If your company's annual accounts have not been delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline, they are considered overdue. This means the required accounts remain outstanding, and you are still legally obliged to file them unless the company has been dissolved or otherwise exempted. It is important to address overdue accounts as soon as possible, as late filing can lead to penalties and further compliance issues.
Accounts can become overdue for a variety of reasons, such as misplacing financial records, dealing with personal issues, or simply not fully understanding the filing requirements. Sometimes a director may believe the company is dormant or exempt from filing, but that is not always the case. Regardless of the reason, the accounts still need to be prepared and filed with Companies House, and we can help you work through the process.
Yes. Dormancy does not automatically remove a company's obligation to file annual accounts. A dormant company may still need to deliver certain accounts to Companies House each year, and if that deadline is missed, the accounts become overdue. The requirement depends on the company's specific circumstances, so it is important to check what filing obligations actually apply.
Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. The amount and whether a penalty is applied depend on the circumstances and how late the accounts are filed. Paying any penalty does not remove the requirement to file the outstanding accounts. We can review your situation and explain what you might expect, but we cannot guarantee that a penalty will be reduced or cancelled.
Some companies are eligible to prepare micro-entity accounts under the micro-entity reporting framework, but this depends on the company's size, structure, and accounting period. Not every overdue company automatically qualifies. It is important to determine the correct reporting framework before preparing overdue accounts, and we can help assess your eligibility.
Typically, we need the company's banking records, details of income and expenses, and information about any assets or liabilities for the relevant accounting period. Previous accounts, confirmation statements, and company details may also be helpful. The exact information required depends on the company's circumstances and which accounting periods are outstanding. We will guide you through what is needed.
We can prepare the outstanding statutory accounts in accordance with the applicable reporting framework and file them with Companies House. We also review your Companies House filing history to identify any other overdue obligations, such as confirmation statements, and clearly explain the process. Our aim is to make bringing your accounts up to date as straightforward as possible for Cambridgeshire companies.
