Overdue accounts catch-up for Edinburgh companies
When accounts stay overdue, Companies House adds penalties, can start the process of striking the company off the register and, in serious cases, can prosecute directors. HMRC works separately: if you ignore a notice to file a Corporation Tax return it can charge tax-geared penalties and estimate the tax you owe.

Overdue company accounts for Edinburgh businesses: local facts
Edinburgh is in the City of Edinburgh council area, in Scotland. In City of Edinburgh, 15,985 of the 18,635 VAT- and PAYE-registered businesses in the 2026 ONS count have fewer than ten employees, around 86%. If you run a company in Edinburgh, you are in good company.
The largest groups of micro businesses in City of Edinburgh are professional, scientific and technical services (3,240), wholesale and retail (1,820) and construction (1,555). If you work in professional, scientific and technical services in Edinburgh, fee income, work in progress at the year end and how directors are paid are the key decisions, so we plan these with you before the accounts are finalised. That puts professional, scientific and technical services at 20% of the local micro-business base.
City of Edinburgh ranks 149 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 86% is below the 89% average across them. In wholesale and retail (1,820 micro businesses in City of Edinburgh), closing stock and the VAT treatment of different product lines are the usual pressure points, so we value stock carefully and check your VAT records. In construction (1,555 micro businesses in City of Edinburgh), Construction Industry Scheme deductions, retentions and stage payments can distort profit, so we reconcile your CIS statements before the accounts are prepared.
Scottish companies are registered with Companies House in the same way as English ones and the filing deadlines are identical. Scottish income tax bands apply to salary, but dividends and Corporation Tax follow UK rules.
