Overdue company accounts are statutory annual accounts that were required to be delivered to Companies House by a particular filing deadline but were not submitted in time. Once the deadline passes, the accounts remain outstanding until they are prepared and filed. The filing deadline and penalty risk depend on the company's individual accounting reference period and circumstances.
Yes. A dormant company can still have an annual accounts filing obligation. If the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, they become overdue. Dormancy does not automatically remove the requirement to file, so directors should check the company's filing history even if no trading activity has taken place.
If accounts are delivered after the statutory deadline, Companies House can issue a late-filing penalty. The penalty amount depends on how late the accounts are and the company's filing situation. It is also important to note that paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to file the outstanding accounts.
Yes. Overdue accounts still need to be prepared and filed with Companies House. Filing them brings the company's record up to date, even though a late-filing penalty may still apply depending on the circumstances. The filing obligation and any penalty are separate matters.
If several accounting periods are outstanding, each one will normally require its own set of accounts. Each outstanding period must be addressed separately, and the relevant filing requirements will depend on the dates involved. A professional accountant can review the outstanding years and prepare the necessary documents.
No. Annual accounts are filed with Companies House, while Corporation Tax Returns such as the CT600 are submitted to HMRC. A company can have overdue Companies House accounts and separate HMRC obligations. Bringing Companies House filing up to date does not automatically satisfy Corporation Tax filing requirements.
The information required depends on the company's circumstances and the accounting period in question. In general, we may need bank statements, invoices, expense records, details of any loans or directors' transactions, a copy of the previous accounts and your company authentication code if available. We will confirm exactly what is needed once we understand your position.
We can review the outstanding filing obligation, prepare the overdue statutory accounts in accordance with the appropriate reporting framework and file them with Companies House. We also guide you through the documents required and explain any late-filing penalty implications, so you are not left trying to work it out alone.
