 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.

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 refers to submitting your statutory accounts to Companies House after the applicable deadline has passed. When this happens, the outstanding 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 meet this obligation efficiently, without unnecessary stress.

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 Repeatedly Filing Late

If a company repeatedly misses its statutory filing deadlines, it will continue to have outstanding obligations with Companies House and may face further late-filing penalties. In more serious cases, persistent non-compliance can lead to Companies House taking action, which may include striking the company off the register.

Late-filing penalties may increase with the number of late filings.
The company's filing history will show a pattern of late accounts, which could affect its reputation.
Directors may be personally liable for certain penalties if the company fails to file.

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

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?

Late micro-entity accounts filing occurs when a qualifying company does not submit its statutory accounts to Companies House by the statutory deadline. This can happen for various reasons, but the accounts still need to be prepared and filed as soon as possible to avoid further penalties.

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

When micro-entity accounts are filed late, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty. The amount of the penalty depends on how late the accounts are submitted and the specific rules that apply to your company. It is important to file the overdue accounts promptly to minimise any additional consequences.

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

Yes, overdue micro-entity accounts must still be filed with Companies House. Paying any late-filing penalty does not remove the obligation to file. Our team can prepare and file the overdue accounts on your behalf, helping you get back on track.

Can an accountant help me with my late micro-entity accounts?

Absolutely. An experienced accountant can review your financial records, prepare the overdue micro-entity accounts in accordance with FRS 105 or the applicable framework, and file them with Companies House. We can also advise on your Corporation Tax obligations to HMRC, but note that filing accounts with Companies House is separate from submitting a Corporation Tax Return.

Will my company still qualify for micro-entity accounts if it is filing late?

Qualification for micro-entity accounts depends on meeting the statutory criteria, not on whether you have filed on time. 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. However, eligibility can also depend on your company's previous financial years and legal structure, so it is important to check the specific rules.

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

FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard for qualifying micro-entities using the micro-entity accounting framework. If your company meets the eligibility criteria, you may use FRS 105 to prepare your accounts, including overdue ones. However, using FRS 105 is not automatic; you must confirm that your company qualifies for the micro-entity regime.

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

Late micro-entity accounts are statutory accounts that must be filed with Companies House. In addition, your company may also have a Corporation Tax Return (CT600) to submit to HMRC, but these are separate obligations. Filing your accounts with Companies House does not automatically complete your HMRC filing requirements. Our service can help with both where needed.

What if I have more than one accounting period outstanding?

If you have multiple overdue accounting periods, it is crucial to bring them up to date as soon as possible. Each late filing may attract its own penalty, and the longer you wait, the more complex the situation can become. We can assist in preparing and filing all outstanding accounts, helping you resolve your compliance issues.

Need to file late accounts? Let us handle it.

If you have missed a Companies House deadline or have overdue micro-entity accounts, Micro Entity Accounts can help. We prepare and file overdue statutory accounts and can also assist with your CT600 Corporation Tax Return to HMRC. Our fixed-fee service takes the stress out of catching up, so you can focus on running your business with confidence.
