Overdue company accounts filing in Evesham

Overdue accounts catch-up for Evesham 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.
