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 Overdue Company Accounts Mean?

Company accounts become overdue when they are not delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline. The exact deadline can depend on your company’s accounting reference period and its individual circumstances, so it is not possible to point to one universal date. Once the deadline has passed without the required accounts being delivered, the accounts are considered outstanding. If you are a director of a company in Christchurch Dorset with overdue accounts, it is wise to address the matter promptly. The longer accounts remain outstanding, the more serious the potential consequences may become, and Companies House can take action against companies that fail to meet their filing obligations. Whether a company is required to prepare micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another form of statutory accounts will depend on its size, legal structure and the reporting framework that applies. Even dormant companies can have overdue filing obligations if the required accounts were not submitted on time. Seeking professional help with overdue company accounts filing in Christchurch Dorset can give you a clear picture of what still needs to be filed and how to bring your company’s record up to date.

─── 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 is an overdue company account?

An overdue company account is a set of statutory accounts that should have been delivered to Companies House by the applicable filing deadline but was not. The deadline depends on your company's accounting reference period and other circumstances. Once the deadline passes without the accounts being delivered, the filing is considered late and the accounts become overdue.

Why might my company accounts have become overdue?

There are many reasons why company accounts become overdue. A director may have been unaware of the filing deadline, the company may have stopped trading, records may have been misplaced, or there may have been personal difficulties. Whatever the reason, it is important to address the outstanding filing as soon as possible rather than ignoring it.

Do I still need to file overdue accounts even if my company is dormant?

Yes, in most cases. Dormant companies can still have annual accounts filing obligations with Companies House. Dormancy does not automatically remove the requirement to file accounts. If the deadline has passed and the required accounts were not delivered, the accounts will be overdue and will still need to be filed, depending on the company's circumstances.

Will Companies House impose a late-filing penalty?

Companies House can impose late-filing penalties when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. The penalty amount and whether one applies will depend on how late the accounts are filed and the company's circumstances. Paying any penalty does not remove the requirement to file the outstanding accounts.

I have more than one accounting period outstanding. Can you help with all of them?

Yes. If your company has multiple overdue accounting periods, each period will generally need to be addressed separately. This means preparing and filing a separate set of accounts for each outstanding period where required. We can review your situation and explain what needs to be done for each accounting period.

What information do I need to provide for overdue accounts preparation?

The information required depends on your company's circumstances and the accounting period being prepared. In many cases, we will need bank statements, invoices, expense records, details of any income or expenditure, and previous accounts if they exist. If records are incomplete, we can discuss what is available and advise on the next steps.

Can I use micro-entity accounts for my overdue filing?

Micro-entity accounts can be used for overdue filing only if your company qualifies for the micro-entity reporting framework under the applicable regulations. Qualifying depends on your company's size, legal structure and accounting period. Not every small company automatically qualifies, so we will need to review the relevant criteria before determining whether micro-entity accounts are appropriate.

Is filing overdue accounts the same as filing a Corporation Tax Return?

No. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as the CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable. These are separate compliance obligations. Filing your overdue accounts with Companies House does not automatically satisfy your Corporation Tax filing requirements with HMRC, and vice versa.
