He helped me sort out a very complicated backlog of accounts and prepared my overdue tax returns with professionalism and attention to detail.

 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 Overdue Company Accounts Mean for Worcester Directors

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline, which is set by reference to the company’s accounting reference period rather than one fixed date that applies to every business. Once that deadline passes without the required accounts being delivered, the accounts are treated as overdue. The filing obligation itself does not disappear at that point — the accounts still need to be prepared and submitted where required, and the sooner the position is reviewed, the easier it usually is to work through. Directors in Worcester who have missed a deadline often find that matters become more involved the longer they are left, particularly where reminders or correspondence from Companies House have started to arrive, or where more than one accounting period is outstanding and each period needs to be addressed separately. Late-filing penalties can apply where accounts are delivered after the deadline, and the level of any penalty depends on the circumstances rather than being the same for every company. It is also worth keeping in mind that an overdue filing does not mean a company has been struck off or dissolved, and that a dormant company can still have outstanding accounts filing obligations. Reviewing what has actually been recorded at Companies House, which periods remain outstanding, and which reporting framework applies to each one is normally the sensible first step.

─── 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 have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline. That deadline is based on the company's accounting reference period and its own circumstances, so it varies from one company to the next. Once the deadline has passed and the required accounts have not been delivered, the accounts are overdue. Being overdue does not mean the company has been removed from the register or suspended — it means a filing obligation remains outstanding and needs to be dealt with.

Do overdue company accounts still need to be filed?

Yes. The requirement to prepare and deliver statutory accounts to Companies House does not fall away because a deadline has been missed. In most cases the outstanding accounts still need to be prepared and submitted, and where several periods are overdue, each set of accounts may need to be prepared and filed separately. The precise requirements depend on the company's circumstances, including its accounting periods and the reporting framework that applies to it.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

A dormant company can have overdue accounts. Dormancy and late filing are separate matters: even where a company has not traded, it may still have an annual accounts filing obligation with Companies House, and dormant accounts may still need to be prepared and delivered. If your company is dormant and you are unsure what has been filed, it is worth checking the Companies House record before deciding how to proceed.

What happens when accounts are filed after the deadline?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. The penalty scale depends on how late the accounts are and on the company's filing history, subject to the applicable Companies House rules, so penalties are not identical for every company. Persistent non-compliance can make the position more serious over time, and Companies House may take action against companies that repeatedly fail to meet their filing obligations, which in some cases can lead to compulsory strike-off proceedings. Where a strike-off notice has already been issued, or a company has been dissolved, the situation may need separate restoration or legal advice rather than being treated as a routine overdue filing.

If a late-filing penalty is paid, do the accounts still need to be filed?

Yes. Paying a penalty and filing the outstanding accounts are separate matters. Settling a penalty does not remove the requirement to prepare and deliver the accounts, and those accounts remain outstanding until they are actually filed. If you believe a penalty has been issued incorrectly, whether an appeal is available depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules, and we can review the position with you.

What happens if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Where a company has missed more than one deadline, several sets of accounts may need to be prepared and filed. Each accounting period is generally treated separately, so filing one set of accounts does not automatically clear the others. We usually start by reviewing the Companies House record to establish exactly which periods are outstanding, then work through them in sequence. The information needed for each period depends on the records available and the company's circumstances. It is also worth noting that a confirmation statement is a separate filing from annual accounts, so an outstanding confirmation statement may need to be dealt with as a distinct task.

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

Yes. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as the CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable. Filing overdue accounts with Companies House does not, by itself, satisfy any outstanding Corporation Tax obligations, and the two are handled as separate compliance matters. If your company has both overdue accounts and outstanding returns, both will usually need to be addressed, and the requirements depend on the company's circumstances.

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

Some companies with overdue accounts may qualify under the micro-entity reporting framework, which is set out in FRS 105, the financial reporting standard applicable to qualifying entities using that framework. Eligibility is not automatic — it depends on the company's legal structure, accounting period, size and reporting framework, and not every small company qualifies. A company that previously prepared micro-entity accounts may or may not still be eligible for a later period, so the position is checked before any accounts are prepared.
