He helped me sort out a very complicated backlog of accounts and prepared my overdue tax returns with professionalism and attention to detail. Throughout the process, he was incredibly patient, took the time to answer all of my questions, and explained everything clearly. He guided me through each step and helped rectify issues that had built up over time, making what felt like an overwhelming situation much more manageable. I'm very pleased with the service I've received and truly appreciate his support. If you need help with your accounts or taxes, I would highly recommend Imran.

 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.

─── OVERDUE ACCOUNTS EXPLAINED

When Company Accounts Become Overdue: A Guide for Alnwick Directors

In the UK, most limited companies are required by law to deliver annual accounts to Companies House by a statutory deadline that depends on the company’s accounting reference period. When that deadline passes without the required accounts being received, the accounts are considered overdue. For companies in Alnwick, an overdue filing might be the result of a lost reminder, a change of accountant, illness, or simply not realising that a filing was due. Whatever the reason, it is important to address outstanding accounts as soon as possible. The longer accounts remain overdue, the more complex the situation can become, and Companies House may take interest in persistent non-compliance. The exact requirements and consequences will depend on your company’s individual circumstances, so it is always sensible to seek professional advice tailored to your situation.

─── Why Choose Us

How Much Are Companies House Late Filing Penalties?

Penalties escalate the longer your accounts stay unfiled, and they double if your company also filed late in the previous financial year. Acting now is the single most effective way to cap what you owe.

How late the accounts are	Private company	Public company
Up to 1 month late	£150	£300
1 to 3 months late	£375	£750
3 to 6 months late	£750	£1,500
More than 6 months late	£1,500	£3,000

HMRC applies separate penalties for late Corporation Tax Returns, starting at £100 per return plus interest on unpaid tax. Companies House late-filing penalties can change, so check the current GOV.UK guidance for the latest penalty rules.

─── FAQs

Overdue Company Accounts FAQs

Still unsure where you stand? Reach out to our UK team at info@microentityaccounts.co.uk and we will review your filing history with you.

What exactly are overdue company accounts?

Overdue company accounts are annual accounts that a limited company was required to deliver to Companies House by a particular filing deadline but has not yet filed. If that deadline passes and Companies House has still not received the accounts, they become overdue. The company remains on the register, but it now has an outstanding filing obligation that needs to be addressed.

Why do company accounts often end up overdue?

There are many reasons why accounts might be filed late. Some directors simply lose track of the filing date, while others may have experienced a change of accountant, taken ill, or been dealing with personal or business pressures. Some companies stop trading and mistakenly assume that filing no longer applies. Whatever the reason, an overdue filing does not go away on its own, and it is usually easier to resolve sooner rather than later.

If my company's accounts are overdue, do they still need to be filed?

In most cases, yes. Where a company has an outstanding obligation to file annual accounts with Companies House, those accounts still need to be prepared and delivered, even if the deadline has passed. The fact that accounts are late does not remove the requirement to file them. A qualified accountant can help you identify which accounting periods are outstanding and what needs to be done.

Can a dormant company have overdue company accounts?

Yes. Dormant companies in the UK can still be required to file annual accounts at Companies House, depending on the type and circumstances of the company. Dormancy does not automatically exempt a company from filing, so it is possible for a dormant company to have overdue accounts if its required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline.

What happens if I file my company accounts late?

If company accounts are delivered after the statutory deadline, Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty. The amount may vary depending on how late the accounts are, and paying the penalty does not remove the requirement to file the outstanding accounts. The penalties and any consequences are separate from the filing obligation itself. If you have already received a penalty, we can review your circumstances and explain your options, but we cannot guarantee that a penalty will be reduced or cancelled.

What if several accounting periods are overdue?

If your company has missed more than one accounting period, each set of accounts will generally need to be prepared and filed separately. Companies House will expect each outstanding period to be addressed, and the most recent period will need to be handled alongside any earlier ones. The process can feel complex, but an experienced accountant can work through the periods in a logical order and help you meet your obligations.

Can overdue accounts be prepared as micro-entity accounts?

Some companies are eligible to prepare micro-entity accounts under the micro-entity accounting framework, which uses Financial Reporting Standard FRS 105. Whether your overdue accounts can be filed in that format depends on the company's size, structure, and the accounting period in question. Not every small company automatically qualifies, so we will assess your eligibility before preparing the accounts.

Are Corporation Tax Returns separate from overdue company accounts?

Yes. Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House, whereas Corporation Tax Returns, such as the CT600, are submitted to HMRC. Filing overdue accounts with Companies House does not automatically satisfy your Corporation Tax obligations, and vice versa. If both are outstanding, they need to be dealt with separately, and we can assist with each where appropriate.
