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.

The work was completed promptly, my tax return was successfully filed, and I received a refund of overpaid tax. I found the cooperation efficient and helpful. Special thanks to Muhammad Saifullah for his assistance.

 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 Overdue Company Accounts Filing Mean?

Every limited company normally has to deliver annual accounts to Companies House by the statutory deadline for its accounting period. That deadline can depend on factors such as the length of the period, whether the accounts are for the company’s first year, and the company’s individual circumstances. When the deadline passes without the required accounts being delivered, those accounts become overdue. Even if your company has been dormant, has not traded recently, or has no current income, the obligation to file may still remain. The longer overdue accounts are left, the more complex it can become to bring filing history up to date, and companies that persistently miss deadlines may face more serious consequences. However, each situation is different, and the appropriate accounts depend on the company’s size and reporting framework. At Micro Entity Accounts, we can help you determine exactly which accounts are outstanding and assist in preparing and filing them correctly.

─── 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 does it mean if my company accounts are overdue?

It means the statutory deadline for delivering your accounts to Companies House has passed and the required accounts have not been filed. The exact deadline depends on your company's accounting reference period and other circumstances, so it is not the same for every company. When accounts are overdue, they remain an outstanding filing obligation.

Do dormant companies have to file overdue accounts?

Yes, dormant companies can still have a duty to file annual accounts with Companies House. Dormancy does not automatically exempt a company from filing. If a dormant company has missed its deadline, the accounts are overdue and should still be prepared and filed where required.

What happens if I file my accounts late?

Companies House may impose a late-filing penalty, and the amount can vary depending on how late the accounts are delivered. Importantly, paying any penalty does not remove the need to file the outstanding accounts. Your company must still deliver the overdue accounts to Companies House.

Can overdue accounts cause my company to be struck off?

Persistent non-compliance with filing obligations can increase the risk of Companies House taking strike-off action, but an overdue filing alone does not automatically remove a company from the register. If you've received a warning or a strike-off notice, the situation may require urgent advice and separate action from simply filing the accounts.

What information do you need to prepare overdue accounts for my company?

The information required depends on the period being prepared and the company's records. Typically we ask for bank statements, supplier invoices, sales records, previous accounts and details of any share or loan activity. Every company is different, and we can confirm exactly what we need after an initial conversation.

Can I file micro-entity accounts if my accounts are overdue?

Some companies can use micro-entity accounts, but only if they qualify under the relevant eligibility criteria. It is not the case that every small or overdue company can automatically file as a micro-entity. We review each company's circumstances and use the appropriate reporting framework.

Is a Corporation Tax Return separate from overdue company accounts?

Yes. Annual accounts are filed with Companies House, while Corporation Tax Returns such as the CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable. If both are outstanding, they need to be dealt with separately. Filing your overdue accounts with Companies House will not automatically satisfy HMRC.
