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.

 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 It Means When Company Accounts Are Overdue

Company accounts generally need to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline, which is set by reference to the company’s accounting reference period and its own circumstances rather than a single date that applies to every company. When that deadline passes and the required accounts have not been delivered, the accounts are overdue — a position directors in Newcastle Under Lyme often discover only when a reminder arrives from Companies House or when they come to prepare the following year’s figures. Overdue accounts remain outstanding, but the underlying obligation does not disappear, and the accounts still need to be prepared in line with the applicable reporting framework and delivered to Companies House where required. Where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period may need to be dealt with separately. Late-filing penalties can apply when accounts are delivered after the deadline, and the longer a filing remains outstanding, the more serious the consequences may become, although what follows depends on the company’s individual circumstances and on Companies House’s own procedures. Reviewing what is outstanding, gathering the records and preparing the accounts usually keeps the process more manageable than leaving it unaddressed.

─── 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.

What does it mean if my company accounts are overdue?

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline. Once that date passes without the required accounts being delivered, the accounts are overdue. Being overdue is a statement about the filing position rather than about the company's status, and the obligation to prepare and deliver the accounts remains. The deadline itself depends on the company's accounting reference period and its circumstances rather than being the same for every company.

Why do company accounts end up overdue?

There is rarely a single explanation. Directors sometimes overlook the filing date, move from one accountant to another, deal with illness or a change in personal circumstances, or find that bookkeeping records are incomplete and the accounts cannot be finished in time. Some companies are unsure which reporting framework applies to them. Whatever the reason, the accounts remain outstanding until they are prepared and delivered, and there is no automatic exemption simply because the delay was unintentional.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate matters. A dormant company can still have Companies House filing obligations, and if the applicable deadline passed without the required accounts being delivered, those accounts may be overdue. Dormant accounts are not the same thing as overdue accounts, and dormant status does not by itself remove the requirement to file where the company is obliged to do so.

What happens if the accounts are delivered after the deadline?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the penalty position depends on the circumstances and the relevant Companies House rules rather than being identical in every case. The longer accounts remain outstanding, the more serious the consequences may become, including an increased risk of action by Companies House against persistent non-compliance. Filing the outstanding accounts is what brings the filing position up to date.

If I pay a late-filing penalty, do I still need to file the accounts?

Yes. The requirement to file the outstanding accounts and any applicable penalty are separate matters. Paying a penalty does not remove the obligation to prepare and deliver the accounts, and it does not mean the filing position has been resolved. Companies House can also take action against a company that continues to fail to meet its filing obligations, so the accounts themselves still need to be dealt with.

What if several accounting periods are outstanding?

Each outstanding accounting period may need to be addressed separately, which can mean preparing more than one set of statutory accounts. Filing one set does not automatically resolve the others, so it helps to establish the full picture first. The work involved, and the order in which the periods are tackled, depend on the records available and the company's circumstances. We can review the position and confirm what is required.

Can micro-entity accounts be used if the accounts are overdue?

Some companies may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, and where they do, micro-entity accounts can be prepared for an overdue filing. FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard that applies to qualifying entities using that framework. Eligibility is not automatic, however: the company's legal structure, accounting period, size and qualifying criteria all need to be considered before the appropriate framework is confirmed.

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

Yes. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as the CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable. A confirmation statement is a separate Companies House filing and is not replaced by filing overdue accounts. Where a company also has outstanding Corporation Tax or confirmation statement obligations, those are separate compliance matters and may need to be dealt with alongside the accounts.
