 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 New Milton

Company accounts become overdue when 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 the first set of accounts being filed and the company’s individual circumstances, so it is worth checking the specific position rather than assuming a date. Until the accounts are prepared and submitted, the filing remains outstanding, and it does not resolve itself simply because time has passed. Directors in New Milton should treat overdue accounts as a priority: the company’s Companies House record continues to show the position as unfiled, a late-filing penalty may apply depending on the circumstances, and persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of further action by Companies House. Being dormant or having stopped trading does not remove the obligation either — a dormant company can still have accounts outstanding. Where more than one accounting period is unfiled, each period generally needs to be prepared and delivered separately. We can review your circumstances and assist with preparing and filing what is required.

─── 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 exactly are overdue company accounts?

Company accounts become overdue when the statutory filing deadline for that accounting period has passed and the required accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. It is not a separate status and it does not mean the company has been removed from the register — it simply means a required filing is outstanding. The deadline itself depends on the company's accounting reference period and its circumstances, so the position should be checked rather than assumed.

Why might a company's accounts have become overdue?

There are several common reasons. A director may not have realised the deadline had passed, bookkeeping records may be incomplete, information may still be awaited from a previous accountant, or someone may have assumed that a dormant or non-trading company had nothing to file. Whatever the reason, the practical position is the same: the accounts remain outstanding until they are prepared and delivered. We can look at the accounting period in question and help you work out what is still required.

Do dormant companies still have Companies House filing obligations?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate matters. A dormant company can still have annual accounts obligations, and if the applicable deadline passed without the required accounts being delivered, those accounts can be overdue. Being dormant does not automatically exempt a company from filing, although the type of accounts to be delivered may differ depending on the company's circumstances. We can review your position and confirm what is needed.

What happens if the accounts are delivered to Companies House after the deadline?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and whether a penalty applies — and at what level — depends on the company's circumstances. Paying any penalty is a separate matter from the filing itself, and it does not remove the requirement to deliver the outstanding accounts. Persistent failure to meet filing obligations can also increase the risk of further action by Companies House, so it is generally better to address the position rather than leave it unresolved.

If a late-filing penalty is paid, are the accounts still outstanding?

Yes. The penalty and the filing obligation are two distinct matters. Settling a penalty does not satisfy the requirement to prepare and deliver the accounts, and it does not mean the accounting period has been dealt with. The accounts still need to be filed where required. If you believe a penalty should not have applied, an appeal may be possible, but eligibility depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules, and we can explain what is involved.

What if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

In that situation, each outstanding period generally needs to be addressed separately, and filing one set of accounts does not clear the others. Several sets of accounts may need to be prepared, reviewed and delivered to Companies House, one period at a time. The information required for each period depends on the records available and the nature of the company's activity, so we usually start by confirming exactly which periods are unfiled.

Can micro-entity accounts be used to bring an overdue filing up to date?

Some companies may qualify to prepare micro-entity accounts under the micro-entity reporting framework, which uses FRS 105, and this can apply to a period that is already overdue if the company meets the eligibility conditions. It is not automatic, and not every small company qualifies. Eligibility depends on the company's legal structure, accounting period, size and the reporting framework that applies, so the appropriate basis should be confirmed before the accounts are prepared.

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

Yes. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while a Corporation Tax Return such as a CT600 is submitted to HMRC where applicable. Filing overdue accounts with Companies House does not automatically satisfy HMRC Corporation Tax obligations, and a confirmation statement is a separate Companies House filing again. A company with overdue accounts may therefore have other compliance matters to deal with alongside them, and where applicable we can help you identify what remains outstanding.
