 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 statutory deadline that applies to the company. Once that deadline passes and the required accounts have not been delivered, those accounts become overdue; the filing obligation itself has not gone away, it has simply been missed. The deadline is not identical for every company, because it can depend on the accounting reference period and the company’s particular circumstances, so the starting point is usually to check what has actually been filed and what remains outstanding on the Companies House record. Directors of companies in Peterhead can find that a single missed period leads to a second and third, and where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period may need to be prepared and filed separately. The right reporting framework also has to be confirmed rather than assumed: a company may originally have been required to prepare micro-entity accounts under FRS 105, small-company accounts, or another applicable form of statutory accounts, depending on its legal structure, accounting period and size. Dormant status does not automatically remove the obligation either, and filing overdue accounts with Companies House sits alongside other matters that may still need attention, such as a confirmation statement or Corporation Tax Returns submitted to HMRC where applicable. Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts arrive after the applicable deadline, and while the eventual position depends on the circumstances and the applicable rules, the longer accounts remain outstanding the more the situation can build up. Preparing and delivering accurate accounts, and dealing with any separate compliance points, is generally the most straightforward way forward.

─── 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 exactly are overdue company accounts?

Overdue company accounts are simply the annual or statutory accounts that were required to be delivered to Companies House but were not filed by the applicable deadline. They are not a different type of accounts; the same figures and disclosures are prepared, just later than required. Once the deadline has passed, the company's Companies House record may show the accounts as outstanding, and a late-filing penalty may apply depending on the circumstances.

Do outstanding accounts still need to be filed once the deadline has passed?

In most cases, yes. The obligation to prepare and deliver the accounts generally remains even though the deadline has been missed. Where a company has more than one outstanding accounting period, each period may need to be prepared and filed separately, and filing one set of accounts does not automatically clear the others. The appropriate reporting framework depends on the company's size, legal structure and accounting period, so it is worth confirming what is required before preparation begins.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts in Peterhead?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company can still have companies house filing obligations, and if the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, they will be overdue. Some dormant companies may be able to take advantage of limited filing exemptions, but that depends on the circumstances and does not mean dormancy removes the need to keep the company's records and filings up to date.

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

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. The actual outcome depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules, so penalty levels, any reduction for early settlement and whether an appeal is possible should not be assumed. Generally speaking, the longer accounts remain outstanding, the more the position can escalate, and persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of further action against the company.

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

No. The requirement to file the outstanding accounts and any penalty that may apply are separate matters. Paying a penalty does not discharge the filing obligation, and delivering the accounts does not automatically remove or cancel a penalty that has already been issued. Where an appeal is considered, eligibility depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules, so no accountant can guarantee that a penalty will be reduced, cancelled or refunded.

Can accounts still be filed if the company has received a strike-off warning?

Companies House may take action against companies that fail to meet their filing obligations, and repeated non-compliance can increase the risk of compulsory strike-off action. If a warning or strike-off notice has been received, the position is usually more time-sensitive and should be reviewed promptly. Filing overdue accounts does not guarantee that strike-off action will be stopped, particularly once the process is under way. If the company has already been dissolved, that is a different situation which may require restoration or separate legal advice rather than an ordinary overdue accounts filing.

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

Some companies with overdue accounts may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, using FRS 105, which is the financial reporting standard applicable to qualifying entities under that framework. Eligibility is not automatic and does not follow simply from being a small business — the company's legal structure, accounting period and size all have to be considered, and a company's position can change between periods. We confirm the appropriate framework before any overdue filing is prepared.

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

Yes, these are separate compliance matters. Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable — delivering overdue accounts to Companies House does not automatically satisfy HMRC obligations. A confirmation statement is also submitted to Companies House and is not the same as annual accounts, so filing overdue accounts does not replace it. Where any of these remain outstanding, they may need to be addressed individually with the relevant body.
