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. I'm very pleased with the service I've received and truly appreciate his support. If you need help with your accounts or taxes, I would highly recommend Imran.

 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 On

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline, which is worked out from the company’s accounting reference period and its filing history. Once that date has passed and the required accounts have not been delivered, those accounts are treated as overdue. This is a filing position rather than a change to the company’s legal status, and it applies whether or not the company has traded during the period. Directors of companies in West Wickham who find themselves in this position are usually best served by bringing the outstanding accounts up to date reasonably promptly, because the longer accounts stay outstanding, the more serious the consequences may become. Exactly what is needed depends on the circumstances — the accounting period in question, the size and nature of the company, the reporting framework that applies and whether more than one period is outstanding. A company that originally qualified to prepare micro-entity accounts may be able to file on that basis again where it continues to meet the eligibility conditions, while others may need small-company accounts or another form of statutory accounts. Where Companies House has already issued a late-filing penalty, that penalty is a separate matter from the requirement to file, and submitting the accounts does not automatically cancel it. Subject to the applicable requirements, we can review your position and prepare the outstanding accounts for submission.

─── 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 are overdue company accounts?

Company accounts become overdue when the applicable statutory filing deadline has passed and the required accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. The accounts remain outstanding until they are prepared, approved by the director and filed. Being overdue is a filing position rather than a change to the company's status, so it does not by itself mean the company has been removed from the register or that its legal existence has changed.

Why do company accounts become overdue?

There are several common reasons: the director was unaware of the deadline, records such as bank statements or invoices were incomplete, bookkeeping fell behind, or a previous accountant stopped acting and no replacement was appointed. In some cases a company simply stopped trading and assumed nothing needed to be filed. The accounts are still overdue regardless of the reason, so it is worth establishing which periods are outstanding and dealing with them in order.

Do overdue accounts still have to be filed?

Yes, in most cases. An overdue filing means the deadline has been missed, not that the obligation has disappeared. The outstanding accounts still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House where required. Companies House may take action against companies that do not meet their filing obligations, and persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of compulsory strike-off action, so addressing the position sooner is generally preferable — although filing does not guarantee that any strike-off process already under way will be stopped.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company that did not deliver its annual accounts by the applicable deadline can still have overdue accounts, and dormant status does not remove the Companies House filing obligation. Even where a company has not traded and has no income, accounts for the relevant period may still be required, although the content of those accounts depends on the company's circumstances.

What happens if company accounts are filed after the deadline?

Where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty. The size of any penalty depends on how late the accounts are and on the company's own circumstances, so it is not the same for every company, and a penalty is not optional. Paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to file the outstanding accounts — filing and penalties are dealt with as separate matters, and the consequences can become more serious the longer the accounts remain outstanding.

What if several accounting periods are outstanding?

Where more than one period is outstanding, each one may need to be addressed separately, which can mean preparing and filing several sets of accounts. Filing a single set does not automatically resolve the other outstanding periods. We can review the company's filing history with Companies House to establish exactly which periods are outstanding, then work through them in a sensible order.

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

Some companies with overdue accounts may qualify to prepare micro-entity accounts under FRS 105, the financial reporting standard that applies to qualifying entities using the micro-entity framework. Eligibility is not automatic simply because a business is small, so the company's legal structure, accounting period and circumstances need to be considered before the framework is confirmed. Where a company qualifies, that basis can simplify the disclosures required.

Are CT600 Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements separate from company accounts?

Yes. Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House where required, while a CT600 Corporation Tax Return is submitted to HMRC where applicable — dealing with one does not satisfy the other. A confirmation statement is also a separate Companies House filing and is not replaced by filing overdue accounts. If your company has outstanding Corporation Tax obligations, confirmation statements or other filings alongside overdue accounts, we can review what is outstanding and how each item should be handled.
