 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 Overdue Company Accounts Mean and Why They Need Attention

Company accounts become overdue when the statutory filing deadline for a particular accounting period has passed and the required accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. That deadline is not identical for every company; it depends on factors such as the company’s accounting reference date, whether it is filing a first set of accounts, and its individual circumstances. Once the date has gone by, the accounts remain outstanding until they are properly prepared and filed, and the Companies House record will continue to reflect that position. For directors in Melbourne Derby, the practical first step is usually to establish exactly which periods are outstanding and what has to be done for each one. Leaving accounts overdue rarely improves matters: late-filing penalties may apply where accounts are delivered after the deadline, and persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of further action by Companies House. None of that means a company is beyond help. Outstanding statutory accounts can still be prepared, reviewed and submitted, and the earlier that work begins, the clearer the position becomes. What is required will vary from company to company — an eligible company may originally have been due to file micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another form of statutory accounts, depending on its size, legal structure and reporting framework, and dormant companies can also fall behind with their filing obligations. Overdue Company Accounts Filing is therefore rarely a single task; it is a matter of identifying what is owed, preparing each outstanding period accurately, and dealing separately with related obligations such as confirmation statements and Corporation Tax where those apply.

─── 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 are overdue company accounts?

Overdue company accounts are statutory accounts for an accounting period that have not been delivered to Companies House by the applicable filing deadline. The accounts do not stop being required simply because the deadline has passed — they remain outstanding until they are prepared and filed. The exact deadline depends on the company's accounting reference period and its circumstances, so it is worth confirming the position for each period rather than assuming.

Why have my company accounts become overdue?

There are several common reasons: a director may not have realised that a filing deadline had arrived, the accounting records may not have been passed to an accountant in time, or a change in the company's circumstances may have interrupted the usual routine. In some cases, companies that have stopped trading or become dormant assume there is nothing to file, when in fact an annual accounts filing obligation may still exist. Whatever the reason, overdue accounts can still be addressed, and reviewing the position early is generally easier than waiting.

Do I still have to file company accounts that are already overdue?

Yes, in most cases the requirement to prepare and deliver the accounts to Companies House remains, and filing them is what brings the outstanding period up to date. Filing the statutory accounts with Companies House is a separate matter from Corporation Tax, so where a CT600 Corporation Tax Return is also due to HMRC, that will usually need to be dealt with separately. Depending on the circumstances, other obligations such as confirmation statements may also be outstanding and may need attention.

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 it has not delivered the required accounts by the applicable deadline, those accounts can become overdue in the same way as any other company's. Being dormant does not automatically mean accounts are exempt from filing, so it is worth checking what is actually outstanding.

Can Companies House impose a late-filing penalty, and does paying it remove the need to file?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the amount can vary depending on the circumstances and how late the filing is. Paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to file the outstanding accounts — the two matters are separate. Penalty appeals may be possible in certain circumstances, but eligibility depends on the applicable Companies House rules and the facts of the case, and we can review your position with you.

What happens if several accounting periods are outstanding?

Where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period may need its own set of accounts prepared and filed separately, and filing one period does not automatically resolve the others. The work involved depends on the records available, the length of time involved and the company's circumstances. We can start by establishing which periods are outstanding and then work through them in a sensible order.

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

Overdue accounts do not automatically mean a company is suspended or removed from the register. That said, 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 being taken. If a company has already received a strike-off notice, that situation may require separate legal or restoration advice rather than being treated as an ordinary overdue filing, and it is best to seek guidance promptly.

What information do you need to prepare overdue company accounts?

It depends on the company and the periods being prepared, but typically we would look at bookkeeping records, bank statements, invoices, expense records, details of any assets or liabilities, previous accounts, company information and any correspondence from Companies House or HMRC. Not every company will need to provide exactly the same items. Once we understand your circumstances, we will confirm what is needed and whether micro-entity accounts under the micro-entity framework, small-company accounts or another reporting basis applies to your company.
