 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 Early

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline, which is based on the company’s accounting reference date and its individual circumstances. When that deadline passes and the required accounts have not been delivered, those accounts are treated as overdue — whether or not the company has been actively trading. Directors in Paisley sometimes assume that a quiet year, a dormant period or a lack of income means there is nothing to file, but the filing obligation does not work that way, and it is worth checking the Companies House record rather than relying on an assumption. Preparing and delivering the outstanding statutory accounts is usually the starting point, and dealing with them sooner rather than later tends to make the process more straightforward, since records become harder to reconstruct over time. Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the deadline, and persistent failure to file can lead to further action against the company. It is important to understand that filing the outstanding accounts and any penalty that has been incurred are separate matters — paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to file, and filing does not automatically cancel a penalty. Where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period generally needs to be prepared and filed separately. The appropriate accounts also vary: a company may have been required to prepare micro-entity accounts under the micro-entity framework, small-company accounts under another reporting framework, or a different form of statutory accounts entirely, depending on its size, structure and accounting period. Because the right approach depends on your specific circumstances, it is sensible to have the position reviewed 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.

What does it mean if a company's accounts are overdue?

Company accounts become overdue when the statutory accounts a company is required to deliver to Companies House have not been filed by the applicable filing deadline. That deadline is not identical for every company — it depends on the company's accounting reference period and its particular circumstances. If the relevant date has passed and the accounts remain outstanding, the company has an unmet filing obligation, and the position should be addressed rather than left in place.

Why do company accounts end up overdue in the first place?

The reasons vary. A director may have believed the company was too small or too inactive to file, the bookkeeping records may be incomplete, or the company may have changed accountant partway through an accounting period. Sometimes the accounting reference date was simply misunderstood, or an earlier period was never finalised, which then affects the periods that follow. Whatever the cause, the filing obligation itself does not disappear, and the practical way forward usually begins with a review of what has been delivered to Companies House and what is still outstanding.

Do overdue accounts still have to be filed?

Yes, in most cases the outstanding accounts still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House where the company is required to file them. An overdue filing does not remove the underlying obligation, and the accounts cannot usually be skipped simply because time has passed, the company has not traded, or no income was generated during the period. Filing overdue accounts does not, however, automatically resolve every other compliance matter — confirmation statements, Corporation Tax Returns and other filings may need to be dealt with separately.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

It can. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company can still have annual accounts filing obligations at Companies House, and if the applicable deadline passed without the required accounts being delivered, those accounts are overdue. Dormant status does not automatically exempt a company from filing, even though the content of dormant company accounts will differ from that of a trading company. It is worth confirming the position on the Companies House record rather than assuming nothing is due.

What happens if overdue accounts are filed late?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. The level of any penalty depends on how late the accounts are and on the company's circumstances, and it is not something that can be predicted in advance. Filing the outstanding accounts and any penalty that may apply are treated as separate matters: paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to file, and filing does not automatically cancel a penalty. Where a penalty has been issued, whether an appeal is possible depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

If several accounting periods are outstanding, how is that handled?

Where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period generally needs 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 matter. We would normally start by reviewing the company's Companies House record to establish exactly which periods are outstanding, then work through them in sequence using the records available for each period. The exact scope depends on how many periods are involved and on the quality of the underlying records.

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

Some companies with overdue accounts may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework and, where they do, FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard that applies to qualifying entities using that framework. It is not automatic: eligibility depends on the company's legal structure, accounting period, size and circumstances, and not every small company qualifies. An overdue company may originally have been required to prepare micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts under another framework, or a different form of statutory accounts entirely. We confirm the appropriate framework once the company's position has been reviewed.

How can Micro Entity Accounts assist with an overdue filing?

We begin by reviewing what has been delivered to Companies House and identifying the periods that remain outstanding. From there we prepare the statutory accounts for each affected period, assist with delivery to Companies House where required, and flag any separate matters — such as Corporation Tax Returns, including CT600 submissions to HMRC where applicable, or an outstanding confirmation statement — so you know what still needs attention. Your accounts are prepared by accountants who are fully qualified and regulated by ICAEW, ACCA and AAT, and you have the opportunity to review and authorise the accounts before submission. Pricing is transparent and fixed-fee, agreed before work begins, with no hidden costs.
