 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

Understanding Overdue Company Accounts in Marlborough

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the statutory deadline that applies to the company, which is set by reference to its accounting reference period and its own circumstances rather than a single date shared by every business. When that deadline passes and the required accounts have not been delivered, the filing becomes overdue. It does not matter whether the company has traded, has generated income or has been dormant — an overdue filing is a live obligation that remains outstanding until the accounts are prepared and submitted. Addressing overdue accounts promptly is usually the simplest route back to a clean Companies House record, because the longer a filing remains outstanding, the more likely it is that further compliance issues arise. Companies House can issue a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of further action against the company. Directors in Marlborough who are unsure where they stand can ask us to review the position and confirm which accounting periods still need attention. The right reporting framework — micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another form of statutory accounts — depends on the company’s size, structure, accounting period and eligibility, so the correct approach is confirmed before preparation begins.

─── 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 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, and do they still need to be filed?

Accounts become overdue when the statutory filing deadline for the company has passed and the required accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. That deadline is set by reference to the company's accounting reference period and its individual circumstances, so it is not the same for every business. Being overdue does not mean the obligation disappears: the accounts still need to be prepared and delivered where they are required, and the sooner that is done, the sooner the company's record can be brought up to date.

Why do company accounts become overdue in the first place?

The reasons are usually ordinary ones. A director may not have realised the deadline had passed, the bookkeeping may not have been completed, there may have been a change of accountant, or the company may have had a quiet period and it was assumed nothing needed to be filed. In practice, the filing duty follows from the company's reporting obligations rather than its level of trading activity, so it is worth checking the position rather than assuming no filing is due.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company can still have Companies House filing obligations, and if the accounts required for a particular period were not delivered by the applicable deadline, that filing can be overdue even though the company was not trading. Assuming that dormant status removes the requirement to file is a common misconception, so it is sensible to confirm what Companies House currently holds for the company.

What happens if company accounts are filed after the deadline?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. Whether a penalty applies, and how it is assessed, depends on the company's circumstances and how late the filing is — it is not identical in every case. Filing the outstanding accounts and any penalty are separate matters. Submitting the accounts does not automatically remove or reduce a penalty, and paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to file. Where a penalty has been issued, eligibility to appeal depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules, and we can review the position with you.

What if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Where several accounting periods are outstanding, each one generally needs to be addressed separately, which may mean preparing and filing more than one set of accounts. The work involved depends on the records available for each period and on the company's circumstances. Bringing one period up to date does not automatically resolve the others, so we usually start by confirming exactly which periods remain open before preparing anything.

Can micro-entity accounts be used for an overdue filing where the company qualifies?

They can, where the company meets the eligibility conditions for the micro-entity framework at the relevant time. Not every small company qualifies, and the framework that applies can differ from one accounting period to another. FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard used by qualifying entities within the micro-entity framework, and eligibility must be considered alongside the company's legal structure, accounting period and circumstances before the correct basis of preparation is confirmed.

Can overdue accounts affect my company's status or lead to strike-off action?

An overdue filing does not automatically change a company's status, and not every company with late accounts is struck off. 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. Filing the outstanding accounts does not guarantee that any action already under way will be stopped or reversed. If a strike-off notice has been received, or the company has already been dissolved, the matter may need separate restoration or legal advice rather than being treated as a straightforward overdue filing.

How can Micro Entity Accounts help with overdue company accounts in Marlborough?

We start by reviewing your position and confirming which accounting periods are outstanding and what information is needed — typically bookkeeping records, bank statements, invoices, expense records, previous accounts and current company details, although this varies depending on the period being prepared. We then prepare the statutory accounts, share them with you for review and authorisation, and manage delivery to Companies House where required. It is worth remembering that filing overdue accounts may not resolve every other obligation: confirmation statements, Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600 and other HMRC matters may need to be dealt with separately, and we can review what remains outstanding so nothing is overlooked.
