He helped me sort out a very complicated backlog of accounts and prepared my overdue tax returns with professionalism and attention to detail. Throughout the process, he was incredibly patient, took the time to answer all of my questions, and explained everything clearly. He guided me through each step and helped rectify issues that had built up over time, making what felt like an overwhelming situation much more manageable.

 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 Now

Company accounts are generally treated as overdue once the statutory filing deadline that applies to the company has passed without the required accounts being delivered to Companies House. That deadline is not the same for every company — it depends on factors such as the company’s accounting reference period, whether a first set of accounts is being filed and the company’s particular circumstances — so the sensible starting point is to check precisely which accounting periods remain outstanding on the Companies House record. Accounts rarely become overdue for dramatic reasons: bookkeeping has fallen behind, invoices or bank statements are missing, the person who kept the records has changed, or there has been an assumption that a dormant or non-trading company has nothing to file. In most cases the obligation does not disappear simply because time has passed, and the outstanding accounts still need to be prepared and delivered where required. Directors in West Malling who address the position early tend to have more options available to them, as the longer accounts remain outstanding, the more serious the consequences may become, and late-filing penalties may apply where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. Filing the accounts does not automatically cancel a penalty or resolve other outstanding obligations, such as confirmation statements or Corporation Tax matters, which may need to be dealt with separately. Micro Entity Accounts can review your circumstances, confirm which periods are outstanding and prepare the accounts for filing.

─── 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 if my company accounts are overdue?

It means the statutory filing deadline that applies to your company has passed and the required accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. The exact deadline depends on factors such as the company's accounting reference period, whether it is a first set of accounts and the company's circumstances. Being overdue does not remove the obligation — the outstanding accounts still need to be prepared and filed. A good first step for directors in West Malling is to check the company's filing history so you know exactly which periods remain outstanding.

Why do company accounts become overdue?

The reasons are usually practical rather than deliberate. Bookkeeping may have fallen behind, bank statements or invoices may be missing, the person who previously handled the records may have changed, or there may have been an assumption that a dormant or non-trading company had nothing to file. Whatever the cause, the filing obligation generally remains in place until the accounts are delivered, and the appropriate response depends on the company's circumstances.

Do I still need to file accounts that are already overdue?

Yes. Accounts that are overdue must still be prepared and delivered to Companies House where required. The fact that the deadline has passed does not cancel the requirement, and where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period may need to be addressed separately with its own set of accounts.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. 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 can be overdue even though the company did not trade. Dormant accounts may be simpler to prepare in many cases, but the filing obligation generally still applies unless a specific exemption is available in the company's circumstances.

What happens if accounts are filed late, and can Companies House impose a penalty?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. Whether a penalty applies, and how it is calculated, depends on how late the accounts are and the company's filing history, so it is not the same for every company. Paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to file the outstanding accounts — the penalty and the filing obligation are separate matters. If a director believes a penalty has been issued incorrectly, an appeal may be possible depending on the circumstances and the relevant Companies House rules.

What happens if several accounting periods are outstanding?

Where a company has more than one outstanding period, several sets of accounts may need to be prepared and filed. Filing one period does not automatically resolve the others, so it is usually best to work through them in order and confirm the position for each period on the Companies House record. The work involved depends on the records available and the circumstances of each period.

Can micro-entity accounts be used for an overdue filing?

Some companies may qualify for the micro-entity framework, under which accounts are prepared in line with FRS 105. Not every company qualifies, however — eligibility depends on the company's size, legal structure, accounting period and other circumstances. Where a company does qualify, the overdue accounts may be prepared under that framework; where it does not, small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts may be required instead. We can review eligibility before any preparation begins.

Are CT600 Corporation Tax Returns separate from the accounts filed with Companies House?

Yes, they are separate compliance matters. Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as the CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable. Submitting overdue accounts to Companies House does not automatically satisfy any outstanding Corporation Tax obligations, and a company may need to deal with both separately, along with its confirmation statement and other Companies House records.
