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 On

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the statutory deadline that applies to the company’s accounting reference period. Once that date has passed and the required accounts have not been delivered, the accounts are treated as overdue, whether or not the company has been trading, has made a profit or has any income at present. Directors of companies in Petworth and elsewhere in the UK remain responsible for making sure those outstanding accounts are prepared and filed. Filing deadlines are not identical for every company. The due date can depend on factors such as the accounting reference date, whether it has been changed, how long the company has been incorporated and the company’s individual circumstances, so it is worth checking the position for each accounting period rather than assuming one date applies to all of them. The accounts themselves may also take a different form depending on the company’s size, structure and reporting framework. It is usually better to deal with overdue accounts sooner rather than later. Where accounts remain outstanding, Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty, and the position can become more serious the longer the delay continues, although what happens in practice depends on the circumstances of each case. Persistent non-compliance can also increase the risk of further action being taken against a company. Bringing the accounts up to date gives directors a clearer picture of the company’s finances and of what else may still need attention, such as a confirmation statement or Corporation Tax obligations.

─── 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 makes company accounts overdue?

Company accounts become overdue when the filing deadline for the relevant accounting period has passed and the required accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. The deadline is based on the company's accounting reference date and its own circumstances, so it is not the same for every company or every period. If you are unsure whether a set of accounts is still outstanding, the company's filing history at Companies House and the company's own records are the usual starting point.

Do accounts that are already overdue still have to be filed?

Yes. An overdue filing does not remove the obligation to prepare and deliver the accounts. Where statutory accounts are required, they still need to be prepared and filed with Companies House, subject to the applicable requirements. Dormancy, a lack of trading or an absence of income does not automatically exempt a company from its filing obligations, and the form the accounts take depends on the company's circumstances rather than simply on whether it has traded.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

It can. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company may still have annual accounts filing obligations, and if the applicable deadline passed without the required accounts being delivered, those accounts are overdue. Dormant status does not by itself remove the requirement to file, and dormant accounts are not the same thing as overdue accounts.

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

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the level of any penalty depends on how late the accounts are and the relevant Companies House rules. The longer the accounts remain outstanding, the more serious the consequences may become, and persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of compulsory strike-off action, although that is not automatic and does not follow in every case. Filing overdue accounts also does not automatically resolve other outstanding obligations, such as an overdue confirmation statement or a Corporation Tax Return due to HMRC.

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

No. The penalty and the filing obligation are separate matters. Paying a penalty does not satisfy the requirement to prepare and deliver the outstanding accounts, and it does not cancel that requirement. If you believe a penalty has been issued incorrectly, an appeal may be possible depending on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules, but eligibility and outcome cannot be guaranteed.

What happens when several accounting periods are outstanding?

Where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period generally needs to be addressed separately, and several sets of accounts may need to be prepared and filed. We can review the company's filing history and records to establish which periods remain outstanding, then work through them in a sensible order. Filing one set of accounts does not automatically resolve the other outstanding periods.

Can micro-entity accounts be used where the company qualifies?

Some companies may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, which is set out in FRS 105, but not every small company does. Eligibility depends on the company's legal structure, accounting period, size and circumstances, and the same tests apply to accounts being prepared late as to accounts that were filed on time. Where a company does not qualify as a micro-entity, small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts may be required instead.

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

Our accountants can review your company's filing position, identify which accounting periods are outstanding and prepare the statutory accounts that are due, taking into account the company's structure, accounting period and reporting framework. We can assist with filing the accounts with Companies House where required, explain any separate matters such as confirmation statements or Corporation Tax obligations, and keep you informed at each stage. All of our accountants are fully qualified and regulated by ICAEW, ACCA and AAT, and our pricing for this work is clear and agreed in advance, with no hidden costs.
