 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 It Means When Company Accounts Become Overdue

Company accounts become overdue when the statutory filing deadline for a set of accounts passes without those accounts being delivered to Companies House. The deadline is not identical for every company — it depends on the accounting reference period, whether it is a first set of accounts and other circumstances — so the sensible starting point is to check the company’s own filing record and confirm which periods remain outstanding. Once the deadline has passed, the obligation to prepare and deliver the accounts does not disappear: the outstanding statutory accounts still need to be prepared and filed at Companies House where required. Directors in Pickering who leave late accounts unaddressed may find the position becomes more involved over time, with further Companies House correspondence, escalating late-filing penalties depending on how late the filing is, and a greater risk of strike-off action in cases of persistent non-compliance. Filing is rarely the only item on the list either, because a confirmation statement is submitted separately, and any Corporation Tax obligations — including a CT600 Corporation Tax Return where applicable — are handled with HMRC rather than Companies House. What is appropriate in your case depends on the company’s legal structure, size, reporting framework and how many accounting periods are involved, so we review those circumstances before preparing anything.

─── 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 does it mean if my company accounts are overdue?

It means the deadline for delivering a set of statutory accounts to Companies House has passed and those accounts are still outstanding. The applicable deadline varies between companies — it depends on the accounting reference period, whether it is a first set of accounts and other circumstances — so it is worth checking the company's own filing history rather than assuming a standard date applies. Once the deadline has gone by, the accounts remain outstanding until they are prepared and delivered, and dealing with them sooner generally keeps the position more straightforward.

Do overdue company accounts still have to be filed?

Yes. A missed deadline does not remove the underlying obligation, and the outstanding statutory accounts still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House where required. It is also important not to assume that filing the accounts settles everything else, because a confirmation statement is submitted separately and any Corporation Tax obligations, including a CT600 Corporation Tax Return where applicable, are dealt with through HMRC. Directors in Pickering may therefore need to review the whole compliance position rather than the accounts alone.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

It can. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate matters. A dormant company may still have annual accounts filing obligations at Companies House, and where those accounts were not delivered by the relevant deadline they can be overdue in the same way as a trading company's accounts. Dormant status on its own is not a reason to assume there is nothing to file, so the filing record should be checked before deciding what steps to take.

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

Where accounts are delivered late, Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty, and the penalty can increase the longer the accounts remain outstanding. Penalty levels are set by Companies House and depend on how late the filing is, so no single figure applies to every company. Filing the accounts and paying any penalty are separate matters: paying a penalty does not file the accounts, and filing the accounts does not automatically cancel a penalty. An appeal against a penalty may be possible in some circumstances, but eligibility depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules. Persistent failure to file can also increase the risk of strike-off action, and filing does not guarantee that any action already under way will be stopped.

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

No. The penalty and the filing obligation are distinct. Settling a late-filing penalty does not satisfy the requirement to deliver the outstanding accounts, and those accounts will still need to be prepared and filed. Likewise, we cannot promise that a penalty will be reduced, removed or cancelled, as those outcomes depend on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

What if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

It is not unusual for a company to have fallen behind across several periods, particularly where trading was limited or records were not kept up to date. Where that has happened, each outstanding period generally needs to be addressed in its own right, because a separate set of accounts is prepared for each accounting period. Filing one set does not automatically clear the others. We can review which periods are outstanding and work through them in a sensible order, depending on the records available and the company's circumstances.

Could overdue accounts be filed under the micro-entity framework?

Possibly, but it is not automatic. A company that meets the qualifying conditions may be able to prepare accounts under the micro-entity framework, using FRS 105, the financial reporting standard applicable to qualifying entities using that framework. A company that was originally required to prepare small-company accounts, or another applicable form of statutory accounts, may need to continue on that basis depending on its size, accounting period and circumstances. Eligibility is considered before any accounts are prepared.

How can Micro Entity Accounts help with overdue company accounts in Pickering?

We can review your Companies House filing history, identify which accounting periods are outstanding and prepare the statutory accounts needed for each one — whether that is micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another applicable form, depending on your company's circumstances. We also assist with filing those accounts at Companies House and will flag any separate items, such as a confirmation statement or HMRC Corporation Tax obligations, so you can see the full picture. Our accountants are qualified and regulated by ICAEW, ACCA and AAT, and simple fixed-fee pricing is confirmed with you before work begins.
