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.

 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.

───Late filing explained

What does late micro-entity accounts filing mean?

Late micro-entity accounts filing occurs when a company that qualifies for the micro-entity regime fails to deliver its statutory accounts to Companies House by the statutory deadline. Even if the deadline has passed, the accounts must still be prepared and filed, and a late-filing penalty may be imposed depending on how late the filing is and the governing rules. Professional assistance can help you resolve outstanding filings efficiently.

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.

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 repeatedly filing micro-entity accounts late

If a company continues to file its statutory accounts late, it may face escalating Companies House penalties and could ultimately be subject to more serious enforcement action. However, each case is assessed on its own merits, and not every late filing leads to the same outcome.

Accruing late-filing penalties for each overdue accounting period.
Potential action by Companies House, including the possibility of strike-off in persistent cases.

Behind on More Than One Accounting Period?

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. Micro Entity Accounts can help you understand which periods may need attention and discuss the work required to prepare the relevant outstanding accounts.

Late Filing FAQs

What does late micro-entity accounts filing involve?

Late micro-entity accounts filing means that a company eligible for the micro-entity regime has not delivered its statutory accounts to Companies House by the applicable deadline. The accounts still need to be prepared and filed, and the company may incur a late-filing penalty.

If my micro-entity accounts are late, do I still need to file them?

Yes. Even if the filing deadline has passed, the statutory accounts must still be prepared and delivered to Companies House. Filing late does not remove the obligation to file.

What is the Companies House late-filing penalty for micro-entity accounts?

The penalty amount depends on how late the accounts are filed and the specific rules that apply to your company. Companies House determines penalties on a sliding scale, and we cannot guarantee the exact amount. We can help you file as soon as possible to minimise the delay.

Can my company still use the micro-entity framework if its accounts are overdue?

Using the micro-entity framework depends on meeting the eligibility criteria, not on whether your accounts are late. For accounting periods beginning on or after 6 April 2025, your company generally needs to meet 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. Historical thresholds may apply to earlier periods.

What does FRS 105 have to do with overdue accounts?

FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard that applies to qualifying micro-entities. If your company is eligible and chooses to prepare its accounts under the micro-entity framework, FRS 105 will govern how the accounts are prepared. We can help ensure your overdue accounts comply with the correct framework.

Are overdue micro-entity accounts filed with Companies House or HMRC?

Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House. Corporation Tax Returns (CT600) are submitted separately to HMRC. Filing overdue accounts with Companies House does not automatically complete your HMRC obligations.

What information do I need to provide for overdue micro-entity accounts?

We will need your company's financial records, including details of income, expenses, assets, liabilities, and any prior year figures if applicable. If records are incomplete, we can discuss how to bring them up to date.

Can you help if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Yes. We can assist in bringing multiple overdue accounting periods up to date, subject to the specific circumstances. We will review your company's position and guide you through the process.
