 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 and Why They Should Not Be Left Unresolved

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline, which is normally linked 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 treated as overdue, and the company’s record at Companies House will reflect that. Overdue accounts are not resolved by the passage of time — they stay outstanding until the necessary accounts are prepared and filed. Companies House may impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the deadline, and the position can become more serious the longer the accounts remain outstanding, although what applies depends on the circumstances of the company. Many directors across North East London find themselves here after a difficult trading period, a change of accountant, a pause in activity or a misunderstanding about what was due, and the practical answer is the same: establish which accounting periods are outstanding, prepare the accounts that apply and deliver them where required. It is also worth remembering that dormant companies can have overdue filing obligations, that overdue accounts may have originally needed to be prepared as micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts, and that company accounts are only one part of a wider compliance position — confirmation statements and Corporation Tax matters, including any CT600 returns due to HMRC, are dealt with separately.

─── 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 for company accounts to be overdue?

A company's accounts become overdue when the filing deadline applying to its accounting period has passed and the required statutory accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. This is a filing position rather than an automatic change to the company's legal status. The deadline is generally based on the company's accounting reference date and its individual circumstances, so it can differ from one company to another. Once accounts are overdue, they remain outstanding until they are properly prepared and filed, and the Companies House record will continue to show the position as it stands.

Why do company accounts become overdue?

There are several common reasons. A director may not have realised that an accounting period had ended, records may have been passed over incompletely after a change of accountant, a company may have paused trading and assumed there was nothing to file, or the bookkeeping may simply have fallen behind during a demanding period. In most cases the underlying issue is information rather than intent. Understanding why the deadline was missed is useful, but the practical priority is identifying exactly which periods are outstanding and preparing the accounts that should have been delivered.

Do overdue accounts still need to be filed if the company is dormant or has not traded?

In most cases they do. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues, and a dormant company can still have Companies House filing obligations. A company does not become exempt from filing simply because it has not traded or has no income. Where a company is genuinely dormant, dormant company accounts may be the appropriate route, subject to the applicable requirements, but the obligation to deliver accounts by the relevant deadline usually remains. If you are unsure whether dormant status applies to your company, we can review the position before any accounts are prepared.

What happens when statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House after the deadline?

When accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, Companies House may impose a late-filing penalty. Whether a penalty applies, and the level of it, depends on the circumstances and on how late the filing is under the applicable rules. The penalty is also separate from the requirement to file: paying a penalty does not remove the need to prepare and deliver the outstanding accounts, and filing them does not automatically cancel or reduce any penalty already incurred. Where a penalty appeal might be considered, eligibility depends on the specific circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

If several accounting periods are outstanding, does each one need separate accounts?

Where a company has missed more than one filing deadline, each outstanding accounting period generally needs its own set of accounts prepared and delivered. Filing one period does not bring the others up to date automatically, and the earlier periods often need to be addressed first because later figures are built on them. The amount of work involved and the order in which periods are filed depend on how many are outstanding, what records are available and the company's circumstances. We can map out what is required across all outstanding periods before preparation begins.

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

An overdue filing does not by itself suspend or dissolve a company. However, 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. If a strike-off notice has already been issued, or if the company has been dissolved, the situation may need separate advice, including restoration procedures where they apply, rather than being treated as an ordinary overdue accounts filing. Delivering outstanding accounts does not guarantee that strike-off action will be stopped or reversed.

Can qualifying companies prepare micro-entity accounts for an overdue period?

Some companies may qualify for the micro-entity framework and file accounts prepared under FRS 105, the financial reporting standard applicable to entities using the micro-entity regime. Not every company qualifies, and eligibility depends on factors such as the company's size and circumstances for the relevant accounting period. An overdue company may originally have been required to prepare micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts, so the correct reporting framework is confirmed before preparation starts.

Are Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements separate from the accounts filed at Companies House?

Yes. Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House where required, while a Corporation Tax Return such as a CT600 is submitted to HMRC where applicable, and a confirmation statement is a separate Companies House filing. Submitting overdue accounts does not automatically satisfy HMRC Corporation Tax obligations, and it does not replace a confirmation statement. Where a company has outstanding accounts alongside other overdue filings, each matter may need to be addressed separately, and we can review what is outstanding so that nothing is overlooked.
