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

Understanding Overdue Company Accounts and What to Do Next

Every limited company with a duty to file accounts must deliver its statutory accounts to Companies House by the relevant deadline. When that date passes without the accounts being submitted, they become overdue. This can happen for many reasons—pressure of day-to-day trading, misplaced records, or simply not realising that a dormant or non-trading company may still have filing obligations. Whatever the cause, overdue accounts should not be left unaddressed. The exact requirements depend on the company’s size, activity and accounting period, and Companies House can impose late-filing penalties or take further action where a company persistently fails to meet its obligations. Directors in Chorleywood who find themselves in this position typically need to prepare and file each outstanding set of accounts, using the reporting framework that applies to their circumstances.

─── 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 are overdue company accounts?

Overdue company accounts are annual accounts that a limited company was required to deliver to Companies House by a statutory deadline, but which were not filed in time. If the deadline has passed and Companies House has not received the accounts, the filing is overdue. The company may then face late-filing penalties or other enforcement action, but the obligation to file the accounts still remains.

Why might a company have overdue accounts?

There are many reasons, such as changes in staff, loss of records, health issues, or because the company stopped trading and the director assumed filing was no longer needed. However, even dormant companies can have filing obligations. Whatever the reason, ignoring the problem usually makes it worse, so it is sensible to speak with an accountant promptly once you realise accounts are late.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormant companies often still need to deliver annual accounts to Companies House, even if the accounts contain minimal information. If the filing deadline passes without the accounts being filed, those accounts become overdue. Dormancy does not automatically remove the filing requirement, although reduced disclosure options may be available depending on the company’s circumstances.

Will Companies House impose a late-filing penalty for overdue accounts?

Companies House can issue a late-filing penalty whenever accounts are received after the applicable deadline. The amount and whether a penalty applies can depend on how late the accounts are, and each case is different. Directors should check the specific late-filing penalty rules, as paying a penalty does not remove the duty to file the outstanding accounts.

Does paying the late-filing penalty mean I no longer need to file the overdue accounts?

No. Paying a penalty is a separate matter from delivering the statutory accounts. Even if the penalty is paid, the company must still file the overdue accounts with Companies House. An accountant can prepare the accounts so that you can submit them and end the ongoing failure to file.

Are overdue company accounts the same as a confirmation statement?

No. A confirmation statement is a separate filing with Companies House that confirms the company’s registered details and is generally required once a year. Overdue company accounts refer specifically to annual statutory accounts that need to be filed. Preparing and filing overdue accounts does not automatically satisfy any outstanding confirmation statement obligation.

What happens if my company has more than one accounting period of overdue accounts?

Each accounting period that has passed its deadline normally requires its own set of accounts and its own filing with Companies House. If several years are overdue, each period must be prepared and filed separately. Providing the necessary financial information for each period is important, and an accountant can help determine exactly which years are outstanding and what records are needed.

How can Micro Entity Accounts assist with overdue company accounts in Chorleywood?

We review your company’s filing record, explain what is required, and work to bring matters up to date.
