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

Why it matters when company accounts are overdue

Every UK limited company must normally send its annual accounts to Companies House by a set deadline. That deadline is based on the company’s accounting reference date, so it is not always the same for every business. When the deadline passes without the accounts being delivered, those accounts are considered overdue. Overdue accounts do not simply stop being required. Directors still have a legal duty to file them, and Companies House can impose late-filing penalties on companies that miss their deadlines. It is usually wise to bring overdue filings up to date as soon as possible because the longer accounts remain outstanding, the greater the disruption to the company’s compliance record may become. That said, the specific consequences and the steps needed will depend on the company’s own circumstances, including how many periods are outstanding and whether the company is dormant.

─── 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 overdue company accounts?

Company accounts become overdue when the statutory annual accounts for a company are not delivered to Companies House by the applicable filing deadline. The deadline can depend on the company's accounting reference date and other circumstances, so it is important to check the exact due date rather than assuming a standard grace period applies to every company.

What are the consequences of filing company accounts late?

If accounts are filed after the deadline, Companies House can issue a late-filing penalty. The amount of the penalty can vary depending on how late the accounts are and the company's size at the time. Paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to file the accounts, so the outstanding filing still needs to be completed. Ongoing non-compliance can also lead to further action, but each case is assessed individually.

My company is dormant — do I still need to file overdue annual accounts?

Yes, in many cases a dormant company still needs to send annual accounts to Companies House, even if it has no financial activity. Dormancy does not automatically exempt a company from its filing responsibilities. If the accounts were not delivered by the deadline, they will be overdue and should be filed as soon as possible.

Can I file several years of overdue accounts at once?

If more than one accounting period is outstanding, each set of overdue accounts will need to be prepared and filed for the relevant period. Companies House may expect each filing to be submitted in the correct order. With professional help, multiple overdue years can be addressed systematically, but the exact process will depend on how many periods are outstanding and the company's records.

Will paying a late-filing penalty clear the overdue accounts?

No. A late-filing penalty is a separate matter from the obligation to deliver annual accounts. Even if a penalty is paid, the overdue accounts must still be prepared and filed with Companies House. You may also be entitled to appeal a penalty in appropriate circumstances, but that does not remove the underlying filing requirement.

What information do I need to provide to help prepare overdue accounts?

To prepare overdue accounts, your accountant will typically need the company's bank statements, income and expense records, details of any outstanding invoices, previous accounts and information about company transactions for the relevant period. The exact documents required will depend on the company's size, activity and the accounting framework being used.

Are confirmation statements part of overdue company accounts filing?

No. A confirmation statement is a separate document that Companies House requires from each company at least once every 12 months. It confirms the company's registered office, directors, shareholders and other details. Filing overdue accounts does not automatically update your confirmation statement, so you may need to deal with it separately if it is also due.

Can Micro Entity Accounts help if my company is facing a strike-off notice?

We can review your position and assist with preparing and filing overdue accounts. However, if Companies House has already issued a strike-off notice or your company has been dissolved, additional steps such as an objection or restoration may be needed. In those cases you may also require legal or specialist advice. We can help where overdue accounts filing is part of bringing the company back into compliance.
