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 Does It Mean When Dormant Company Accounts Are Overdue?

When a company’s annual accounts are not delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline, they become overdue. This applies to dormant companies as well as active ones. Dormancy does not automatically remove a company’s filing obligations; the requirement to file depends on the company’s specific circumstances, such as its accounting reference period and whether any exemption applies. Delaying action can lead to late-filing penalties and further compliance concerns. If you become aware that accounts are outstanding, it is important to address the matter promptly. The correct approach depends on how many accounting periods are overdue and whether the company qualifies for a particular reporting framework. Micro Entity Accounts can review your position and help you determine the steps needed to bring your dormant company accounts 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.

Can a dormant company still be required to file accounts with Companies House?

Yes. Dormancy does not automatically remove a company's filing obligations. A dormant company may be exempt from a full audit, but it may still need to deliver annual accounts to Companies House unless a specific exemption applies. Whether accounts are due depends on the company's legal structure, activity and accounting reference period.

What are the consequences of not filing dormant company accounts on time?

If accounts are delivered late, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty. The amount depends on how overdue the accounts are and the company's circumstances. Ongoing non-compliance can also affect a company's record and may lead to further action by Companies House. Filing the overdue accounts promptly is important, even if a penalty has been issued.

Do I still need to file accounts if my company has not traded for years?

A non-trading or dormant company may still have an obligation to file accounts. The fact that the company has not traded does not by itself remove the requirement to deliver statutory accounts. You should check your company's Companies House records to see which accounting periods are outstanding and whether any filing exemptions apply.

Can late-filing penalties be cancelled if I file the overdue accounts?

Filing overdue accounts does not automatically cancel a late-filing penalty. The penalty and the filing requirement are separate matters. In some circumstances you may be able to appeal a penalty, but this depends on the specific reasons and the rules applied by Companies House. An accountant can review your situation and advise on the available options.

My dormant company has multiple years of overdue accounts. What should I do?

If more than one set of annual accounts is outstanding, each accounting period must be addressed separately. You will need to prepare and file accounts for each year, and the correct reporting framework may vary depending on the company's circumstances. A professional can help you determine what is required and prepare the filings in the correct order.

Is a confirmation statement the same as dormant company accounts?

No. A confirmation statement is a separate Companies House filing that confirms your company's registered details, such as directors and registered office. It is not the same as annual accounts. Even if your company is dormant, it may need to file both a confirmation statement and, in many cases, annual accounts. Overdue accounts do not remove the need to file a confirmation statement.

What information do I need to provide for overdue dormant company accounts to be prepared?

For a dormant company, the information required is usually limited because there may be no financial transactions. However, an accountant will need details such as the company name, registration number, confirmation of dormant status, and information about any prior accounting periods. If there has been any activity or asset movement, further records may be required.
