 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

Understanding Late Micro-Entity Accounts Filing

Late micro-entity accounts filing refers to submitting your company’s statutory accounts to Companies House after the statutory deadline has passed. When accounts are overdue, they must still be prepared and filed to meet your legal obligations. Depending on how late the filing is, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty, but paying this does not remove the need to file the accounts.

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 If Your Company Continues to File Late?

Repeatedly filing your accounts late can lead to ongoing penalties and may increase the risk of more serious action from Companies House, such as striking off. It is important to address overdue filings promptly to avoid further complications.

Further late-filing penalties may apply for each additional late period.
Companies House may take steps to strike off the company if filings are persistently missed.
Directors may face personal liability if the company fails to meet its statutory obligations.

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.

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

Late micro-entity accounts filing means that your company has missed the statutory deadline for submitting its micro-entity accounts to Companies House. This can happen for various reasons, but the accounts still need to be prepared and filed to meet your legal obligations, and you may be liable for a late-filing penalty.

What happens if I file micro-entity accounts late?

If you file your micro-entity accounts late, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty. The amount of the penalty depends on how late the accounts are filed. Even if a penalty is issued, you must still file the outstanding accounts to avoid further action.

Do overdue accounts still need to be filed?

Yes, overdue accounts must still be filed with Companies House. Filing them late does not remove the requirement. Our team can help you prepare and file the overdue accounts, ensuring they meet the necessary standards.

Can I still qualify for micro-entity accounts if my filing is late?

Yes, lateness of filing does not affect your eligibility to use the micro-entity framework. For accounting periods beginning on or after 6 April 2025, your 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 number of employees no more than 10. We can review your circumstances to confirm eligibility.

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

FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard for micro-entities. If your company qualifies, you can prepare your accounts under FRS 105, which simplifies reporting. Even if your accounts are overdue, you can still use FRS 105 provided you meet the eligibility criteria.

Are overdue accounts filed with Companies House or HMRC?

Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House, while Corporation Tax Returns (CT600) are submitted separately to HMRC. Filing your overdue accounts with Companies House does not automatically complete your HMRC filing obligations. You may also need to file a CT600 if your Corporation Tax Return is outstanding.

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

To prepare your overdue micro-entity accounts, you will need your company's financial records, including bank statements, invoices, expenses, and any previous accounts. Our team can guide you on the specific information required and assist in compiling the accounts.

Can an accountant help with late micro-entity accounts filing?

Yes, an accountant can help you bring your accounts up to date. We can prepare the overdue accounts in line with the micro-entity framework and file them with Companies House, helping to resolve your outstanding filing obligations.
