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.

 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 Overdue Company Accounts Filing in Lanark Needs Prompt Attention

For a limited company, annual accounts must normally be delivered to Companies House by the deadline linked to the company’s accounting reference period. When that deadline passes without the accounts being submitted, the accounts are officially overdue. There are many reasons why this can happen – a missed reminder, changes in the company’s situation, incomplete financial records, or simply losing track of the filing date. Even a dormant company can have an annual filing obligation, so the absence of trading activity does not automatically mean nothing needs to be filed. Tackling overdue accounts without delay is important because the longer the filing remains outstanding, the greater the risk of a late-filing penalty and further compliance action. The exact requirements and consequences depend on the company’s own circumstances, which is why it is best to seek professional advice from an accountant experienced in Overdue Company Accounts Filing in Lanark.

─── 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 exactly are 'overdue company accounts'?

Every limited company must file annual accounts with Companies House for each accounting period, unless an exemption applies. A filing deadline is set based on the company's accounting reference date. If the accounts are not delivered by that deadline, they become overdue company accounts. The practical effect is that your company has missed a statutory filing obligation, and action is needed to submit the outstanding accounts as soon as possible.

My company is dormant – can its accounts still be overdue?

Yes. Dormant companies are often still required to file annual accounts with Companies House, although the exact requirements depend on whether the company qualifies for any exemption. Being dormant does not automatically remove the obligation to deliver accounts by the applicable deadline. If a dormant company misses that deadline, its accounts will be overdue in the same way as for an active company.

What happens if I don't file overdue accounts?

Leaving overdue accounts unfiled means your company remains in breach of its filing obligations. Companies House can issue a late-filing penalty, and ongoing non-compliance can have more serious consequences, including the risk of strike-off action. However, every case is different. The most important first step is to identify which periods are outstanding and then arrange for the accounts to be prepared and delivered.

If a late-filing penalty has been issued, do I still need to file the accounts?

Yes. A late-filing penalty is separate from the obligation to file the actual accounts. Paying a penalty does not satisfy the underlying filing requirement. You must still prepare and deliver the overdue accounts to Companies House. An accountant can help you complete the filing, but they cannot guarantee that a penalty will not apply or be imposed.

Several years of accounts are overdue – can you help with all of them?

Yes. If your company has missed more than one accounting period, each period will need its own set of accounts, and you may need to file every outstanding year before the company can be considered fully compliant. The work involved depends on how many years are missing and what financial records are available for each year. Micro Entity Accounts can review your filing history and assist you in preparing and filing the accounts for each overdue period.

Can a company be struck off because of overdue accounts?

Companies House has the power to take action against companies that persistently fail to file accounts. Repeated non-compliance can lead to compulsory strike-off, but not every company with overdue accounts will be dissolved automatically. If you have received a formal notice from Companies House or a strike-off warning, it is essential to act quickly, and you may also need advice on restoration if the company has already been struck off.

Are Corporation Tax returns and confirmation statements the same as overdue accounts?

No. Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House, while Corporation Tax returns (usually on a CT600 form) are sent to HMRC where required. A confirmation statement is also filed with Companies House but is a separate filing from the annual accounts. If your company has overdue accounts, it may also need to address outstanding Corporation Tax returns and confirmation statements. We can help you work out which filings apply to your situation.

What information do I need to provide for you to prepare overdue accounts?

Typically, you will need to provide financial information for each accounting period, such as bank statements, invoices, expense records, and any previous filed accounts if available. We also need the company's registered details and any confirmation statements submitted. If some records are missing, we can talk you through what we can do with the information you have. The precise requirements differ depending on the company's size, activity and circumstances.
