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.

Special thanks to Muhammad Saifullah for his assistance.

 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 Does Timing Matter?

Company accounts become overdue when the statutory filing deadline for a particular accounting period passes without the required accounts having been delivered to Companies House. That deadline is not the same for every company — it depends on factors such as the accounting reference date, whether the company is filing for the first time, and the company’s own reporting circumstances — so directors in Lydney should check the specific due date that applies to their company rather than assuming a standard date applies across the board. Once the deadline has passed, the accounts remain outstanding until they are properly prepared and filed, and the obligation does not disappear because the company has stopped trading, has no current income, or is dormant. Companies House may apply a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the longer a filing remains outstanding, the more serious the position can become, although the practical consequences vary from one company to another. Dealing with overdue company accounts filing sooner rather than later is usually the easier route: the underlying records are more likely to be available, the figures are simpler to reconstruct, and any separate matters — confirmation statements, Corporation Tax Returns or other outstanding filings — can be reviewed alongside them. Where a company has already received a warning from Companies House or a strike-off notice, that situation may need separate advice, because it goes beyond an ordinary overdue accounts filing.

─── 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 company accounts are overdue?

It means the statutory filing deadline for a set of accounts has passed and the accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. The filing deadline is based on the company's accounting reference period and its own circumstances, so it is not the same date for every company. Overdue accounts remain outstanding until they are prepared and filed, and the requirement does not fall away simply because the company has stopped trading, has no current income or has very little activity.

Do dormant companies still have to file accounts?

In many cases, yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues — a company that has not traded can still have an annual accounts filing obligation, and it can still have overdue accounts if it missed the applicable deadline. Dormant companies may have reduced reporting requirements depending on the circumstances, but dormant status does not automatically remove the need to deliver accounts to Companies House where they are required.

Can Companies House impose a late-filing penalty?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and that penalty is not optional. How much is charged and how it is treated depends on how late the filing is and the rules in force at the time, so we would not quote a figure without reviewing your position. A penalty is also a separate matter from the filing itself — it does not remove the requirement to prepare and deliver the outstanding accounts.

If a late-filing penalty is paid, does that mean the accounts no longer need to be filed?

No. Paying a penalty does not satisfy the filing obligation. The outstanding accounts still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House, and any penalty is handled separately under the applicable Companies House rules. If you believe a penalty should not have applied, an appeal may be possible depending on the circumstances, but eligibility and the outcome are decided by Companies House and cannot be guaranteed.

What happens if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Each outstanding accounting period generally needs to be addressed separately, which means more than one set of accounts may need to be prepared and filed. The amount of work involved depends on what records exist for each period and on the company's circumstances. Filing one set of accounts does not automatically clear the others, so it is usually best to review the full picture before preparation begins.

Can micro-entity accounts be used for an overdue filing?

Where the company qualifies, the micro-entity framework, FRS 105, may be the appropriate basis for preparing the accounts. Eligibility depends on factors such as the company's size, legal structure and the accounting period concerned, and not every company qualifies. Overdue accounts should not be assumed to be micro-entity accounts just because the business is small — we would confirm the correct reporting framework before preparing any figures.

Are CT600 Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements part of the same filing?

No. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable. A confirmation statement is a separate filing made to Companies House and is not the same as annual accounts. Delivering overdue accounts does not automatically resolve those other obligations, so where several matters are outstanding, each should be reviewed and dealt with on its own terms.

How can Micro Entity Accounts help with Overdue Company Accounts Filing in Lydney?

We can review the outstanding periods, establish what has already been filed at Companies House and prepare the statutory accounts that still need to be delivered. We will explain the information required — which may include bookkeeping records, bank statements, invoices, previous accounts and company details, depending on the circumstances — and guide you through reviewing and authorising the figures before submission. Our accountants are fully qualified and regulated by ICAEW, ACCA and AAT, and pricing is agreed in advance so there are no surprises.
