 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 Quickly

Company accounts become overdue when the statutory filing deadline for a particular accounting period has passed and the required accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. The applicable deadline depends on factors such as the company’s accounting reference period and its own circumstances, so it is worth checking the due dates and filing history recorded on the Companies House register rather than assuming a date. Directors in St Annes-on-sea who find that a set of accounts is outstanding should treat it as a priority, because the obligation to prepare and file does not disappear once a deadline has passed. Where accounts remain undelivered, Companies House can impose late-filing penalties under its published rules, and these penalties are a separate matter from the requirement to file the accounts themselves. An overdue filing also does not mean that a company’s status has been suspended, dissolved or removed from the register — it simply means the deadline has passed and the accounts are still outstanding. Even so, the longer a period is left unaddressed, the more the position can complicate: further accounting periods may fall due, older records can become harder to reconstruct, and Companies House may take action in line with its compliance procedures where filing obligations are repeatedly missed. The right starting point is to establish exactly which periods are outstanding, confirm the reporting framework that applies to each one, gather the supporting records and then prepare and deliver the accounts to Companies House as required. Where Corporation Tax, confirmation statements or other filings are also outstanding, those generally need to be dealt with separately.

─── 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.

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?

Accounts are overdue when the statutory filing deadline for an accounting period has passed and the required accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. It is a timing and delivery issue rather than a change in the company's legal status. The deadline itself depends on matters such as the company's accounting reference period and its circumstances, so the position should be checked against the company's own filing record. Once accounts are overdue, the obligation to prepare and file them continues.

Do we still have to file accounts that are already overdue?

Yes. Missing the deadline does not remove the requirement to prepare and deliver the accounts to Companies House where they are due, and an outstanding period normally needs to be completed rather than left open. Depending on the circumstances, a late-filing penalty may also apply, but paying a penalty is not a substitute for filing. We can help you identify what remains outstanding and prepare the accounts for delivery.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

It can. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues: a dormant company may still have annual accounts filing obligations at Companies House, and those obligations apply whether or not the company traded during the period. If the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, they can become overdue in the same way as any other company's accounts. The exact filing position depends on the company's circumstances and its Companies House record.

What happens if company accounts are filed late?

Where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty under its published rules. The penalty position depends on the company's circumstances and how late the accounts are, and it is not the same for every filing. Filing the accounts and dealing with any penalty are separate matters — resolving one does not automatically resolve the other. Where you believe a penalty should not apply, eligibility for an appeal depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

If a late-filing penalty is paid, do we still need to file the accounts?

Yes. Paying a penalty does not remove the underlying requirement to prepare and deliver the outstanding accounts to Companies House. The penalty addresses the late delivery; the filing obligation still has to be met. Equally, filing the accounts does not automatically cancel or reduce a penalty that has already been issued. Both matters may need to be handled, depending on the circumstances.

What happens if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Where several accounting periods are behind, each outstanding period may need to be prepared and filed separately, and each has its own filing deadline and penalty position. Completing one set of accounts does not automatically clear the others. We normally start by reviewing which periods remain open, what records exist for each, and whether the company still qualifies for the same reporting framework it used previously. The work involved depends on the company's circumstances and the quality of the available records.

Can overdue accounts be prepared as micro-entity accounts?

Some companies may qualify for the micro-entity framework and FRS 105, the financial reporting standard that applies to qualifying entities using that framework — but not every company does, and eligibility depends on factors such as the company's size, legal structure, accounting period and circumstances. A small company may instead have originally been required to prepare small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts. We can review which framework applies before the overdue accounts are prepared.

Does filing overdue accounts with Companies House also settle Corporation Tax?

No. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as the CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable, so these are separate compliance matters. Filing outstanding accounts with Companies House does not automatically satisfy an overdue Corporation Tax obligation, and the reverse is also true. A confirmation statement is separate again. If more than one obligation is behind, the appropriate order of work depends on the company's circumstances.
