 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 Matters

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline, which is calculated from the company’s accounting reference period and its individual circumstances. Deadlines are not identical for every company, so there is no single date that applies across the board. When the relevant deadline passes and the required accounts have not been delivered, those accounts become overdue. That can happen whether the company has been actively trading, has had a quiet year, or has been dormant — a lack of activity does not by itself remove an accounts filing obligation, and whether a company has become overdue depends on the deadline that applied and what has actually been delivered to Companies House. Once accounts are overdue, the filing obligation remains. The outstanding statutory accounts still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House where required, and Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts arrive after the deadline. Paying a penalty and filing the accounts are separate matters, so settling a penalty does not remove the need to file. Where the delay continues, the position can become more serious: Companies House may take action against companies that fail to meet their filing obligations, and persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of compulsory strike-off action, although that outcome is not automatic. For directors in Ulverston, working through Overdue Company Accounts Filing is usually easier once the outstanding periods and any other missed filings are clearly identified. Where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period may need to be addressed separately, and the appropriate reporting framework — micro-entity accounts under FRS 105, small-company accounts or another applicable form — depends on the company’s size, legal structure and eligibility.

─── 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?

Company accounts generally must be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline, which depends on the company's accounting reference period and its circumstances. When that deadline passes without the accounts being delivered, they are treated as overdue. The underlying filing obligation does not disappear, and Companies House may apply a late-filing penalty in line with its rules.

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

Yes, where a filing obligation applies. Accounts becoming overdue does not remove the requirement to prepare and deliver them to Companies House. The outstanding accounts still need to be brought up to date, and we can assist with preparing and filing the required documents so the company's position is corrected.

Can a dormant company in Ulverston have overdue accounts?

Dormancy and overdue 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, those accounts are overdue. Dormant status does not automatically exempt a company from filing annual accounts, although exactly what needs to be filed depends on the company's circumstances.

Will Companies House impose a late-filing penalty for overdue accounts?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. Whether a penalty applies, and how it is assessed, depends on factors such as how late the accounts are and the company's filing history, so not every case is treated in the same way. Where an appeal may be possible, eligibility depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

If a late-filing penalty is paid, does that cancel the requirement to file?

No. The penalty and the filing requirement are separate matters. Paying a penalty does not remove or cancel the obligation to prepare and deliver the outstanding accounts to Companies House. The accounts still need to be filed, and any penalty that has been applied is dealt with as a distinct issue.

What happens if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Each outstanding accounting period generally needs to be addressed in its own right, so several sets of accounts may need to be prepared and filed. Filing one period does not automatically resolve the others. We can review the company's filing history with you and set out exactly what remains outstanding before any work begins.

Are CT600 Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements handled alongside company accounts?

They are separate compliance matters. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while a CT600 Corporation Tax Return is submitted to HMRC where applicable. A confirmation statement is also a separate Companies House filing that keeps the company's registered information up to date. Delivering overdue accounts does not automatically satisfy outstanding Corporation Tax obligations or replace a confirmation statement, so it is worth checking the full picture.

Can an overdue filing be prepared as micro-entity accounts, and how can Micro Entity Accounts assist?

Some companies may qualify to prepare micro-entity accounts under FRS 105, the financial reporting standard applicable to qualifying entities using the micro-entity framework, while others may need small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts. Eligibility depends on the company's size, legal structure and circumstances, so this is confirmed before anything is prepared. Micro Entity Accounts can review what is outstanding, prepare the accounts from your records, talk you through them for review and authorisation, and support delivery to Companies House, including where several periods of Overdue Company Accounts Filing need attention.
