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 It Means When Company Accounts Become Overdue

Under UK company law, a limited company generally has to prepare annual accounts and deliver a copy to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline. That deadline is calculated by reference to the company’s accounting reference period and the type of accounts being filed, so it is not the same for every company. When the deadline passes and the required accounts have not been delivered, those accounts become overdue. Overdue status simply means the filing deadline has been missed and the accounts remain outstanding — it does not, by itself, mean the company’s status has been suspended or removed from the register. Even so, it is worth dealing with the position promptly. Companies House may impose late-filing penalties where accounts are delivered after the deadline, and the longer accounts remain outstanding, the more serious the consequences can become. Overdue accounts are also separate from other compliance matters: a company may still need to submit its confirmation statement, and any Corporation Tax Returns such as a CT600 are submitted to HMRC rather than Companies House, so these obligations need to be considered separately. Directors in Newcastle who have received a reminder, a penalty notice or a query about their Companies House records can contact us to review the outstanding periods and establish what needs to be prepared and filed.

─── 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 for company accounts to be overdue?

Company accounts become overdue when the company's applicable statutory filing deadline has passed and the required accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. The date itself depends on factors such as the company's accounting reference period, whether it is a first set of accounts and the type of accounts involved, so the position is not identical for every company. Being overdue is a filing status rather than a change to the company's legal existence. If you are not sure whether your accounts have actually been filed, you can check the company's filing history on the Companies House register or ask us to review it for you.

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

Yes, in most cases the obligation to prepare and deliver the accounts continues even though the deadline has passed. Overdue statutory accounts still need to be prepared and filed with Companies House where required, and the fact that a deadline has been missed does not usually remove that duty. Filing the accounts does not automatically cancel any late-filing penalty that may have been incurred, nor does it resolve other outstanding obligations such as a confirmation statement or a Corporation Tax Return submitted to HMRC. We can review your company's circumstances and confirm what remains outstanding.

Can a dormant company have overdue company accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company can still be required to deliver annual accounts to Companies House, so where the applicable deadline has passed without a filing, those accounts can be overdue even though the company has not traded. Dormant status does not remove the filing requirement, and dormant accounts are not the same thing as overdue accounts. If your company has been dormant and you are unsure what should have been filed, we can review the position and prepare the necessary accounts where applicable.

Will Companies House impose a late-filing penalty for overdue accounts?

Companies House can impose late-filing penalties when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the level of any penalty depends on the circumstances, including how late the filing is and the type of company involved. Penalties are not optional and not every company receives the same treatment. It is also worth noting that penalty appeals, where available, depend on the specific circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules, so we cannot guarantee that a penalty will be reduced or removed. What we can do is help you get the accounts prepared and filed correctly.

If a late-filing penalty is paid, does that remove the requirement to file the accounts?

No. Paying a late-filing penalty does not satisfy the underlying filing obligation, and the two matters are dealt with separately. The accounts must still be prepared and delivered to Companies House where required, regardless of whether a penalty has been issued or paid. Directors sometimes assume that settling a penalty closes the matter, but the outstanding accounts remain outstanding until they are actually filed. Where a penalty notice has already been received, we can look at the filing position alongside it.

What happens if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Where several periods are outstanding, each one may need to be addressed separately, which can mean preparing and filing more than one set of accounts. Filing a single period does not automatically resolve the others, and the order in which they are dealt with may depend on the company's circumstances and the applicable requirements. The information needed can also differ between periods, depending on the records available and the accounting periods concerned. We can map out which periods are outstanding and work through them in a logical sequence.

Can micro-entity accounts be used for an overdue filing where the company qualifies?

Some companies with overdue accounts may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, which is set out in FRS 105, but eligibility is not automatic and depends on factors such as the company's size, legal structure, accounting period and circumstances. A company that originally prepared micro-entity accounts may continue to qualify, while others may need small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts. We assess eligibility before deciding on the reporting framework, so the accounts are prepared on the correct basis for that period.

Can overdue company accounts affect the company's status at Companies House?

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. That said, an overdue filing does not automatically mean the company will be dissolved, and the position varies between companies. If a strike-off notice has already been issued, or if the company has been dissolved, the situation may need separate restoration steps or legal advice rather than being treated as a routine overdue accounts filing. Where a warning has been received, we can help you understand what the filing position involves and what still needs to be delivered.
