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.

Special thanks to Muhammad Saifullah for his assistance.

 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 normally have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline for the accounting period in question. That deadline is not identical for every company, because it depends on factors such as the accounting reference period and the company’s own circumstances. Once the deadline has passed and the required accounts have not been delivered, those accounts are treated as overdue. Overdue accounts are usually worth addressing promptly. While accounts remain outstanding, the company’s filing record at Companies House is incomplete, and the longer the position is left unresolved, the more the matter can develop. Late-filing penalties may apply where accounts are delivered after the deadline, and persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of further action being taken against the company, although the outcome always depends on the circumstances. Dormant companies are not automatically exempt. A company can be dormant for Corporation Tax purposes and still have annual accounts filing obligations at Companies House, so dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. Where a company has more than one accounting period outstanding, each period generally needs to be prepared and delivered separately rather than being covered by a single filing. Directors in Wickford who are unsure which periods remain outstanding can ask us to review the company’s position before any accounts are prepared.

─── 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 exactly are overdue company accounts?

Company accounts become overdue when the statutory filing deadline for a particular accounting period has passed and the required accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. It is about the filing obligation and the deadline rather than how well or badly the company has traded. If you are unsure which periods are outstanding, we can check the company's filing position and confirm what still needs to be prepared.

Why might my company accounts have become overdue?

There are several common reasons. A director may not have realised that the filing deadline had passed, the company may have been inactive and assumed no accounts were needed, bookkeeping records may be incomplete, or a change of accountant may have left a gap between advisers. Whatever the reason, the obligation to deliver the outstanding accounts does not disappear, and the position is usually easier to resolve once the outstanding periods have been identified.

Do I still need to file company accounts that are already late?

Yes. Where accounts are required to be delivered to Companies House, that requirement continues even after the deadline has passed. Preparing and filing the outstanding statutory accounts is the usual route to bringing the company's filing record up to date, although the accounts must first be prepared, reviewed and authorised by the director before submission.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormancy relates to the company's trading and Corporation Tax position; it does not remove Companies House filing obligations by itself. A dormant company can still have annual accounts that were due and not delivered, which means those accounts are overdue. Whether a particular dormant company can file a simpler form of accounts depends on its circumstances and the applicable requirements.

What happens if the accounts are filed after the deadline?

Where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, a late-filing penalty may be imposed by Companies House. Whether a penalty applies, and how it is calculated, depends on the circumstances, including how late the filing is. Submitting the accounts does not automatically remove or cancel any penalty that has been charged, and the requirement to file and the penalty are separate matters.

If I pay a late-filing penalty, do I still need to file the accounts?

Yes. Paying a penalty does not satisfy the filing obligation. The outstanding accounts still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House, and the company may also have separate compliance matters to deal with, such as a confirmation statement or a Corporation Tax Return submitted to HMRC where applicable.

What if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Each outstanding period generally needs its own set of accounts, so a company with more than one overdue period may need several sets prepared, reviewed and filed. It is not usually possible to resolve them all with a single filing. We can look at the periods involved, agree an order of work and prepare each set in turn, with the director reviewing and authorising each one before it is submitted.

How can Micro Entity Accounts assist with Overdue Company Accounts Filing in Wickford?

We can help. Micro Entity Accounts supports company directors in Wickford with the preparation and filing of outstanding company accounts, including reviewing which periods are overdue, preparing accounts on the appropriate basis and assisting with delivery to Companies House. Our accountants are fully qualified and regulated by ICAEW, ACCA and AAT. Depending on the company's eligibility, micro-entity accounts under FRS 105 or another applicable reporting framework may be suitable, and we will confirm the correct approach before work begins. Where Corporation Tax Returns, confirmation statements or other filings are also outstanding, we can advise on those as separate matters.
