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 Become Overdue in Newport

Company accounts generally have 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, so not every company works to the same date. Once that deadline passes without the required accounts being delivered, the accounts are overdue, whether or not the company has traded, generated income or remained dormant. Directors in Newport sometimes assume that a quiet year removes the obligation, but dormant companies can still have annual accounts filing obligations, and dormancy does not by itself make a filing overdue or resolve one. Outstanding accounts do not clear themselves, and the longer they remain unfiled the more the position can develop, including late-filing penalties that Companies House may impose and, where non-compliance continues, an increased risk of compulsory strike-off action. The right approach depends on the company’s legal structure, accounting period, size and reporting framework, and on how many periods are outstanding. Where several periods are affected, each one may need its own set of statutory accounts prepared and delivered separately, alongside any separate confirmation statement or Corporation Tax obligations owed to HMRC. We can review your circumstances, identify what remains outstanding and assist with preparing and filing the required documents.

─── 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 are overdue once the applicable Companies House filing deadline has passed and the required statutory accounts have not been delivered. That deadline is based on your company's accounting reference period and individual circumstances, so it is not identical for every company. An overdue filing simply means the accounts remain outstanding. It does not automatically change your company's status or remove the company from the Companies House register.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes, it can. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate matters. A dormant company can still have annual accounts filing obligations, and if the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, they can become overdue in the same way as any other company's accounts. Dormant status does not by itself remove the requirement to file, although what actually needs to be filed depends on the company's circumstances and the relevant requirements.

Will Companies House charge a late-filing penalty, and does paying it mean the accounts no longer need to be filed?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the penalty that may apply depends on the circumstances. Paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to file. The outstanding accounts still need to be prepared and delivered, and the two matters are treated separately. A director should not assume that settling a penalty brings the filing position to a close.

What happens if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Where several periods are affected, each one may need its own set of accounts prepared and filed separately. Filing one period does not automatically resolve the others, and the order in which they are dealt with can depend on the relevant deadlines and the records available. We can review the position and set out clearly what is required for each outstanding period.

Can overdue accounts affect my company's status or lead to strike-off?

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. It is not the case that every company with overdue accounts will be dissolved. If you have already received a strike-off notice, or the company has been dissolved, the matter may require separate restoration or legal advice rather than being handled as an ordinary overdue filing, so it is worth seeking guidance promptly.

Can micro-entity accounts be used for an overdue filing?

Possibly, depending on the company's circumstances. Some companies with overdue accounts may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, but not every company does, and eligibility depends on factors such as the company's size, legal structure, accounting period and the applicable requirements. Where it applies, FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard used by qualifying entities within the micro-entity framework. We confirm the appropriate reporting framework before any accounts are prepared.

Are Corporation Tax returns and confirmation statements separate from Companies House accounts?

Yes, these are separate compliance obligations. Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as the CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable, and a confirmation statement is delivered to Companies House independently of the annual accounts. Filing overdue accounts does not automatically satisfy those other obligations, so a company may need to address each of them individually.

What information is needed to prepare overdue accounts, and how can Micro Entity Accounts help?

It depends on the company and the periods being prepared, but it usually helps to have bookkeeping records, bank statements, invoices, expense records, details of assets and liabilities, previous accounts and current company information available. We can work from whatever you hold and explain what else may be required. Micro Entity Accounts prepares and reviews accounts carefully, communicates clearly at each stage and assists with filing the required documents with Companies House where applicable, and we can also review any related HMRC matters where they are relevant to your circumstances.
