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

What does it mean when company accounts are overdue?

Company accounts generally need to be delivered to Companies House by the statutory deadline for each accounting period. When that deadline passes without the required accounts being filed, the accounts become overdue. Even if a company is dormant or has not traded recently, its filing obligations may still apply. Overdue accounts should be addressed promptly, as Companies House keeps a public record of a company’s filing history. The specific requirements and any consequences depend on the company’s circumstances, including how late the accounts are and whether other filings are outstanding. If you are a director of a company based in Burntwood and your accounts have not been filed on time, it is important to review your position without delay.

─── 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 statutory accounts that should have been delivered to Companies House by the applicable filing deadline but were not filed on time. Once the deadline has passed, the accounts are considered overdue. The specific deadline can depend on your company's accounting reference period and other circumstances, so it is important to check the dates that apply to your company.

Why do company accounts become overdue?

Accounts can become overdue for many reasons, such as missing paperwork, changes in accounting software, illness, pressure of day-to-day business, or simply losing track of the filing date. Whatever the reason, the accounts remain outstanding until they are delivered to Companies House or the company is otherwise relieved of the obligation, for example if it is dissolved. It is important to deal with overdue accounts rather than leave them unresolved.

Do I still need to file accounts if the deadline has passed?

Yes, in most cases the accounts are still required. Filing accounts late does not remove the need to file them. Each outstanding accounting period will need to be addressed separately, and Companies House will typically expect the missing accounts to be delivered even if a late-filing penalty has been applied. If you are uncertain about your obligations, a specialist can review your company's position.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. A dormant company can still have a filing obligation for its annual accounts, depending on its circumstances and the applicable exemptions. Dormancy does not automatically remove the requirement to file accounts with Companies House. If a dormant company misses its filing deadline, its accounts become overdue in the same way as any other company's.

What happens if my company files accounts late?

If accounts are delivered to Companies House after the statutory deadline, the company may receive a late-filing penalty. The exact penalty depends on how late the accounts are and the company's circumstances. It is also worth noting that a penalty does not cancel the underlying filing obligation. Persistent late filing can damage the company's compliance record and may lead to further action by Companies House.

Will I automatically receive a late-filing penalty?

Companies House may impose a late-filing penalty if the accounts are not delivered by the deadline. Whether a penalty is issued and how much it is will depend on the circumstances, including how late the filing is. There is no guarantee that a penalty will be waived, although in certain situations a company may be able to appeal if it believes there were reasonable grounds for the delay.

My company has more than one set of overdue accounts. What should I do?

If more than one accounting period is outstanding, each set of accounts will generally need to be prepared and filed separately. This can be more involved, so it is sensible to seek professional assistance to ensure the accounts are prepared correctly and submitted to Companies House. A specialist accountant can help you prioritise the filing and manage the process.

What information is needed to prepare overdue accounts?

The information required will depend on the company's circumstances and the periods being filed. Common items include bank statements, invoices and receipts, previous accounts, payroll records, and any other financial records relevant to the period. If records are incomplete, we can help you work out what is available and what may need to be reconstructed. The more information you can provide, the smoother the process is likely to be.

Can overdue accounts be prepared using the micro-entity framework?

If your company qualifies as a micro-entity for the relevant accounting period, it may be able to prepare its accounts using the micro-entity framework and file them with Companies House. Eligibility depends on meeting the qualifying conditions for that period. Not every small company automatically qualifies, so it is important to confirm which reporting framework applies to your overdue accounts.

Are Corporation Tax Returns separate from overdue company accounts?

Yes. Statutory company accounts are filed with Companies House, while a Corporation Tax Return (such as the CT600) is generally submitted to HMRC where applicable. Filing overdue accounts with Companies House does not automatically satisfy HMRC obligations. A company may need to deal with both matters separately to bring its compliance fully up to date.

How can Micro Entity Accounts help with overdue company accounts?

We can review your company's filing position, prepare the outstanding statutory accounts in the appropriate format, and assist with delivering them to Companies House. We can also help you understand whether you need to deal with any separate obligations, such as confirmation statements or Corporation Tax matters. Our aim is to make the process of catching up on overdue accounts as straightforward as possible for directors in Burntwood.
