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 Overdue Company Accounts Mean for Your Limited Company

Company accounts become overdue when the date by which they should have been delivered to Companies House has passed and the required accounts are still outstanding. The deadline is not identical for every company — it depends on factors such as the accounting reference period, whether it is a first set of accounts and the company’s particular circumstances — so the sensible starting point for any director in Northants is to establish exactly which accounting periods remain open and which filings are still due. Overdue company accounts do not go away because the company has stopped trading, has little income or is dormant; the obligation to deliver annual accounts generally remains, even where the figures involved are straightforward. Once a filing is outstanding, it is usually better to deal with it sooner rather than later. Companies House may take action against companies that repeatedly fail to meet their obligations, late-filing penalties may apply where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the longer a period remains unfiled, the more involved it can become to bring the company’s records back up to date. Filing the outstanding accounts also does not, by itself, settle everything else. Confirmation statements, Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600 and any other matters outstanding with HMRC or Companies House may need to be dealt with separately, depending on the company’s circumstances. At Micro Entity Accounts, we regularly review the position of companies with overdue company accounts, confirm which periods need attention, and prepare the relevant statutory accounts for your review and authorisation before anything is submitted.

─── 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 counts as overdue company accounts?

Company accounts are overdue when the statutory filing deadline for a particular accounting period has passed and the required accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. The applicable deadline depends on the company's accounting reference period and its circumstances, which is why the first step is usually to confirm exactly which periods remain outstanding rather than assuming a single date applies to every company.

Do I still have to file company accounts if they are already overdue?

Yes — in most cases the obligation to prepare and deliver statutory accounts to Companies House remains even after the deadline has passed. Filing late does not remove the requirement; it simply means the accounts are submitted after the due date, and any late-filing penalty is a separate matter from the filing itself. The accounts still need to be prepared, reviewed by the director and authorised before submission.

Can a dormant company have overdue company accounts?

A dormant company can absolutely have overdue accounts. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues: a company may be dormant and eligible to prepare simpler accounts, but it can still be overdue if the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline. Dormant status does not automatically remove annual accounts filing obligations, and any outstanding periods should be reviewed on their own facts.

Can Companies House impose 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 where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the penalty that may apply depends on the circumstances rather than being fixed for every company. Paying any penalty that is due does not remove the requirement to file the outstanding accounts — the two matters are separate, so the accounts must still be prepared and delivered to Companies House where required.

What happens if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Where several accounting periods are outstanding, each period may need its own set of accounts prepared and filed, so filing one set does not automatically resolve the others. The work involved depends on the periods affected and the records available. We can review your company's position and set out which outstanding accounts need to be prepared, then work through them in a sensible order with you.

Can accounts still be filed after a Companies House warning or a strike-off notice?

It may be possible to file outstanding accounts after a warning, but the position needs to be reviewed carefully because filing does not automatically stop or reverse strike-off action being taken by Companies House. If your company has already received a strike-off notice, or has been dissolved, the matter may require separate restoration steps or legal advice rather than being treated as a routine overdue filing, so it is worth seeking guidance promptly.

Are CT600 Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements separate from company accounts?

They are separate compliance matters. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while a Corporation Tax Return such as a CT600 is submitted to HMRC where applicable, and a confirmation statement goes to Companies House and is not a substitute for annual accounts. Filing overdue accounts does not automatically satisfy HMRC Corporation Tax obligations, so any outstanding returns or confirmation statements may need to be addressed alongside them.

Can micro-entity accounts be used for an overdue filing, and how can Micro Entity Accounts help?

Some companies may qualify to prepare accounts under the micro-entity framework, which uses the FRS 105 reporting standard, but not every company qualifies — eligibility depends on the company's legal structure, accounting period and reporting framework. If a company does qualify, micro-entity accounts may be appropriate for an overdue period. We can review your circumstances, confirm the framework that applies, prepare the outstanding accounts and assist with filing them at Companies House once you have approved them.
