 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 It Means When Company Accounts Become Overdue

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 its own circumstances. When that deadline passes without the required accounts being delivered, the accounts become overdue — the filing obligation has not disappeared, it has simply fallen behind. Directors in Thornliebank sometimes assume that nothing needs to be done because the company has not traded, has received no income or has been quiet for a while, but that is not how the obligation works. Where accounts are outstanding, they still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House where required, and Companies House may impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the deadline. The practical position varies from one company to another: it can depend on how many accounting periods are outstanding, whether the company is trading or dormant, whether any penalty has already been issued, and whether other obligations such as a confirmation statement or a CT600 Corporation Tax Return also need attention. Dealing with Overdue Company Accounts Filing in Thornliebank sooner rather than later usually makes the situation easier to manage, and the longer accounts remain outstanding, the more involved the process can become. The correct reporting framework also needs to be confirmed first — a company may originally have been required to prepare micro-entity accounts under FRS 105, small-company accounts or another form of statutory accounts, depending on its size, structure and eligibility at the time.

─── 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 when company accounts are overdue?

Accounts become overdue when the relevant statutory filing deadline passes and the required accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. It means the filing has fallen behind — it does not mean the obligation has gone away. Unless a company is genuinely exempt from filing, the outstanding accounts still need to be prepared and delivered, and the position can become more complicated the longer they remain outstanding. The deadline itself depends on the company's accounting reference period and circumstances, so the starting point is usually to check exactly what Companies House has on record.

Can a dormant company have overdue company accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company can still be required to deliver accounts to Companies House, so if the applicable deadline passed without the accounts being filed, those accounts are overdue in the same way as any other company's. Dormant status does not automatically remove the filing requirement, and whether a company qualifies for any exemption depends on its circumstances and the reporting framework it uses. We can review the position and confirm what is still needed.

What happens if company accounts are filed late with Companies House?

Where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, Companies House may impose a late-filing penalty. The penalty is not optional, and the amount can depend on how late the accounts are and the company's circumstances, so it is not the same in every case. Filing the outstanding accounts does not automatically cancel a penalty that has already been issued, and paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to file. Where a penalty has been issued, the filing obligation itself and any penalty matter are dealt with as separate issues.

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

Yes. Paying a late-filing penalty does not satisfy the underlying filing obligation. The requirement to prepare and deliver the outstanding accounts to Companies House remains until the accounts have actually been filed, and the penalty is a separate consequence of the delay. If your company has received a penalty notice, the sensible approach is to establish exactly which accounting periods are outstanding and deal with the accounts themselves rather than treating the penalty payment as the end of the matter.

What happens if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Where several accounting periods are outstanding, each one may need to be addressed separately, which usually means preparing and filing more than one set of accounts. Filing a single period does not automatically resolve the others. The work involved depends on the records available, the length of the delay and the reporting framework that applied in each period, so we would normally review the full history of filings before setting out what needs to be done. Any associated Corporation Tax matters may also need to be looked at separately.

Are Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements part of the accounts filing?

No, these are separate compliance matters. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as the CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable. A confirmation statement is also submitted to Companies House, but it is a distinct filing and is not replaced by filing overdue accounts. Getting the accounts up to date does not automatically satisfy HMRC obligations or the confirmation statement requirement, so it is worth checking each of these separately — and we can help you identify what remains outstanding.

Can overdue accounts be prepared under the micro-entity framework?

It depends on the company. Some companies with outstanding accounts qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, and where FRS 105 applies, the accounts are prepared on that basis. However, not every company with overdue accounts is a micro-entity, and eligibility depends on factors such as the company's size, structure and accounting period. In some cases the company may have originally been required to prepare small-company accounts or another form of statutory accounts instead. We would confirm the appropriate framework before any accounts are prepared.

How can Micro Entity Accounts help with overdue company accounts in Thornliebank?

We assist directors and companies in Thornliebank with Overdue Company Accounts Filing by establishing what has been filed, what remains outstanding and which accounting periods need attention. From there we prepare the statutory accounts, review them with you before submission, and assist with delivery to Companies House where required. We can also flag related matters — such as confirmation statements, dormant company filings or Corporation Tax correspondence — that may need to be handled separately, depending on the circumstances, so you have a clear view of what is left to do.
