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 Having Overdue Company Accounts Really Mean?

Company accounts become overdue when they are not delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline. This can happen for many reasons — pressure of day-to-day trading, a change of accountant, or simply losing track of filing dates. Once the deadline has passed, the company’s filing position becomes increasingly complicated, and it is important not to ignore the situation. Filing obligations apply to most active companies, and even dormant companies normally have to deliver accounts each year unless an exemption applies. The exact requirements and any consequences will depend on the company’s circumstances, including its accounting reference date and how late the accounts are. Addressing overdue accounts promptly and professionally can help you regain control and avoid further complications. At Micro Entity Accounts, we regularly assist companies in Crowborough with preparing and filing outstanding statutory accounts, so you do not have to face the process alone.

─── 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 counts as an overdue company account?

An overdue company account is a set of statutory accounts that should have been delivered to Companies House by a specific deadline but was not. The filing deadline is normally based on the company's accounting reference date, though this can vary depending on the accounting period and the company's circumstances. Once the deadline passes, the relevant accounts are considered overdue.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes, a dormant company can still have overdue accounts. Dormant companies are usually required to file confirmation statements and, in many cases, annual accounts with Companies House unless a specific exemption applies. Being dormant does not automatically remove the filing requirement, and if the deadline has been missed, the accounts will be overdue.

What happens if I file my company accounts late?

If you deliver your accounts after the applicable deadline, Companies House will typically consider them to be late. This can result in a late-filing penalty, and the amount may increase the longer the accounts remain outstanding. Filing the accounts late does not remove the need to file them, and any penalty is separate from the requirement to deliver the statutory accounts.

Will Companies House impose a penalty if my accounts are overdue?

Companies House has the power to impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the relevant deadline. Whether a penalty applies, and how much it will be, depends on the specific circumstances, such as how late the accounts are and the company's filing history. We cannot guarantee that a penalty will not be charged, but we can help you prepare and file the overdue accounts correctly.

I have more than one year of overdue accounts. What should I do?

If your company has missed several accounting periods, each set of accounts will normally need to be prepared and filed separately. It is important to address every outstanding period, as filing just one year will not resolve the others. We can review your company's file and work through the years in a logical order, helping you meet each filing obligation as required.

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

If your company qualifies for the micro-entity reporting framework, it may be possible to prepare and file accounts using that format. Eligibility depends on factors such as the company's size, turnover and balance sheet total, and not every company will qualify. We will review your circumstances and prepare the accounts in the appropriate format for each accounting period.

Is a CT600 Corporation Tax Return the same as overdue company accounts?

No, they are separate obligations. Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House, while a CT600 Corporation Tax Return is submitted to HMRC where applicable. Filing overdue accounts with Companies House does not automatically satisfy your Corporation Tax filing responsibilities, and vice versa. If you have both overdue, we can provide support on the Companies House side and help you understand what may still be required by HMRC.

What information do I need to provide to have overdue accounts prepared?

The information required will depend on your company's circumstances and the accounting period being prepared. Generally, we will need bank statements, invoices, expense records and any previous accounts or accounting records available. If some documents are missing, we can guide you on what to do and which records can be reconstructed. The most important step is to get started.
