Company accounts become overdue when the applicable statutory filing deadline has passed and the required accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. The deadline is generally based on the company's accounting reference period and its individual circumstances, so it is not identical for every company. Overdue simply means the filing is late and still outstanding; it does not change the underlying requirement to prepare and file the accounts where they are due.
Yes. Where a company is required to deliver statutory accounts to Companies House, that obligation continues even after the deadline has passed. The accounts still need to be prepared in the appropriate form and submitted, and any related matters such as Corporation Tax obligations, confirmation statements or other outstanding filings may need to be addressed separately. The exact position depends on the company's circumstances and which periods remain outstanding.
Yes. A dormant company can still have Companies House filing obligations, and dormancy does not automatically exempt a company from filing annual accounts. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate matters: a company may be dormant and still have accounts that are overdue because the required documents were not delivered by the applicable deadline. Whether a dormant company needs to file, and what it needs to file, depends on its specific circumstances.
Where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, Companies House may impose a late-filing penalty. The level of any penalty depends on the circumstances and the length of the delay, and it is not the same in every case. Filing the outstanding accounts and dealing with any penalty are separate matters, so paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to file the accounts themselves. If you believe a penalty has been applied incorrectly, eligibility for an appeal depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.
Where several accounting periods are outstanding, more than one set of accounts may need to be prepared and delivered. Completing one period does not automatically resolve the others, so each outstanding period generally has to be reviewed and addressed in turn. We can look at the full history of your company's filings, confirm which periods remain outstanding and prepare the accounts required for each one where applicable.
Some companies may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, in which case micro-entity accounts prepared under FRS 105 may be appropriate for the period in question. However, eligibility depends on the company's legal structure, its accounting period, its size and other qualifying conditions, so it should not be assumed. An overdue company may originally have been required to prepare micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts, and we would confirm the correct framework before preparing anything.
Yes. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while a Corporation Tax Return such as a CT600 is submitted to HMRC where applicable. Submitting overdue accounts to Companies House does not automatically satisfy any outstanding HMRC obligations. A confirmation statement is also a separate filing made to Companies House and is not replaced by filing annual accounts, so it may need to be dealt with alongside any outstanding accounts.
We can review your company's filing position, identify which accounting periods are outstanding and prepare the statutory accounts required for each one. Our accountants are fully qualified and regulated by ICAEW, ACCA and AAT, and we work on a simple fixed-fee basis with clear communication throughout. We can also assist with the Companies House filing itself and, where relevant to your circumstances, highlight separate matters such as Corporation Tax or confirmation statement obligations that may still need attention. If your company has already received a strike-off notice or has been dissolved, the position may require separate restoration or legal advice rather than a standard overdue accounts filing, so it is worth telling us about this at the outset.
