Overdue company accounts are statutory accounts that were not delivered to Companies House by the applicable filing deadline. Every private limited company must normally file annual accounts, even if it has not traded. When that obligation is missed, the accounts become overdue and remain outstanding until they are filed.
Yes, in most cases. The requirement to file statutory accounts does not disappear simply because the deadline has passed. If Companies House has not received the accounts for a particular accounting period, those accounts will normally still need to be prepared and delivered, regardless of how late they are.
Yes. A dormant company can still have filing obligations. Dormancy does not automatically exempt a company from filing accounts, and if the required accounts are not delivered by the applicable deadline, they become overdue just as they would for an active company.
If accounts are filed after the Companies House deadline, the filing is late and a late-filing penalty may apply. The amount of any penalty depends on how late the accounts are delivered and the company's specific circumstances. Filing late does not remove the need to file, and paying any penalty does not cancel the obligation to deliver the outstanding accounts.
Persistent non-compliance with Companies House filing obligations can increase the risk of compulsory strike-off action, but not every overdue account results in dissolution. If your company has already received a strike-off notice or warning, the situation may require urgent attention and possibly separate legal advice. We do not guarantee that filing overdue accounts will prevent strike-off, but it is a crucial step in restoring compliance.
Preparing overdue accounts generally requires financial information for the relevant accounting period, such as bank statements, invoices, expense records and details of any income or assets. Where previous accounts exist, they can also be helpful. The exact documents needed depend on your company's circumstances and the reporting framework that applies.
A company can only use micro-entity accounts if it qualifies under the applicable size criteria and legal requirements. Qualifying as a micro-entity is not automatic, and eligibility must be assessed for the specific accounting period in question. If your company qualifies, micro-entity accounts may be a simpler filing option, but this must be confirmed rather than assumed.
We assist directors in Ayr by reviewing what is outstanding, preparing the statutory accounts required for each accounting period and helping to deliver them to Companies House. We also explain the process clearly, including any separate obligations such as confirmation statements or Corporation Tax returns, so you know exactly where you stand and what needs to be done.
