 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

When Annual Accounts Pass Their Deadline: What Overdue Company Accounts Really Mean

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline, which is set by reference to the company’s accounting reference period and other circumstances such as whether it is a first set of accounts. When that date passes and the required accounts have not been delivered, those accounts become overdue — the position is about the missed filing deadline, not about whether the company has traded or made a profit. It is worth dealing with outstanding accounts promptly, because an overdue filing stays on the Companies House record, may attract a late-filing penalty, and can become more difficult to resolve the longer it is left. Directors of companies in Staines-upon Thames who discover that a filing has been missed should also check whether anything else is outstanding, since a confirmation statement, Corporation Tax obligations and HMRC correspondence are separate matters that may need attention in their own right. The accounts that have to be prepared depend on the company’s legal structure, its accounting period, its size and the reporting framework that applies, so a dormant company, a micro-entity and a larger small company will not necessarily be in the same position. We can review your circumstances, confirm which periods are outstanding and explain what is needed to bring the company’s filing position back up to date.

─── 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 makes company accounts overdue?

Company accounts become overdue when the statutory filing deadline passes without the accounts being delivered to Companies House. That deadline is not the same for every company — it is determined by reference to the company's accounting reference period and other circumstances, such as whether the accounts are the first set the company has prepared. Once the applicable deadline has passed and the accounts remain outstanding, they are treated as overdue, regardless of whether the company has been trading during the period.

If the deadline has already passed, do the accounts still have to be filed?

Yes. Where a company is required to prepare and file annual accounts, that obligation does not disappear because the deadline has been missed. The accounts should still be prepared and delivered to Companies House in the applicable form. Depending on the circumstances, the company may also need to deal separately with an outstanding confirmation statement, Corporation Tax matters with HMRC, or other filings that have been missed, as these are distinct compliance obligations.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and late filing are separate issues. A dormant company may still have an annual accounts filing obligation with Companies House, and if the relevant deadline passed without those accounts being delivered, the accounts are overdue. Dormant status does not by itself remove the requirement to file, so it is worth checking the Companies House record rather than assuming nothing needs to be submitted.

What happens when accounts are filed late with Companies House?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. Penalties are not identical for every company or every period — the position depends on factors such as how late the filing is and the type of company involved. Persistent non-compliance can also increase the risk of further action being taken against a company, including compulsory strike-off action, although this is not automatic. If the company has already received a strike-off notice, or has been dissolved, the matter may need separate restoration or legal advice rather than being treated as a routine overdue filing.

If we pay a late-filing penalty, does that remove the need to file the accounts?

No. The penalty and the filing obligation are separate matters. Paying a penalty does not satisfy the requirement to prepare and deliver the outstanding accounts, and the accounts still need to be filed. In some situations an appeal against a penalty may be possible, but whether an appeal is available depends on the applicable Companies House rules and the specific circumstances of the case.

More than one accounting period is outstanding — how is that dealt with?

Each outstanding accounting period generally has its own set of accounts, and each period normally needs to be addressed separately. We would review the Companies House record and any HMRC position to establish exactly which periods are outstanding, then work through them in turn using the accounting records and information available for each one. Filing a single period does not resolve the others, so the sequence and the information required for each period are usually confirmed at the outset.

Can micro-entity accounts be used if the company qualifies?

Some companies do qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, and where they qualify, FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard that applies to micro-entity accounts. Eligibility depends on the company's size and meeting the relevant criteria for the period in question, and it has to be considered period by period. Not every small company qualifies, and it should not be assumed that overdue accounts are micro-entity accounts simply because the business is small — the applicable framework may be micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another form of statutory accounts.

How can Micro Entity Accounts help with overdue company accounts in Staines-upon Thames?

We can review your company's filing position, identify which accounting periods are outstanding and confirm what information is needed to prepare each set of accounts. From there we prepare the overdue statutory accounts for your review and authorisation, and assist with delivery to Companies House where required, while flagging any separate matters such as CT600 Corporation Tax Returns for HMRC or confirmation statements that also need attention. The approach is practical and clearly explained, with straightforward pricing agreed before work begins.
