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 Are Overdue Company Accounts and Why Do They Matter?

When your company’s annual accounts are not delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline, they become overdue. This can happen for many reasons: a change in accounting reference date, a lost reminder, pressure of day-to-day business, or uncertainty about what is actually required. While the immediate trigger is the missed deadline, the wider issue is that your company still needs to deliver those accounts to Companies House, depending on its circumstances. Leaving overdue accounts unaddressed can create further compliance risks, including late-filing penalties and action against the company record. The requirements and consequences are not the same for every company, so it is important to look at what applies in your situation rather than assuming one outcome fits all.

─── 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 are overdue company accounts?

Company accounts become overdue when they are not delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory filing deadline. Most private limited companies are required to file annual accounts each year, although the exact form and deadline can depend on the company's size, accounting period and reporting requirements. If the deadline has passed and Companies House has not received the accounts, they are considered overdue.

Are annual accounts still required if the company is dormant?

Yes, in many cases. Dormant companies may still need to file accounts with Companies House, depending on their circumstances. Being dormant does not automatically remove the obligation to file annual accounts. If a dormant company has missed its deadline, the accounts are overdue just as they would be for a trading company, so it is important to check what filing obligations actually apply.

Will we automatically receive a late-filing penalty if our accounts are late?

Companies House may issue late-filing penalties for accounts delivered after the applicable deadline. Whether a penalty is imposed and the amount involved will depend on the specific circumstances and how late the accounts are delivered. While a penalty may be applied, it is important to remember that filing the outstanding accounts is a separate requirement, and paying a penalty does not remove the obligation to file.

What happens if my company has several outstanding accounting periods?

If more than one accounting period remains outstanding, each set of annual accounts will generally need to be prepared and filed separately. The company may also need to consider whether there are any Companies House notices or strike-off warnings, and it should address each outstanding period. Filing one year's accounts does not automatically resolve earlier periods, so professional guidance can help you identify all outstanding obligations.

Could overdue accounts lead to action against the company?

Persistent failure to file accounts can lead to more serious consequences. Companies House may take steps against a company that repeatedly misses its filing obligations, and in some cases this could eventually lead to compulsory strike-off action. However, not every company with overdue accounts is automatically at risk of dissolution. The specific circumstances, including how far the accounts are behind and the company's compliance history, will affect what happens next.

What information do we need to provide for overdue accounts?

The documentation required will depend on the company's own records and the accounting periods that need to be filed. Commonly, this may include bank statements, invoices, receipts, previous accounts and details of any loans or director transactions. If some records are missing, an accountant can discuss the most practical way to reconstruct the necessary information.

Are Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements separate from overdue accounts?

Yes. Annual accounts are filed with Companies House, while a Corporation Tax Return such as a CT600 may need to be submitted to HMRC depending on the company's tax obligations. A confirmation statement is also delivered to Companies House, and it is separate from the annual accounts. Bringing overdue company accounts up to date does not automatically deal with any outstanding Corporation Tax returns or confirmation statements, so these must be considered separately.
