 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. 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

Understanding Late Micro-Entity Accounts Filing

Late micro-entity accounts filing occurs when an eligible company fails to deliver its statutory accounts to Companies House by the applicable deadline. When this happens, the overdue accounts still need to be prepared and filed, and a late-filing penalty may be charged depending on how late the accounts are submitted. Our team can assist Ripley companies in preparing and filing these overdue accounts, helping to address the outstanding obligation.

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.

Companies House Late Filing

What If Your Company Keeps Filing Late?

Repeatedly filing statutory accounts late can lead to ongoing Companies House late-filing penalties and may increase the risk of further action against the company. While each case depends on the specific circumstances, persistent non-compliance can be viewed seriously by Companies House.

Continued late-filing penalties for each overdue accounting period.
Potential escalation by Companies House, which may include action to strike the company off the register if filing obligations are not met.

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.

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

If your company qualifies as a micro-entity but has missed its statutory accounts deadline with Companies House, the accounts are considered late. You still need to prepare and file them to meet your legal obligation, and a late-filing penalty may be charged depending on how late they are.

What happens when micro-entity accounts are filed late?

When micro-entity accounts are filed late, Companies House will issue a late-filing penalty. The amount depends on how late the accounts are submitted. The penalty does not remove the requirement to file the overdue accounts, so it's important to bring them up to date as soon as possible.

Can an accountant help with overdue micro-entity accounts?

Yes, an experienced accountant can review your company's records, prepare the micro-entity accounts under FRS 105 (if eligible), and file them with Companies House. We can also help you understand any penalties and the steps to get back on track.

Will my company still qualify for micro-entity accounting if its accounts are overdue?

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, your company generally needs to meet at least two of the following: annual turnover of no more than £1 million, balance sheet total of no more than £500,000, and an average of no more than 10 employees. We can assess your eligibility based on your circumstances.

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

FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard for qualifying micro-entities. If your company is eligible, it may prepare its accounts using FRS 105, which simplifies the reporting requirements. Even if your accounts are overdue, we can help you determine if FRS 105 applies and prepare the accounts accordingly.

Are overdue statutory accounts filed with Companies House or HMRC?

Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House, while Corporation Tax Returns (such as CT600) are submitted to HMRC. These are separate obligations. Filing overdue statutory accounts with Companies House does not automatically complete your HMRC Corporation Tax filing. We can assist with both where applicable.

What if my company has more than one accounting period outstanding?

If multiple accounting periods are overdue, it's essential to address them promptly. Each period may incur its own late-filing penalty. We can help you prepare and file all outstanding micro-entity accounts, working through the periods systematically to bring your company's filing history up to date.

How do I start bringing my overdue micro-entity accounts up to date?

The first step is to contact us for a review of your company's situation. We'll discuss your filing history, gather the necessary financial information, and outline the process for preparing and filing the overdue accounts. Our fixed-fee pricing ensures transparency, so you know what to expect.
