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 Makes Company Accounts Overdue, and Why It Is Worth Acting Now

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline, and that deadline is normally measured from the end of the company’s accounting reference period. It is not identical for every company: first accounts, shortened or extended accounting periods, and changes of year end can all affect the date, so the position needs to be checked rather than assumed. Once that date passes and the required accounts have still not been delivered, the accounts become overdue. In practice this often happens quietly — a director believed the filing was being handled, a previous accountant stopped acting, records were never completed, or the accounts were simply overlooked during a busy period. Overdue accounts are not just a paperwork formality. The filing obligation continues, Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty, and the longer the matter is left, the more likely it is that further accounting periods will also fall due and other compliance points will need attention. The right approach depends on the company’s circumstances, including its legal structure, accounting period, size and reporting framework, and whether it has been trading or dormant. A company that originally fell within the micro-entity framework may still need to prepare accounts under that framework where it continues to qualify, while a dormant company may still have an annual accounts obligation even with no income or activity. The first practical step is usually to establish exactly which periods are outstanding and what needs to be prepared and delivered.

─── 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 are overdue company accounts?

Company accounts are treated as overdue when the applicable filing deadline has passed and the required accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. The accounts concerned may be statutory accounts prepared under whichever reporting framework applies to the company. Being overdue is about the delivery of the accounts by the relevant date, not about whether the company has traded, made a profit or had any activity during the period.

Why have my company accounts become overdue?

There is rarely one single reason. A previous accountant may have stopped acting, the bookkeeping records may be incomplete, a director may have assumed the filing was being handled elsewhere, or a change of year end or a first accounting period may have shifted the deadline unexpectedly. Whatever the cause, the position is usually easier to resolve once the outstanding accounting periods have been identified and the required information has been gathered for each one.

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

Yes. Where accounts have not been delivered by the deadline, the filing obligation remains, and the accounts still need to be prepared and filed with Companies House where required. Overdue accounts generally cannot be left simply because the company is small, dormant or not currently trading. If more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period may need to be dealt with separately, because filing one set of accounts does not usually resolve the others.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

It can. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate matters. A dormant company may still have an annual accounts filing obligation with Companies House, so if the accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline they can become overdue in the same way as those of a trading company, depending on the circumstances. Where a company meets the relevant criteria, dormant accounts still have to be prepared and filed, and the statutory deadline still applies.

What happens if company accounts are filed after the deadline?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. The amount and severity of any penalty depends on the circumstances, including how late the accounts are, and Companies House applies its own published rules rather than a fixed outcome for every company. Filing the outstanding accounts does not automatically remove a penalty, and a penalty does not remove the requirement to file. Where you believe a penalty has been issued incorrectly, whether an appeal is possible depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

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

No. The penalty and the filing obligation are separate matters. Paying a penalty does not satisfy the requirement to deliver the accounts, so any outstanding statutory accounts would still need to be prepared and filed with Companies House where required. It is also worth checking whether other obligations remain open, such as a confirmation statement due to Companies House or Corporation Tax matters with HMRC, since these are dealt with separately from the accounts themselves.

Can a company still file overdue accounts after receiving a strike-off notice?

If a strike-off notice has been received, the situation needs to be looked at carefully and without delay, because it goes beyond a straightforward overdue filing. 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. Whether filing the outstanding accounts addresses the notice depends on the circumstances and the stage the action has reached. Where a company has already been dissolved, restoration is usually a separate matter and specialist advice may be needed.

How can Micro Entity Accounts help with Overdue Company Accounts Filing in North Cumbria?

We can review the records you hold, prepare the statutory accounts under the framework that applies to your company — including micro-entity accounts under FRS 105 where the company qualifies — and assist with delivery to Companies House.
