Overdue company accounts are statutory accounts that a company was required to deliver to Companies House by a specific deadline but has not yet filed. Once that deadline passes without the accounts being delivered, they are considered overdue. The filing requirements depend on the company's circumstances, including its accounting period and any exemptions that may apply.
Company accounts can become overdue for a variety of reasons. A director may not have realised a filing deadline had passed, there may have been a delay in preparing the financial information, or the company may have been inactive or dormant but still subject to filing obligations. Life and business pressures can also cause accounts to slip through the cracks.
Yes, if your company is required to file annual accounts with Companies House, the accounts still need to be delivered even if the deadline has passed. Filing overdue accounts is the key step in bringing your company back into compliance. The specific obligations depend on your company's status and whether any penalties have been issued.
Yes. Dormant companies often still have a legal obligation to file annual accounts with Companies House unless they qualify for an exemption. If the required accounts were not delivered by the deadline, those accounts become overdue. Dormancy does not automatically remove a company from its filing responsibilities.
If accounts are filed after the statutory deadline, Companies House may impose a late-filing penalty. The amount and whether a penalty is applied depend on the circumstances and how late the accounts are delivered. Paying any penalty does not remove the requirement to file the outstanding accounts. The accounts must still be prepared and submitted separately.
No. A late-filing penalty is a separate matter from the filing obligation itself. Even if a penalty is paid or not yet paid, the overdue accounts still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House. Filing the accounts and dealing with any penalty are two distinct requirements.
The information needed to prepare overdue accounts will depend on the company's circumstances and the accounting period involved. Generally, you may need bank statements, invoices, expense records, previous years' accounts, and details of any loans, share capital or other transactions. The accountant will confirm what is required based on the records available.
If your company meets the eligibility criteria for the micro-entity reporting framework, it may be possible to file micro-entity accounts for the relevant period. However, not every company qualifies, and the choice of accounting framework depends on the company's size, structure and the period in question. An accountant can review your details and prepare the appropriate accounts.
