 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 Makes Company Accounts Overdue, and Why It Matters

Company accounts have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline, which is generally linked to the end of the company’s accounting reference period and can vary according to the company’s circumstances. When that deadline passes without the required accounts being delivered, those accounts become overdue. They do not disappear from the record, and the underlying filing obligation normally remains in place until the accounts are properly prepared and submitted. Directors in Lincoln who find themselves in this position are often dealing with a mix of missing records, uncertainty about which reporting framework applies and a reluctance to open the subject at all. In practice, the sooner outstanding accounts are dealt with, the sooner the company’s Companies House record can be brought back in line. Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the longer accounts remain outstanding, the more serious the consequences may become, so reviewing the position early is usually preferable. It is important to separate two things: the requirement to file the accounts and any penalty that may apply are distinct matters. Paying a penalty does not, on its own, remove the need to file the outstanding accounts. Dormant companies are not automatically exempt either, since a company that has not traded can still have overdue accounts if the required accounts were not delivered by the relevant deadline. The form those accounts should take also varies, because a company may originally have been required to prepare micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts depending on its size, structure and accounting period. We can review what is outstanding and prepare the required documents for your review and authorisation before anything is submitted.

─── 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 the statutory filing deadline for a set of accounts has passed and those accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. The deadline is linked to the company's accounting reference period and can differ depending on the company's circumstances, so it is worth checking the specific due date shown on the company's Companies House record rather than assuming it matches another company's. Once the deadline has passed, the accounts remain outstanding until they are properly prepared, reviewed and submitted.

My company's accounts are already late — do they still have to be filed?

In most cases, yes. The obligation to prepare and deliver statutory accounts to Companies House does not disappear simply because the deadline has been missed; the accounts become overdue instead. A company that has stopped trading, has no current income or has never been active may still be required to file, depending on its circumstances. Submitting the outstanding accounts does not automatically resolve every other compliance matter, such as a late-filing penalty or a separate Corporation Tax obligation, but it is normally the necessary first step.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company can still have an annual accounts filing obligation at Companies House, and if those accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, they are overdue. Dormant status does not by itself remove the requirement to file, so it is worth checking what has actually been submitted for each accounting period rather than assuming dormancy covers it.

What happens if company accounts are filed after the deadline?

Where accounts are delivered late, Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty, and the level of any penalty depends on factors such as how late the accounts are and how the company's filing history is treated under the applicable rules. Penalties are not identical for every company or every filing. Filing the accounts does not remove or cancel a penalty that has already been issued, and any appeal would depend on the circumstances and the relevant Companies House rules. If a penalty notice has been received, we can review the position with you.

Does paying a late-filing penalty mean the accounts no longer need to be filed?

No. The requirement to file the outstanding accounts and any penalty are separate matters. Paying a penalty does not satisfy the underlying filing obligation, and the accounts still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House. Equally, filing the accounts later does not automatically cancel a penalty. Both need to be handled on their own terms, and where a penalty has been issued, eligibility for any appeal depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

What if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Where several accounting periods are outstanding, each one may need to be addressed separately, and more than one set of accounts may need to be prepared and filed. The records required, the reporting framework that applies and the order in which the periods are dealt with can all vary. For directors in Lincoln facing several outstanding periods, we can review the company's filing history at Companies House first so the full picture is clear before any preparation begins.

Can overdue accounts be prepared as micro-entity accounts?

Some companies with overdue accounts may qualify for the micro-entity framework, and where they do, FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard that applies to qualifying entities using that framework. Not every company qualifies. Eligibility depends on factors such as the company's size, legal structure and the accounting period in question, and a company that is small may still need to prepare accounts under another framework. Eligibility should therefore be confirmed before the accounts are prepared.

Are CT600 Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements separate from the accounts?

Yes. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as the CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable. A confirmation statement is also filed with Companies House and is separate from the annual accounts. Filing overdue accounts does not, on its own, satisfy overdue Corporation Tax obligations or replace a confirmation statement. Where more than one of these is outstanding, they may need to be handled as separate compliance matters.
