 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 submit its statutory accounts to Companies House by the applicable deadline. Even if the deadline has passed, the accounts must still be prepared and filed to meet your legal obligations, and a late-filing penalty may be charged depending on how late the accounts are submitted. Our team can help you prepare and file the overdue accounts efficiently, reducing the stress of dealing with Companies House.

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 Repeated Late Filing

If a company repeatedly files its accounts late, it may face escalating penalties and increased scrutiny from Companies House. Persistent failure to meet filing obligations can also lead to more serious action, such as compulsory strike-off, although this is not automatic and depends on the circumstances.

Continued late-filing penalties, which increase the longer accounts remain outstanding.
Potential loss of the company's ability to file accounts under the micro-entity regime if it fails to meet the eligibility criteria over time.
Risk of Companies House taking steps to strike the company off the register if accounts remain unfiled for an extended period.

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.

─── FAQs

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 refers to 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 to avoid further penalties and potential action. Our accountants can help you prepare and file these overdue accounts correctly.

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

If you file your micro-entity accounts late, Companies House will likely issue a late-filing penalty. The amount of the penalty depends on how late the accounts are filed, and it is calculated based on the company's size and the length of delay. The penalty is in addition to the requirement to file the accounts, so you must still submit them. We can assist you in preparing and filing the overdue accounts to bring your company back into compliance.

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

Yes, your company can still use the micro-entity framework for its overdue accounts, provided it meets the eligibility criteria for the relevant accounting period. For accounting periods beginning on or after 6 April 2025, a company generally qualifies if it meets at least two of the following conditions: 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. Our accountants can review your circumstances to confirm eligibility and prepare the accounts under FRS 105 if applicable.

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

FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard that applies to micro-entities in the UK. If your company qualifies for the micro-entity regime and is required to file its accounts under FRS 105, then overdue accounts must still be prepared in accordance with that standard. Our team is experienced in applying FRS 105 and can ensure your overdue accounts are prepared correctly, even if you have missed previous deadlines.

Are overdue accounts filed with Companies House or HMRC?

Overdue statutory accounts are filed with Companies House, not HMRC. Companies House requires annual accounts to be filed for the public record, while HMRC handles Corporation Tax Returns (CT600) separately. If your company also has an outstanding Corporation Tax Return, that must be submitted to HMRC, and filing overdue accounts with Companies House does not automatically satisfy your HMRC obligations. Our accountants can assist with both filings where needed.

Can an accountant help me bring my overdue micro-entity accounts up to date?

Yes, an accountant can help you prepare and file overdue micro-entity accounts. We can review your financial records, prepare the accounts in the correct format, and submit them to Companies House on your behalf. We can also advise on any late-filing penalties you may have incurred and help you understand your obligations. Our goal is to make the process as straightforward as possible for you.

What if my company has several years of overdue accounts?

If your company has multiple years of overdue accounts, it is important to address them as soon as possible to avoid escalating penalties and potential action from Companies House. We can help you prepare and file each set of overdue accounts, starting with the earliest period. We will work through the outstanding periods systematically, ensuring that all filings are completed correctly and in accordance with the applicable accounting standards.

Can an LLP qualify for micro-entity accounts filing if it is late?

Yes, an LLP can qualify for micro-entity accounts filing if it meets the eligibility criteria for the relevant accounting period. The same thresholds and conditions apply as for companies, and the accounts must be prepared under FRS 105. If your LLP has missed its filing deadline, we can assist in preparing and filing the overdue accounts, subject to confirmation of eligibility.
