If your company's annual accounts have not been delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline, they are considered overdue. The deadline depends on your company's accounting reference date and other circumstances. Once the deadline passes, the outstanding accounts remain due, and you are still required to file them.
Yes. Overdue accounts do not go away, and the legal filing obligation remains. Even if the filing deadline has passed, Companies House still requires the statutory accounts to be delivered. Leaving them outstanding can lead to late-filing penalties and further enforcement action, so it is important to bring the filing up to date.
Yes. Dormant companies may still be required to file annual accounts with Companies House, depending on their circumstances. Dormancy does not automatically exempt a company from filing, and if the applicable deadline has passed without delivery, the accounts will be overdue. We can help dormant companies determine what filings are needed.
If accounts are delivered after the statutory deadline, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty. The penalty amount depends on how late the accounts are and can increase over time. Importantly, paying a penalty does not replace the need to file the outstanding accounts. Each company's situation is assessed individually.
No. A late-filing penalty is separate from the legal requirement to deliver accounts to Companies House. Even if a penalty is paid or disputed, the overdue accounts must still be prepared and filed. Our role is to help you complete the filing so that your company's record is brought up to date.
Each outstanding accounting period will normally need to be addressed separately. This means preparing a set of statutory accounts for each period and filing them with Companies House. The information required will depend on the specific periods involved. We can review what is outstanding and help you work through each filing in a clear order.
Yes. Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House, while Corporation Tax Returns (such as the CT600) are submitted to HMRC. Overdue accounts at Companies House do not automatically satisfy Corporation Tax obligations, and vice versa. We can advise on the difference between these compliance duties and assist with the appropriate filings.
Yes. Micro Entity Accounts can assist directors and companies in Christchurch with overdue company accounts preparation and filing. We will review your company's filing history, determine which accounts are outstanding and help you submit them to Companies House, subject to the applicable requirements.
