 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 Are and Why They Need Sorting

Company accounts become overdue when a company has passed the applicable statutory filing deadline without delivering its accounts to Companies House. The exact deadline is not the same for every company; it generally depends on factors such as the company’s accounting reference period, whether it is a first set of accounts, and its individual circumstances. Once that date has passed and the accounts remain outstanding, the filing obligation does not disappear, and the company’s position on the public register will show the accounts as late. In practice, most directors we speak to in Tiverton have not ignored their accounts deliberately. Often the records are incomplete, the year-end passed during a quiet trading spell, or the company had no accountant in place at the time. Whatever the reason, preparing and filing the outstanding statutory accounts is usually the quickest way to move things forward. Companies House has a statutory role in receiving and registering accounts, but it does not prepare them, and it does not provide professional or regulatory approval of accounts prepared by an accountant. The accounts themselves have to be prepared in line with the reporting framework that applies to the company — which may be micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another form of statutory accounts, depending on the company’s size, legal structure and accounting period. Where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period generally needs to be dealt with separately. It is also worth remembering that company accounts are not the only filing a limited company may have outstanding. A confirmation statement is a separate Companies House requirement, and Corporation Tax Returns such as the CT600 are submitted to HMRC rather than Companies House, so a company with overdue accounts may also have unrelated HMRC matters to resolve. Because the consequences and requirements vary so much from one company to another — and because the longer accounts remain outstanding, the more serious the position can become — it is usually sensible to have your circumstances reviewed rather than assume the issue will resolve itself.

─── 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 for company accounts to be overdue?

It means the filing deadline that applied to that set of accounts has passed, and the accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. The deadline itself depends on the company's accounting reference period and its particular circumstances, so it is not identical for every company. Being overdue is simply a matter of the required accounts remaining outstanding after the applicable date.

Do we still need to file company accounts that are already overdue?

Yes, in most cases the obligation to prepare and deliver the accounts remains until they have actually been filed, subject to the relevant requirements. An overdue filing does not remove the requirement; it means the filing is late. If the company also has outstanding Corporation Tax Returns or a confirmation statement, those are separate compliance matters that may need to be addressed as well.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and late filing are separate issues. A dormant company can still have Companies House filing obligations, and if the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, the accounts are overdue regardless of the fact that the company has not been trading. Dormant status does not automatically exempt a company from filing annual accounts.

What happens if company accounts are filed after the deadline?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the amount can vary depending on how late the filing is and the type of company involved, so not every case is treated the same. Separately, persistent failure to meet filing obligations can increase the risk of Companies House taking further action against the company. Filing the outstanding accounts does not automatically cancel or reduce any penalty that has already been applied — the penalty and the filing requirement are two distinct matters.

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

No. Paying a penalty does not satisfy the underlying filing obligation, and it does not mean the accounts no longer need to be delivered to Companies House. A company may also want to consider whether an appeal against a penalty is appropriate in its circumstances, although eligibility for an appeal depends on the applicable Companies House rules and the reasons for the late filing. An accountant cannot automatically reduce, remove or cancel a penalty.

What if several accounting periods are outstanding?

Where a company has more than one outstanding period, each set of accounts generally needs to be prepared and filed separately, so the work involved can be greater than a single year's filing. We usually review all outstanding periods together first, then work through them in a sensible order. It is important to be clear that filing one period does not automatically resolve the others, and no specific completion timeframe should be assumed in advance.

Could micro-entity accounts be used to clear overdue filings?

Some companies do qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, and where a company qualifies, micro-entity accounts and the FRS 105 standard may be relevant to preparing the outstanding accounts. However, eligibility depends on the company's size, legal structure and accounting period, and not every small company qualifies. We confirm the appropriate reporting framework for your circumstances before any accounts are prepared.

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

We can review which periods are outstanding, identify what information is needed to prepare each set of accounts, and then prepare the statutory accounts and assist with filing them at Companies House once you have reviewed and authorised the final figures. Alongside that, we can point out any separate matters you may need to deal with, such as a confirmation statement or HMRC Corporation Tax obligations. Our accountants are fully qualified and regulated by ICAEW, ACCA and AAT.
