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 It Mean When Company Accounts Are Overdue?

Every UK private limited company must normally send a set of statutory accounts to Companies House each year by the deadline relevant to its accounting period. For companies in Dartford, as elsewhere, that obligation applies regardless of whether the company has made a profit, traded actively, or indeed made no transactions at all. When the deadline passes and the accounts have not been delivered, they are described as overdue. Overdue accounts should not be ignored. Even if HM Revenue & Customs has already received a Corporation Tax Return, the Companies House filing is a separate responsibility. The exact consequences depend on the individual company’s situation, but in general, the longer the accounts remain unfiled, the more complicated the process can become. At Micro Entity Accounts, we help companies work out which filing framework applies, prepare the accounts that are needed, and deliver them to Companies House so the matter can be closed off.

─── 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.

Why are my company accounts considered overdue?

A set of company accounts becomes overdue once the statutory deadline for delivering them to Companies House has passed. That deadline is set following the company's accounting reference date and can differ from company to company. If you are a director in Dartford and are unsure whether your filing is late, we can check your specific deadline.

If my company is dormant, do I still need to file overdue accounts?

Yes, where the company is registered with Companies House and has not submitted the required accounts, dormancy alone does not remove the filing obligation. A dormant company may be entitled to claim certain exemptions, but it still needs to deliver accounts by the relevant deadline unless it is fully exempt. If your dormant company's accounts are overdue, they will still need to be prepared and submitted.

What are the penalties for filing company accounts late?

Companies House can issue a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the due date. The penalty amount is set by legislation and depends on how late the accounts are and whether it is a first or repeat offence. It is not possible to say exactly what penalty will apply without looking at the specific filing. It is also important to remember that paying any penalty does not remove the requirement to file the outstanding accounts.

I have several years of overdue accounts. Do they all have to be filed?

If more than one accounting period is outstanding, each set of accounts normally needs to be prepared and filed separately. Companies House expects to receive every overdue set of accounts for the periods concerned. Our accountants can help you work through each period and ensure you know exactly what documentation is needed.

What information does Micro Entity Accounts need to prepare my overdue accounts?

The exact information required depends on the company's activities and the period being filed. Typically, we will ask for bank statements, details of income and expenses, any loan or director transactions, and previous accounts or filing history. If you have lost some records, don't worry – we can advise on what alternatives are acceptable in your situation.

Will filing my overdue accounts stop Companies House from striking off my company?

Filing overdue accounts is an important step in putting your record right, but it does not automatically stop a strike-off or restoration process if that is already underway. Companies House can take action against companies that persistently fail to file, and if your company has already received a warning, the position can be more complex. We can help you understand your options and advise on the next steps, which may, where necessary, require separate professional advice.

Are Corporation Tax Returns part of the overdue company accounts process?

No. Company accounts filed with Companies House are separate from Corporation Tax Returns submitted to HMRC. Even if your company is late filing its accounts with Companies House, its Corporation Tax Return for the same period may have been submitted, or it may also be outstanding. Both obligations need to be considered separately. As accountants, we can assist with both matters where requested.

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

If your company qualifies as a micro-entity under the Companies Act, you can prepare its accounts under the micro-entity framework. However, not every small company automatically qualifies, and the decision depends on the size limits and legal structure. We will review your company's eligibility before preparing the accounts for an overdue filing.
