 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 become overdue when the statutory filing deadline for a set of accounts has passed and those accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. That deadline is not the same for every company — it depends on the company’s accounting reference period, whether it is a first set of accounts and the company’s particular circumstances — so the sensible starting point is usually to check the Companies House record and establish exactly which periods remain outstanding. Once accounts are overdue, the obligation to prepare and file them does not disappear, and in most cases the company still needs to bring its filing record up to date. Leaving the position unresolved rarely makes it easier: reconstructing older figures becomes harder over time, and the consequences of continued non-compliance can become more serious, although this is not automatic for every company. Companies House can apply late-filing penalties where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and persistent failure to meet filing obligations may lead to further action. Directors in Manchester who find themselves with outstanding statutory accounts should therefore address the position rather than set it aside, bearing in mind that accounts, confirmation statements and Corporation Tax matters are separate obligations that may each need attention.

─── 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.

Overdue Company Accounts Filing Needn't Stay Unresolved Practical, professional help to bring your company up to date

Finding out that your company’s accounts are overdue is an uncomfortable position to be in, and it is tempting to postpone dealing with it when you are unsure what is outstanding or what happens next. Micro Entity Accounts can help by reviewing your filing position, preparing the overdue accounts for each outstanding period and handling the delivery to Companies House once you have reviewed and approved the figures. We will set out clearly what information we need, explain how the process works and keep you updated as the work progresses. If you would like to get your company’s filing record back on track, speak to our team and we can take it from there.

─── 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 if our company accounts are overdue?

It means the filing deadline for those accounts has passed and the accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. This is separate from any penalty that may apply, and separate from the company's other filing obligations — a company can have overdue accounts while its confirmation statement is up to date, or the reverse can be true. If you are unsure which periods are outstanding, we can review the Companies House record for your company and confirm what still needs to be prepared and filed.

Our company has not traded recently. Do we still need to file the accounts?

In most cases, yes. Not trading does not, by itself, remove the requirement to deliver annual accounts to Companies House where that requirement applies. A dormant company can still have an annual accounts filing obligation, and where the applicable deadline has passed, those accounts are overdue. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues: whether accounts should have been filed depends on the company's position and the relevant requirements, and a lack of trading activity does not automatically mean the company was exempt.

Why do company accounts end up overdue?

The reasons are usually practical rather than dramatic. A director may have assumed someone else was handling the filing, records may have been incomplete, the company may have changed accountant partway through a period, or a difficult trading year may have made preparing the figures feel easier to postpone. Some directors believe the company is too small to need accounts, or that nothing needs filing because there was no activity. Whatever the cause, once the deadline has passed without delivery, the accounts are overdue and the requirement to file them remains.

Can Companies House impose a late-filing penalty on overdue accounts?

Companies House can apply a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. Whether a penalty applies, and how it is assessed, depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules, so it is not a fixed outcome for every company. We can prepare and file the outstanding accounts accurately and explain the position clearly so you understand what may apply in your case. We cannot promise that a penalty will be reduced, removed or cancelled.

If we pay a late-filing penalty, does that mean we no longer need to file the accounts?

No. The penalty and the filing obligation are separate matters. Paying a penalty does not satisfy the requirement to prepare and deliver the outstanding accounts, and it does not automatically cancel or reduce anything. The accounts still need to be prepared and filed. Where a penalty has been issued, whether an appeal is possible depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules — we can review the position with you, but no particular outcome can be guaranteed.

We have more than one accounting period outstanding. How is that dealt with?

Each outstanding period generally needs to be addressed in its own right, which means several sets of accounts may need to be prepared and filed. Working through them in the correct order matters, because later periods often depend on the position and figures established in earlier ones. We can review what remains outstanding, explain what information is needed for each period, and manage the filings so the company's record is brought up to date in a structured way. Filing one set of accounts does not automatically resolve the other periods.

Are CT600 Corporation Tax Returns separate from the accounts filed at Companies House?

Yes. Statutory accounts are prepared and delivered to Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as the CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable. Delivering overdue accounts to Companies House does not automatically satisfy any outstanding Corporation Tax obligations the company may have. Where both are outstanding, they are separate compliance matters and each needs to be dealt with in its own right. We can assist with the accounts side and advise on the wider position where relevant.

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

We prepare and file outstanding statutory accounts for limited companies and other eligible entities, and we are used to picking up filing that has fallen behind. The process usually begins with a review of your company's position: which periods are outstanding, what information is available and what needs to be prepared. From there we prepare the accounts, ask you to review and approve the figures before anything is submitted, and handle delivery to Companies House on your instruction. All of our accountants are fully qualified and regulated by ICAEW, ACCA and AAT, and our pricing is set out clearly with no hidden costs.
