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

Overdue Company Accounts: What Directors in Stratford Need to Know

Every limited company with a statutory filing obligation must deliver its annual accounts to Companies House by a deadline that depends on the company’s accounting reference period and its own circumstances. When that deadline passes and the accounts have not been filed, they become overdue. For a dormant company in Stratford, this can happen more easily than people expect — especially if a director assumes that ‘not trading’ removes the need to file. It does not. The company remains obliged to prepare and file accounts for each relevant accounting period unless an exemption applies, and overdue filings do not disappear on their own. The type of accounts required, whether micro-entity accounts, small company accounts or another form of statutory accounts, depends on the company’s size, structure and reporting framework. While no accountant can promise that a penalty will be avoided, filing outstanding accounts promptly is the clearest way to address the position and bring the company’s Companies House record up to date.

─── 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.

Why has my dormant company received a reminder about overdue accounts when it has not traded?

Dormancy does not automatically remove the requirement to file annual accounts. A dormant company may still need to deliver accounts to Companies House for each accounting period unless it qualifies for and claims an available exemption. If a reminder has been issued, the filing deadline has probably passed without the required accounts being delivered, making them overdue. It is worth confirming what is outstanding with Companies House or an accountant rather than assuming no filing is needed.

What does 'overdue company accounts' actually mean for a limited company?

Overdue company accounts are statutory accounts that should have been delivered to Companies House by the applicable deadline but were not. The deadline for a private limited company is usually determined by its accounting reference date, although it can vary in certain circumstances. Once the deadline has passed, the accounts are late and the company remains responsible for filing them.

Do dormant companies in Stratford still need to file accounts with Companies House?

Generally, yes. Dormancy may change the content of the accounts and may allow the company to send a simpler filing, but it does not remove the filing requirement itself. If a dormant company in Stratford has missed its filing deadline, the accounts become overdue. An accountant can check whether the company meets the conditions for dormant status and what form of accounts should be filed.

What happens if accounts are filed after the statutory deadline?

When accounts are delivered late, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty. The amount depends on the circumstances and how late the accounts are received, but we deliberately do not quote fixed figures because they can change. The penalty is separate from the requirement to file, and persistent late filing can also attract further attention from Companies House. The best practical step is usually to prepare and deliver the outstanding accounts as soon as possible.

Does paying a late-filing penalty remove the need to file overdue accounts?

No. A penalty is an administrative consequence of late delivery; it does not file the accounts for you. Paying it does not bring the company back into compliance. You will still need to prepare and deliver the statutory accounts for the relevant period. Where a penalty seems unfair, a formal appeal may be possible in limited circumstances, but an accountant cannot guarantee the outcome.

If several accounting periods are outstanding, must each one be filed separately?

Yes, each outstanding accounting period will normally require its own set of accounts, because each period has its own Companies House filing deadline and its own statutory reporting obligations. A single later filing does not automatically cover previous years. A professional accountant can review the outstanding periods and prepare the appropriate accounts for each one, which is particularly relevant for dormant companies with multiple missed deadlines.

Can a dormant company use micro-entity accounts for overdue filings in Stratford?

Micro-entity accounts may be filed only where the company meets the eligibility conditions for the micro-entity regime for that particular accounting period. Many dormant companies qualify, but qualification is not automatic and should be checked each year. Where the micro-entity framework applies, the accounts are normally prepared under FRS 105. An accountant can confirm the correct framework and prepare dormant company accounts that comply with the relevant requirements.

How can Micro Entity Accounts help with our dormant company accounts in Stratford?

We can review what is outstanding, identify the relevant accounting periods and prepare the required statutory accounts for filing with Companies House. Our accountants are qualified and regulated by ICAEW, ACCA or AAT and are experienced with dormant company filings. We explain the process clearly, let you know what information we need and aim to make bringing your overdue accounts up to date as simple as possible.
