 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

What Does Late Filing Mean for Your West Bromwich Company?

Late micro-entity accounts filing in West Bromwich occurs when an eligible company does not submit its statutory accounts to Companies House by the applicable deadline. Even after the deadline has passed, 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 and the rules that apply. Our role is to help you prepare and file those outstanding accounts correctly, so you can address the late filing and avoid further complications.

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.

Repeatedly Filing Late? Here's What Could Happen

If a company in West Bromwich repeatedly files its statutory accounts late, it will continue to have outstanding filing obligations with Companies House, and each late filing can attract its own penalty. Persistent failure to meet filing requirements may also lead to more serious action, such as Companies House striking the company off the register, though this is not automatic and depends on the circumstances.

Continued late-filing penalties for each overdue accounting period.
Increased risk of Companies House enforcement action, including potential strike-off.

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 West Bromwich?

Late micro-entity accounts filing means that your company has not submitted its statutory accounts to Companies House by the statutory deadline. Even if the deadline has passed, the accounts still need to be prepared and filed. The longer the delay, the higher the late-filing penalty may be, so it is important to act promptly.

I've missed the deadline for my micro-entity accounts – do I still need to file them?

Yes. The requirement to file statutory accounts with Companies House does not disappear because the deadline has passed. You must still prepare and file the overdue accounts. Filing late is better than not filing at all, and we can assist you in preparing and submitting the outstanding accounts to Companies House.

What are the Companies House late-filing penalties for micro-entity accounts?

Companies House imposes late-filing penalties on companies that do not file their accounts by the statutory deadline. The amount of the penalty depends on how late the accounts are filed and the rules applicable at the time. We cannot guarantee that a penalty will be reduced or removed, but we can help you file your accounts as soon as possible to minimise further penalties.

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

Yes, provided your company meets the qualifying conditions for a micro-entity. For accounting 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, a balance sheet total of no more than £500,000, and an average of no more than 10 employees. The fact that accounts are overdue does not automatically prevent you from using the micro-entity framework, but eligibility must be confirmed based on your company's circumstances.

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

FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard that applies to companies that qualify as micro-entities and choose to use the micro-entity reporting framework. If your company is eligible, your overdue accounts should be prepared under FRS 105. This standard simplifies the accounts preparation process, but it must be applied correctly. We can help ensure your overdue accounts are prepared in accordance with FRS 105.

I've filed my overdue accounts with Companies House – does that also take care of my Corporation Tax Return?

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

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

To prepare your overdue statutory accounts, we will need your company's financial records for the relevant accounting period, including details of income, expenses, assets, and liabilities. If you have not kept up-to-date records, we can help you reconstruct them from available information such as bank statements and invoices. The exact documents required will depend on your company's situation.

Can an accountant help me if I have more than one accounting period overdue?

Yes. If your company has multiple overdue accounting periods, it is important to bring them up to date as soon as possible. We can prepare and file each set of overdue micro-entity accounts, but the process may be more complex. We will review your circumstances and help you address each outstanding filing obligation in a logical order.
