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

Understanding Overdue Company Accounts and Your Filing Duties

Company accounts become overdue when the required statutory accounts have not been delivered to Companies House by the applicable filing deadline. Once that deadline passes, the accounts are considered late, and the company’s record with Companies House remains incomplete until the outstanding accounts are prepared and submitted. The exact deadline for your company depends on its accounting reference date and other circumstances, so it is not always the same as the deadline used by another business in Greater London or elsewhere. Directors should address overdue accounts promptly rather than waiting for further communication, because the longer accounts remain outstanding, the more complicated the situation can become. Depending on your company’s size, activity and eligibility, the accounts you need to file may be micro-entity accounts, small company accounts or another form of statutory accounts, and we can help you identify what applies to your situation.

─── 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 does it mean if my company accounts are overdue?

If your company has not delivered its statutory accounts to Companies House by the applicable filing deadline, those accounts are considered overdue. This means the required accounts are outstanding and your company's compliance record is not up to date. The situation does not resolve itself, and the accounts generally need to be prepared and filed to bring the company back into good standing. Every company's position is different, so it is worth checking exactly which periods remain outstanding.

Why would a company have overdue accounts in the first place?

There are many reasons why a company might miss a filing deadline. Common situations include the previous accountant not being instructed, records being lost or incomplete, the director believing the company was exempt because it was not trading, or simply losing track of the accounting reference date. Whatever the cause, the outstanding accounts still need to be addressed. We can review the history and help you work out what needs to be filed.

Does a dormant company still need to file overdue accounts?

Yes — a dormant company can still have overdue accounts if it missed its filing deadline. Dormancy does not automatically remove the requirement to deliver accounts to Companies House. Some dormant companies are eligible to file dormant accounts under the applicable provisions, but the same reporting requirement applies where the company is required to file. If you believe your company is dormant but accounts remain outstanding, it's important to check whether a filing obligation still exists.

What happens if I file my company accounts late?

When Companies House receives accounts after the statutory deadline, the late filing is recorded and a late-filing penalty may be issued. The amount of the penalty depends on how late the accounts are and other factors, so we cannot provide a general figure. Filing the overdue accounts does not automatically cancel a penalty, but it does address the outstanding filing itself. Our role is to prepare the accounts to the applicable standard so you are in a position to file them.

Can a late-filing penalty be removed or appealed?

In some circumstances, Companies House may consider a penalty appeal if there are reasonable grounds, but there is no automatic entitlement to have a penalty reduced or cancelled. Whether an appeal can be made depends on the specific facts and any supporting evidence. We can review the situation and explain the options available, but we cannot guarantee that Companies House will accept an appeal or remove the penalty.

What if my company has several years of overdue accounts?

Each accounting period that is still outstanding generally needs to be prepared and filed separately. So if your company has missed more than one deadline, you may need to bring multiple sets of accounts up to date. This can feel daunting, but we can help you work through the periods in order and prepare the relevant accounts for each one. It is also worth checking whether any confirmation statements are overdue as these are separate from accounts.

What information do you need to prepare overdue accounts?

The information required depends on the company's circumstances and the periods involved. Generally, we need details of the company's income, expenses, assets and liabilities, along with bank statements and any relevant records. If some records are missing, we can still advise on what can be done and what alternatives may be available. The most important step is to contact us so we can review the outstanding filings and confirm what information we need.
