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.

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

Understanding Overdue Company Accounts and Your Filing Obligations

Company accounts become overdue when the required statutory accounts have not been delivered to Companies House by the applicable filing deadline. For many Co Durham limited companies, that deadline is set by the company’s accounting reference date, but each company is different. When the deadline passes, the accounts are late and remain outstanding until they are filed. Directors should not assume that a non-trading or dormant company has no filing requirement — even dormant companies may have obligations to deliver accounts. The longer accounts remain outstanding, the more there is to resolve, so it makes sense to address the position as soon as possible. The exact steps involved depend on the company’s circumstances, including how many accounting periods are outstanding and the reporting framework that applies.

─── 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 statutory accounts that were required to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable deadline but were not sent on time. The filing deadline depends on the company's accounting reference period and other circumstances, so the exact date will vary from company to company. Once the deadline has passed, the accounts remain overdue until they are correctly prepared and delivered to Companies House.

My company is dormant. Can it still have overdue accounts?

Yes. Even a dormant company may have a legal obligation to deliver annual accounts to Companies House, depending on its circumstances and exemptions. Dormancy does not automatically remove the filing requirement. If the deadline passes without the required accounts being filed, the accounts become overdue. If you're unsure whether your dormant company needs to file, it's worth reviewing its obligations carefully.

What happens if company accounts are filed late?

If accounts are delivered late, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty. The amount of the penalty depends on how late the accounts are and when the filing deadline fell. Filing overdue accounts does not automatically cancel any penalty that has already been imposed. Directors should address the late filing and deal with any penalty matter separately, depending on the circumstances.

Does paying a penalty remove the need to file the overdue accounts?

No. A late-filing penalty is separate from the requirement to file accounts. Paying a penalty does not remove the obligation to prepare and deliver the outstanding statutory accounts to Companies House. Even if a penalty applies, the overdue accounts must still be filed so the company can return to a compliant position.

What if my company has several years of overdue accounts?

When more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period may need to be addressed separately. Multiple sets of annual accounts may need to be prepared and filed to bring the company's Companies House record up to date. The specific filing requirements and the appropriate reporting framework will depend on the company's circumstances and the length of time involved.

Can any company use micro-entity accounts to file overdue accounts?

No. Micro-entity accounts can only be prepared on the micro-entity reporting framework if the company meets the qualifying criteria for that framework under the Companies Act. Eligibility depends on factors such as turnover, balance sheet total, number of employees and the company's legal structure. If a company does not qualify, it may need to use small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts. A professional review of the company's position will help determine the correct framework.

Are the overdue accounts filed with Companies House also my CT600 Corporation Tax Return?

No. The statutory accounts filed with Companies House are separate from the Corporation Tax Return (CT600) that must be submitted to HMRC. Preparing and filing overdue accounts with Companies House does not automatically satisfy any outstanding Corporation Tax obligations. If your company also needs to file a CT600, this is a separate matter that may need to be resolved with HMRC.

How can Micro Entity Accounts help with overdue company accounts in Co Durham?

We work with directors in Co Durham to understand their situation, gather the necessary financial records, and bring overdue accounts up to date as efficiently as possible.
