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

Overdue Company Accounts in Kirkcaldy: What Directors Should Know

Company accounts must normally be delivered to Companies House by the statutory deadline that applies to your company. If that deadline passes without the required accounts being delivered, the accounts become overdue. This can happen for a number of reasons, such as losing track of filing dates, incomplete financial records, or changes in accounting arrangements. Once accounts are overdue, the filing requirement does not simply disappear. The longer they remain outstanding, the more likely it is that consequences may follow, including late-filing penalties imposed by Companies House. The specific obligations, the type of accounts required and any applicable penalties depend on your company’s circumstances, including its size, accounting period and reporting framework. Addressing overdue accounts promptly is the right first step for any director who wants to bring the company back into compliance.

─── 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 when my company accounts are overdue?

When your company accounts are overdue, it means that the accounts have not been delivered to Companies House by the statutory filing deadline applicable to that accounting period. The exact deadline can depend on your company's circumstances, such as its accounting reference date and whether it is a first filing. Even if accounts remain overdue, the obligation to file them generally continues, so it is important to address the situation as soon as possible.

Why might company accounts become overdue?

There are many reasons why a company may end up with overdue accounts. Common causes include losing track of filing deadlines, incomplete bookkeeping records, delays with a previous accountant, changes in accounting software or staff, or simply not realising that dormant companies can still have filing obligations. Whatever the reason, once the deadline has passed, the accounts are considered overdue and action is required.

Do I still need to file overdue accounts?

Yes, in most cases overdue accounts still need to be filed with Companies House. The filing requirement does not disappear simply because the deadline has passed. The type of accounts required and the reporting framework depend on your company's size and accounting period. It is wise to seek professional advice to determine what applies to your particular situation.

Can dormant companies have overdue accounts?

Yes. A dormant company can have overdue accounts if it has failed to file its accounts by the applicable deadline. Dormancy does not automatically remove the obligation to file accounts, although the content of the accounts may differ from those of a trading company. Whether accounts are overdue depends on whether the required delivery to Companies House has been made, not simply on whether the company has traded.

What happens if my accounts are filed late?

If accounts are delivered to Companies House after the statutory deadline, they will be treated as late. Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty, and the amount can depend on how late the accounts are and the company's specific circumstances. Filing the overdue accounts does not automatically remove or cancel a penalty, but taking action to file the accounts is still necessary.

What should I do if I have more than one year of outstanding accounts?

If your company has more than one outstanding accounting period, multiple sets of accounts may need to be prepared and filed. Dealing with each period separately is usually required, and filing one set of accounts will not automatically resolve all the outstanding periods. Professional assistance can help you establish the requirements for each year and manage the process systematically.

Is a confirmation statement the same as overdue accounts?

No. A confirmation statement is a separate filing submitted to Companies House and is not the same as your annual accounts. Filing overdue accounts does not replace the need to file a confirmation statement where one is due. If your confirmation statement is also outstanding, this is a separate compliance matter that may need to be addressed alongside your overdue accounts.

Do overdue accounts need to be filed with HMRC as a Corporation Tax Return?

Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House, while Corporation Tax Returns, such as the CT600, are submitted to HMRC where applicable. These are separate obligations. Submitting overdue accounts to Companies House does not automatically satisfy any Corporation Tax filing requirement you may have with HMRC. It is important to understand which filings apply to your company and to deal with them appropriately.
