 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 applicable statutory filing deadline passes and the required accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. The deadline itself is not the same for every company: it depends on factors such as the company’s accounting reference period, whether it is filing for the first time and the circumstances of that particular accounting period. For that reason, the first practical step is usually to establish exactly which periods remain outstanding and what was last filed at Companies House. Once accounts are overdue, the filing obligation does not disappear — the accounts still need to be prepared and delivered where required, and each outstanding accounting period may need to be dealt with separately. Overdue accounts can also sit alongside other compliance matters that have their own timelines, such as confirmation statements, updates to the Companies House register, or Corporation Tax Returns submitted to HMRC, and these are distinct obligations rather than parts of the same task. Dormancy does not automatically remove the requirement to file annual accounts either; a dormant company can still be overdue if the required accounts were not delivered by the relevant deadline. Where a company has received a reminder or a formal notice from Companies House, the position may need more careful handling, and it is generally sensible to take advice rather than leave matters to run on. Because requirements and consequences depend on the company’s circumstances, we start by reviewing your Companies House record and the periods involved before recommending how to bring everything up to date.

─── 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.

In simple terms, what are overdue company accounts?

Overdue company accounts are the statutory accounts a limited company was required to deliver to Companies House by its applicable filing deadline, but which have not yet been filed. The accounts become overdue once that deadline passes — regardless of whether the company has continued trading, reduced its activity or stopped trading altogether. Being overdue is about the missed filing date, not about how well the business is performing.

Can a dormant company in Nantwich have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company may still have annual accounts filing obligations, and if those accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, the company can be overdue even though it has not traded. If your company is dormant and you are unsure what is due, we can review the Companies House record and the accounting periods concerned, then confirm the appropriate route.

Will the accounts still need to be filed, even though the deadline has passed?

In most cases, yes. The obligation to prepare and deliver statutory accounts for an outstanding period does not disappear simply because the deadline has been missed. Where a company has more than one outstanding accounting period, each period may need to be addressed separately, as filing one set of accounts does not automatically resolve the others. The precise requirements depend on the company's circumstances, so it is worth establishing the full list of outstanding periods first.

Can Companies House impose a late-filing penalty, and does paying it cancel the filing requirement?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the penalty position depends on the circumstances of the filing. Paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to file the outstanding accounts — these are two separate matters. It is also worth noting that in general, the longer accounts remain outstanding, the more serious the consequences may become, which is one reason directors usually look to resolve overdue filings sooner rather than later.

Are CT600 Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements dealt with in the same way as overdue company accounts?

No, these are separate compliance matters. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable. A confirmation statement is also submitted to Companies House, but it is a distinct filing from the annual accounts and does not replace them. Filing overdue accounts does not automatically satisfy any overdue Corporation Tax obligations or confirmation statement requirement, so it is sensible to check each area in turn.

Can a company still file accounts after receiving a warning or strike-off notice?

This depends on the stage the company has reached. 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, but an overdue filing does not mean a company has automatically been dissolved or removed from the register. If a strike-off notice has already been issued — or the company has been dissolved — the position may need separate restoration or legal advice rather than being treated as a routine overdue accounts filing, so please tell us about it when you get in touch.

Can micro-entity accounts be used where a company's accounts are overdue?

Possibly, depending on the company. Some companies that have overdue accounts may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, but not every company does, and the right framework depends on the company's legal structure, accounting period, size and eligibility. FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard that applies to qualifying entities using the micro-entity framework. If a company does not qualify, small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts may be appropriate instead, and an overdue filing does not change which framework the company is entitled to use.

What information do I need to provide, and how does Micro Entity Accounts help?

What is needed varies by company and by the accounting period being prepared, but it commonly includes bookkeeping records, bank statements, invoices, expense records, details of any assets or liabilities, the company details held at Companies House, and copies of previously filed accounts where available. Micro Entity Accounts can review your outstanding filing requirements, prepare the overdue accounts for each period that needs attention, explain what is being submitted and assist with delivery to Companies House where required. We will also flag any related matters, such as confirmation statements or HMRC filings, so you can see the whole picture rather than just one part of it.
