is separate again and may still need to be submitted. Where more than one matter is outstanding, each may need to be dealt with on its own terms.
