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.
Overdue company accounts are annual accounts that should have been delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline but have not yet been filed. Every private limited company must normally deliver accounts for each accounting period. If the deadline passes and the accounts have not been submitted, the filing is considered overdue. The specific deadline depends on the company's accounting reference period and any applicable circumstances.
Yes. Even if a company is dormant and has not traded, it may still need to file annual accounts with Companies House. Dormancy does not automatically remove a company's filing obligation. A dormant company can therefore find itself with overdue accounts if the required accounts were not delivered by the deadline. It is worth checking your company's specific filing requirements rather than assuming that no accounts need to be filed.
If your company accounts are late, the first step is to find out exactly which accounting periods are outstanding and confirm the current status of your Companies House record. You should then prepare the required statutory accounts and file them as soon as possible. In many cases, working with an experienced accountant can help you move forward quickly and accurately, while ensuring you understand any penalties or other consequences that may apply.
Companies House can impose late-filing penalties where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. The penalty amount and whether a penalty applies at all will depend on the circumstances of the case, including how late the accounts are filed. There is no automatic guarantee that a penalty will be waived, and eligibility for any appeal depends on the specific circumstances and Companies House rules.
No. A late-filing penalty is a separate matter from the requirement to file the outstanding accounts. Paying a penalty does not remove the company's obligation to deliver its overdue accounts to Companies House. The accounts still need to be prepared and filed, and any penalty remains a separate consideration.
If a company has missed more than one accounting period, each overdue set of accounts will normally need to be prepared and filed separately. The company's Companies House record will remain non-compliant until every outstanding accounting period has been addressed. Specialist advice can be helpful in understanding the options and prioritising the filings correctly.
Yes. Micro Entity Accounts provides professional support to companies in Chesham that need to file overdue company accounts. We can review your outstanding filing obligations, help you prepare the appropriate statutory accounts, and guide you through the process of delivering them to Companies House. Where necessary, we can also advise on other compliance matters that may be linked to the late filing situation.
