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.

 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 for Directors in Meopham

Company accounts become overdue once the applicable statutory filing deadline has passed and the required accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. That deadline is not identical for every company: it depends on factors such as the company’s accounting reference period, whether it is a first set of accounts and the company’s individual circumstances. What matters is whether the accounts have actually been filed, not simply whether the company has been trading or generating income. If accounts remain outstanding, the filing obligation does not disappear. Directors of companies in Meopham, like directors elsewhere, remain responsible for ensuring that statutory accounts are prepared and delivered where required. Late delivery can lead to late-filing penalties, and the longer the position is left unresolved, the more serious the consequences may become. Persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of Companies House taking action against a company, which may in some cases include compulsory strike-off action, although this is not automatic and each case is assessed on its own facts. Bringing things up to date usually means preparing one or more sets of accounts, checking the information held on the Companies House register and reviewing anything else that has fallen behind. Outstanding Corporation Tax Returns, HMRC matters and confirmation statements are separate obligations and may need to be addressed alongside, or independently of, the accounts themselves. Filing overdue accounts does not automatically cancel a penalty that has already been issued, and where an appeal may be possible, eligibility depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

─── 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 if a company's accounts are overdue?

Accounts become overdue when the applicable statutory filing deadline has passed and the required accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. Deadlines are not the same for every company, as the relevant date depends on the company's accounting reference period and its particular circumstances. Being overdue is a question of whether the filing has actually been made, not whether the company has been trading or making a profit.

Do we still have to file accounts that are already late?

Yes, in most cases. The requirement to prepare and deliver statutory accounts where required continues after the deadline has passed, and the accounts remain outstanding until they are filed. Late-filing penalties are a separate matter: paying a penalty does not remove the need to file the accounts, and filing the accounts does not automatically cancel a penalty that has already been issued.

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 where the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, they can be overdue in the same way as those of a trading company. Whether a company is treated as dormant, and what it is required to file, depends on its circumstances.

Can Companies House impose a late-filing penalty?

Companies House can impose late-filing penalties where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. The penalty that may apply depends on the circumstances, including how late the accounts are and the type of company involved. Penalties are not optional. Where an appeal may be possible, eligibility depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules; we can review the position with you, but we cannot guarantee that any penalty will be reduced or removed.

What happens if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Where several periods are outstanding, each one generally needs to be addressed separately, which may mean preparing and filing more than one set of accounts. Filing one period does not automatically clear the others. We can review the company's filing history, establish which periods are outstanding and work through them in a sensible order, subject to the records available for each period.

Can overdue accounts be prepared as micro-entity accounts?

Possibly, depending on the circumstances. Some companies qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework under FRS 105, but eligibility depends on factors such as the company's size, legal structure and accounting period. Not every small company qualifies, and small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts may be required instead. We confirm the appropriate reporting framework before preparing anything.

Are CT600 Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements separate from company accounts?

Yes. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable, so filing accounts with Companies House does not automatically satisfy HMRC obligations. A confirmation statement is also a separate filing made to Companies House and is not replaced by filing overdue accounts. A company may need to deal with these matters alongside its accounts.

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

We assist company directors with preparing and filing outstanding statutory accounts, reviewing what is outstanding at Companies House and confirming what information is needed to complete each period. Our accountants are fully qualified and regulated by ICAEW, ACCA and AAT, and we work with simple fixed-fee pricing and no hidden costs. Where other obligations such as Corporation Tax Returns are outstanding, we can advise on how those sit alongside the accounts work, and documents are provided for your review and authorisation before submission.
