 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.

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.

───Late filing explained

Understanding Late Micro-Entity Accounts Filing in Batley

Late micro-entity accounts filing means submitting your company’s statutory accounts to Companies House after the statutory deadline has passed. If your Batley company has missed this deadline, the overdue accounts still need to be prepared and filed to meet your legal obligations. Filing late can result in a Companies House penalty, depending on how late the accounts are and the applicable rules.

Companies House Late Filing Penalties

Penalties are charged automatically based on how late your accounts are delivered, and they double where accounts were also filed late for the previous financial year. The figures below apply to accounts delivered after the statutory deadline.

How late the accounts are	Private company	Public company
Up to 1 month late	£150	£750
1 to 3 months late	£375	£1,500
3 to 6 months late	£750	£3,000
More than 6 months late	£1,500	£7,500

Penalty levels are set by Companies House and may change. Separate HMRC penalties and interest may apply to late Corporation Tax Returns and unpaid tax. View the latest Companies House late filing penalty guidance.

We review the available bank statements, invoices and financial records and prepare the relevant micro-entity accounts based on the information available and the applicable reporting requirements.

Companies House Late Filing

Late Corporation Tax Returns

We prepare and file the matching CT600 returns with HMRC, calculate the tax due and confirm interest or penalty positions.

What Are the Risks of Repeatedly Filing Late?

If your company in Batley repeatedly files its statutory accounts late, you may face continued late-filing penalties from Companies House, and the outstanding accounts will still need to be submitted. Persistent failure to meet filing obligations could lead to more serious action, such as the company being struck off the register, although this is not automatic and depends on the circumstances.

What does late micro-entity accounts filing mean for a Batley company?

Late micro-entity accounts filing is when a company that meets the micro-entity criteria does not submit its statutory accounts to Companies House by the deadline. Even if the deadline has passed, the accounts still need to be prepared and filed to comply with the Companies Act, and a late-filing penalty may be charged.

Can a company in Batley still use the micro-entity framework if its accounts are overdue?

Yes, a company can still prepare and file its overdue accounts using the micro-entity framework if it meets the eligibility criteria for the relevant accounting period. For accounting periods beginning on or after 6 April 2025, the company must satisfy at least two of the following: annual turnover no more than £1 million, balance sheet total no more than £500,000, and an average of no more than 10 employees. Eligibility also depends on previous financial years and other rules.

What is FRS 105 and how does it apply to overdue accounts?

FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard for qualifying micro-entities in the UK. If a Batley company is eligible to use the micro-entity framework, its overdue accounts can be prepared under FRS 105, which simplifies the reporting requirements. However, the company must still provide the required information and meet the eligibility conditions.

Does filing overdue micro-entity accounts with Companies House also satisfy HMRC requirements?

No. Filing statutory accounts with Companies House is a separate legal obligation from submitting your Corporation Tax Return (CT600) to HMRC. Even if your accounts are filed late with Companies House, you may still need to file a CT600 and pay any Corporation Tax due. Our team can assist with both obligations, but they are distinct processes.

What are the potential penalties for late filing of micro-entity accounts?

Companies House applies late-filing penalties based on how late the accounts are filed. The penalty amount depends on the length of the delay and the company's filing history. Paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to file the overdue accounts. We can help you understand the penalty rules, but we cannot guarantee that a penalty will be reduced or removed.

What information do I need to provide to help prepare my overdue micro-entity accounts?

To prepare your overdue micro-entity accounts, we will need your company's financial records, such as bank statements, income and expense records, and details of any loans or shareholders' funds. If you have filed accounts before, we can also refer to those. Our team will guide you on what is required, so the process is straightforward.

Can an accountant help if my Batley company has more than one accounting period outstanding?

Yes. If your company has missed filing for more than one accounting period, we can help bring your filings up to date. We will review each outstanding period to determine eligibility for the micro-entity framework and prepare the necessary accounts. It is important to address all overdue periods to avoid escalating penalties and potential action from Companies House.
