 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 Mean for Directors in Somerset

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the statutory deadline that applies to the company. That deadline is not identical for every business: it depends on matters such as the company’s accounting reference date, whether it is filing a first set of accounts and its own reporting circumstances. When the relevant date passes and the required accounts have not been delivered, the accounts become overdue — and the filing obligation itself does not disappear because of the delay. For most directors, this is a paperwork problem that can be worked through by preparing the outstanding accounts and delivering them, which is why it is usually better to deal with it sooner rather than later. The longer accounts remain outstanding, the more the position may develop, and Companies House may impose a late-filing penalty in line with its published rules. The penalty and the duty to file are separate matters: paying a penalty does not settle the requirement to deliver the accounts. Where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period normally needs its own accounts, prepared for the correct period and filed separately. Dormant companies are not automatically exempt — a dormant company can have overdue accounts if the required accounts were not filed by the applicable deadline. The reporting framework also depends on eligibility, since some companies may qualify for the micro-entity framework and FRS 105 while others require small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts. Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable, and confirmation statements are filed separately, so outstanding Companies House accounts may be only part of the wider compliance picture.

─── 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 makes company accounts overdue?

Accounts become overdue when the statutory filing deadline for that accounting period has passed and the required accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. The deadline itself is not the same for every company — it depends on the company's accounting reference date and its circumstances, including whether it is filing a first set of accounts. Once that date has passed without delivery, the accounts are outstanding, whatever the reason for the delay.

Do overdue company accounts still need to be filed?

In most cases, yes. An overdue filing does not remove the underlying obligation, so the outstanding statutory accounts normally still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House where the company is required to file them. Where documents need the director's review and authorisation, that step still applies before anything is submitted. If you are unsure what remains outstanding, we can review your filing position and confirm which periods need attention.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

It can. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A company may be dormant for a period and still have an obligation to deliver annual accounts to Companies House, and if those accounts were not filed by the applicable deadline they are overdue in the same way as any other outstanding filing. Whether any exemption or simplified approach applies depends on the company's circumstances and should be checked rather than assumed.

What happens if the accounts are delivered after the filing deadline?

Companies House may impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the position may become more serious the longer the accounts remain outstanding. Penalties are not identical in every case — the outcome depends on the circumstances and on Companies House's published rules. Delivering the accounts is still the priority, because the filing obligation continues regardless of any penalty.

If a late-filing penalty is paid, does the company still have to file the accounts?

Yes. Paying a penalty does not replace the requirement to deliver the outstanding accounts, and it does not change the fact that the filing was late. The two matters are handled separately. Where a penalty has been issued, there may be an appeal route in certain circumstances, but eligibility depends on the applicable Companies House rules and the specific facts — we can talk you through what may be available in your situation.

What if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Where several periods are outstanding, each one generally needs its own set of accounts, prepared for the correct period and filed separately. Filing one set does not automatically clear the others. We would usually start by establishing exactly what Companies House shows as outstanding, then work through the periods in sequence. To prepare them we typically need bookkeeping records, bank statements, invoices and expense records, details of assets and liabilities, any previous accounts and current company information, although the exact records required depend on the company and the periods involved.

Can micro-entity accounts be used to bring an overdue filing up to date?

Possibly, but not automatically. Some companies with outstanding accounts qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework and FRS 105, the financial reporting standard applicable to qualifying entities using that framework. Others need small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts. Eligibility depends on the company's legal structure, accounting period and circumstances, so the correct basis is confirmed before the accounts are prepared.

How can Micro Entity Accounts help with Overdue Company Accounts Filing in Somerset?

We start by reviewing what Companies House, and where relevant HMRC, currently shows as outstanding, then confirm which accounting periods need accounts and what information is required for each. From there we prepare the statutory accounts, explain them to you and assist with delivery to Companies House once you have reviewed and authorised the documents. We can also set out how related matters sit alongside the accounts — a CT600 Corporation Tax Return submitted to HMRC or a confirmation statement filed with Companies House are separate requirements and are not covered by filing the accounts alone. If your company has received a strike-off notice, or has already been dissolved, that may need separate advice, so it helps to mention it at the outset.
