 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.

From day one, they've made what can often be a complicated and stressful part of running a business feel straightforward and hassle-free.

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 Filing of Micro-Entity Accounts

Late micro-entity accounts filing in Portishead occurs when a company fails to deliver its statutory accounts to Companies House by the applicable deadline. Even if the deadline has passed, the accounts still need to be prepared and filed. Late filing can result in a Companies House penalty, depending on how late the accounts are and the specific rules that apply. We can help you bring your filing up to date.

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.

─── Our late filing service

What's Included in Our Late Micro-Entity Filing Service?

Our fixed-fee service covers the accounts and filing requirements typically needed by qualifying micro-entity companies, from preparation to submission.

Overdue Accounts Preparation

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

Where applicable, we prepare the relevant statutory accounts and complete the Companies House filing process once the required information and approvals are in place.

Late Corporation Tax Returns

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

Multiple Year Catch-Up

Two, three or more years behind? We review each outstanding accounting period and prepare the relevant accounts in an appropriate sequence based on your company's circumstances and filing requirements.

Penalty Appeal Support

Where appropriate, we can review whether there may be grounds for an appeal and assist with preparing relevant supporting information. Any decision remains with the relevant authority.

Strike-Off & Dormant Filings

We can review the circumstances of a dormant company or proposed strike-off and help identify the relevant outstanding filing requirements.

Consequences of Repeated Late Filing

If a company continues to file accounts late, the outstanding obligations do not disappear. Each late period can attract its own Companies House late-filing penalty, and persistent failure to meet filing requirements may lead to more serious action, including possible strike-off proceedings. However, every case is different, and the specific consequences depend on the circumstances.

If your company has more than one outstanding set of accounts, the situation may require a review of the company’s filing history and available financial records.

─── FAQs

Late Filing FAQs

Reach out to our UK team any time at info@microentityaccounts.co.uk. We are always happy to assist you.

What does late micro-entity accounts filing mean for my company in Portishead?

Late micro-entity accounts filing means your company has not delivered its statutory accounts to Companies House by the filing deadline. The accounts are still required, and you may face a late-filing penalty. We can assist in preparing and filing the overdue accounts to bring your company back into compliance.

What happens if I file my micro-entity accounts late?

If you file your micro-entity accounts late, Companies House will likely issue a late-filing penalty. The amount depends on how late the accounts are filed. Importantly, paying the penalty does not remove the obligation to file the accounts – they must still be submitted. We can help you file the overdue accounts to stop further penalties.

Do I still need to file overdue micro-entity accounts?

Yes, overdue micro-entity accounts must still be filed with Companies House. The filing obligation does not expire, and failing to file can lead to continued penalties and potential enforcement action. Our team can help you prepare and file the overdue accounts promptly.

Can my company still qualify as a micro-entity if its accounts are late?

Late filing does not automatically disqualify a company from using the micro-entity framework. Eligibility depends on meeting the qualifying conditions for the relevant accounting period. For periods beginning on or after 6 April 2025, a company generally qualifies if it meets at least two of the following: annual turnover no more than £1 million, balance sheet total no more than £500,000, and average no more than 10 employees. We can review your circumstances to confirm eligibility.

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

FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard applicable to micro-entities that choose to use the micro-entity framework. If your company qualifies, FRS 105 simplifies the preparation of accounts. Even if your accounts are late, you may still use FRS 105 provided you meet the eligibility criteria. We can prepare your overdue accounts under FRS 105 if applicable.

Are overdue accounts filed with Companies House, and is a CT600 also required?

Yes, statutory accounts are filed with Companies House. Separately, your company may need to submit a Corporation Tax Return (CT600) to HMRC, along with the corporation tax payment. Filing overdue accounts with Companies House does not automatically fulfill your HMRC obligations. We can assist with both filings where needed.

What if more than one accounting period is overdue?

If multiple accounting periods are overdue, each period will have its own filing obligation and may attract separate late-filing penalties. It is important to bring all periods up to date as soon as possible. We can help you prepare and file the accounts for each overdue period, working through them systematically.

How can an accountant help with late micro-entity accounts filing?

An accountant can review your financial records, prepare the overdue statutory accounts in the correct format, and assist with filing them to Companies House. They can also advise on Corporation Tax obligations and help you understand the penalty position. Our team is experienced in handling late filings and can take the stress out of the process.
