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 Makes Company Accounts Overdue, and Why It Pays to Act Early

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline, which is set by reference to the company’s accounting reference period and its individual circumstances. When that date passes and the required accounts have not been delivered, the accounts become overdue — there is no separate notification needed to make that the case. Directors of companies in March sometimes assume that a quiet trading year, a dormant period or a change of accountant means nothing needs to be filed, but dormant companies and non-trading companies can still have Companies House filing obligations, and an outstanding set of accounts remains outstanding until it is prepared and delivered. Companies House can apply late-filing penalties when accounts are received after the deadline, and the longer the accounts remain unfiled, the more serious the position may become, although the exact consequences depend on the company’s circumstances and the number of periods involved. Addressing overdue accounts promptly means the position is known, the relevant periods are identified and the accounts can be prepared on the correct basis — whether that is micro-entity accounts under FRS 105 where the company qualifies, small-company accounts or another applicable reporting framework. Filing outstanding accounts with Companies House does not, by itself, settle any penalty that may apply, and it does not automatically deal with confirmation statements, Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600 submitted to HMRC or other separate compliance matters, so these are usually reviewed alongside the accounts.

─── 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.

Not Sure Where Your Overdue Accounts Stand? We Can Review Your Filing Position and Help You Bring It Up to Date

Discovering that accounts are overdue is unsettling, and it is easy to lose track of which period is outstanding when a deadline has already passed. Micro Entity Accounts works with directors across March to review outstanding filing requirements, prepare the overdue accounts on the correct reporting basis and assist with delivery to Companies House, explaining each step in plain terms rather than accounting jargon. Where several accounting periods are involved, or where Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements also need attention, we can set out what applies to your company. Share your company details and we will 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 my company accounts are overdue?

It means the filing deadline that applied to those accounts has passed and the accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. The deadline itself depends on your company's accounting reference period and individual circumstances, so it is worth checking your company's filing history and the period concerned rather than relying on memory.

Do I still have to file the accounts if they are already late?

Yes. Accounts that are overdue still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House where they are required, and the filing obligation does not disappear simply because the deadline has passed. The relevant accounting periods will need to be identified and each set of accounts prepared on the appropriate basis before submission.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

It can. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues, and dormant status does not automatically remove the requirement to file annual accounts. A dormant company that did not deliver its accounts by the applicable deadline will still have outstanding filing obligations at Companies House, and the position can usually be reviewed and resolved.

Will Companies House charge a penalty for filing late?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the amount can vary depending on how late the accounts are and the company's circumstances. Paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to file the outstanding accounts — the two matters are dealt with separately.

If I have several years of accounts outstanding, can they all be dealt with?

In many cases, yes. Where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period generally needs its own set of accounts prepared and delivered, and filing one period does not automatically resolve the others. The number of periods involved and the work required will depend on the company's records and circumstances.

Can overdue accounts affect my company's status?

An overdue filing does not by itself change a company's status or remove it from the register. However, Companies House may take action against companies that fail to meet their filing obligations, and persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of compulsory strike-off action. If your company has already received a strike-off notice or been dissolved, that situation may need separate advice, including whether restoration is relevant.

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

Some companies may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework and FRS 105, but not every company does, and small size alone does not confirm eligibility. The appropriate basis — micro-entity, small-company or another applicable framework — depends on the company's legal structure, accounting period, size and circumstances, and should be confirmed before the accounts are prepared.

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

No. Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable, and a confirmation statement is a separate Companies House filing. Bringing overdue accounts up to date does not automatically satisfy those other obligations, so it is worth reviewing them at the same time so nothing is overlooked.
