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 Overdue Company Accounts Mean for Your Company

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline. That deadline is not the same for every company: it depends on factors such as the company’s accounting reference period, whether it is filing a first set of accounts, and the company’s own circumstances. When the deadline passes and the required accounts have not been delivered, they become overdue. From that point, the outstanding accounts still need to be prepared, reviewed and filed — the obligation does not disappear because time has passed, the company has stopped trading or no further correspondence has arrived. Directors in Newmarket often discover the position when reviewing their Companies House record, when a late-filing penalty arrives, or when they speak to a new accountant. Where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty, and the longer accounts remain outstanding, the more serious the consequences may become. Persistent non-compliance can also increase the risk of further action from Companies House, including compulsory strike-off in some cases, although not every overdue company faces the same outcome and filing the accounts does not guarantee that any such action will be halted. It is also worth remembering that overdue accounts are only one part of a company’s compliance position. A confirmation statement is a separate filing, and Corporation Tax obligations — including CT600 Corporation Tax Returns submitted to HMRC where applicable — are handled separately from the statutory accounts delivered to Companies House. Where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period may need to be prepared and filed in turn. Dormant companies are not automatically exempt either. The appropriate reporting framework, whether micro-entity accounts under FRS 105, small-company accounts or another applicable form, depends on the company’s eligibility for the period concerned.

─── 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 normally have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline for the company's accounting reference period. Once that deadline passes and the accounts have still not been delivered, they are treated as overdue. Overdue filing simply means a deadline has been missed and the required accounts remain outstanding; it does not by itself mean the company has been suspended, dissolved or removed from the Companies House register.

How do company accounts end up overdue?

There are several common reasons. A director may not have realised that accounts were due, the accounting reference date may have changed, bookkeeping records may be incomplete, or a previous accountant may have stopped acting for the company. Some directors also assume that no trading, no income or dormant status removes the need to file, which is not the case where a filing obligation applies. Where the deadline has passed without delivery, the accounts are overdue regardless of the reason.

Do I still have to file accounts that are already overdue?

Yes. Accounts that are already overdue still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House where required. The fact that the deadline has passed, the company is not trading, or a penalty has been issued does not remove the filing obligation. Filing the outstanding accounts brings the Companies House record up to date for that period, but it does not automatically resolve other compliance matters such as confirmation statements or Corporation Tax filings, which are usually dealt with separately.

Can a dormant company have overdue company accounts?

Yes, it can. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company may still have annual accounts filing obligations and, if the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, they can be overdue. Dormant accounts may still need to be prepared and filed where a filing obligation applies, and dormant status does not automatically exempt a company from filing.

What happens if the accounts are filed after the deadline?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. The penalty that may apply depends on how late the accounts are and the type of company, and it is separate from the requirement to file. Paying a penalty does not remove the obligation to deliver the accounts and does not mean the filing has been dealt with. Whether a penalty can be appealed depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

Can micro-entity accounts be used to clear overdue filings?

Possibly, depending on the company's circumstances. Some companies may qualify to prepare accounts under the micro-entity framework, which uses the FRS 105 reporting standard, but this depends on factors such as the company's legal structure, size and eligibility for the period being prepared. Not every small company qualifies, and not every overdue filing will be a micro-entity set. We can review the position and confirm the appropriate reporting framework before preparation begins.

What if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Each outstanding accounting period generally needs to be addressed separately, so a company with several overdue periods may need multiple sets of accounts prepared and filed. Filing one set does not automatically clear the others. We can review the company's Companies House record to establish which periods remain outstanding and plan the work accordingly, bearing in mind the information required for each period.

Are Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements handled separately?

Yes. Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable, while statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required. A confirmation statement is also a separate filing submitted to Companies House and is not the same as annual accounts. Dealing with overdue accounts does not automatically satisfy Corporation Tax obligations or the confirmation statement requirement, so these are usually reviewed alongside one another.
