 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with Accotx on a HMRC reclaim and overall, they did ultimately deliver on their promise, which I appreciate. The process did take longer than any of us expected, partly due to external delays with the tax authorities, and partly because there were some hiccups in communication and follow-up. However, despite those challenges, they stayed professional and stuck to the original agreed terms. If you’re considering using them, be prepared to stay in regular contact to keep things moving along. They are absolutely capable, have the expertise and willing to work with you, and overall  improving their services over time. I would certainly return for any future needs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Imran to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable accountant. 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.

─── OVERDUE ACCOUNTS EXPLAINED

What Makes Company Accounts Overdue, and Why It Pays to Act

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline, which is determined by reference to the company’s accounting reference period and its individual circumstances. Once that date passes and the required accounts have still not been delivered, the accounts are overdue — whether the company traded actively, had a quiet year, or was dormant. Directors in Plymouth should not assume that a quiet period removes the obligation: dormant companies can also have annual accounts filing obligations, and dormancy and overdue filing are two separate issues. What follows depends on the company’s position. Outstanding statutory accounts generally need to be prepared for each accounting period concerned and delivered to Companies House where required, and where more than one period is outstanding, each is usually addressed separately. Late delivery may mean that Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty, although the position is not identical for every company. It is also worth remembering that filing the accounts and dealing with any penalty are separate matters, and that persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of further action by Companies House, including compulsory strike-off action in more serious cases. If a company has already received a strike-off notice or has been dissolved, that situation may need to be treated separately rather than as an ordinary late filing. The practical first step is to establish exactly what is outstanding, which reporting framework applies — micro-entity accounts under FRS 105 where the company qualifies, small-company accounts, or another applicable form — and what information is needed to prepare the figures.

─── 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 the statutory accounts for an accounting period that have not been delivered to Companies House by the applicable filing deadline. Once that date passes with the accounts still outstanding, they are treated as overdue — regardless of whether the company traded, made a profit, or was dormant throughout the period. For directors in Plymouth, the key point is that the obligation does not disappear with the deadline: the accounts still need to be prepared and delivered, using the reporting framework that fits the company's size, structure and accounting period.

Can a dormant company in Plymouth have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate matters. Dormant status may affect the type of accounts a company prepares and what is included in them, but it does not remove the requirement to deliver accounts to Companies House by the applicable deadline. If a dormant company's filing deadline passed without the required accounts being delivered, those accounts are overdue and generally still need to be prepared and filed, where applicable.

Do we still have to file if the deadline has already passed?

In most cases, yes. The passing of the deadline does not remove the filing requirement. Outstanding accounts generally still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House where required, for the correct accounting period and under the appropriate reporting framework. Late delivery may also mean that Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty, depending on the circumstances. Filing the accounts and dealing with any penalty are separate matters, so paying a penalty does not take away the need to file.

Will Companies House impose a late-filing penalty?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. Penalty levels are set out in the applicable Companies House rules and can depend on factors such as how late the accounts are and whether the company has filed late previously, so the outcome is not the same for every company. We can review your company's filing history and circumstances so you understand the position before the accounts are submitted, but we cannot guarantee a particular penalty outcome.

If we pay the penalty, does that mean we no longer need to file the accounts?

No — the penalty and the filing obligation are separate. Paying a penalty does not cancel or remove the requirement to prepare and deliver the outstanding accounts. Where a penalty has been issued and an appeal is being considered, whether an appeal is possible depends on the specific circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules; we can review the position with you, but no accountant can automatically reduce, remove or cancel a Companies House penalty.

Several accounting periods are outstanding. Can they all be brought up to date?

It is quite common for more than one accounting period to be outstanding, particularly where a company has fallen behind over a number of years. Each period generally needs to be handled separately: separate accounts must be prepared for each accounting period, and each set delivered to Companies House where required. Filing one period does not automatically resolve the others, so it usually helps to establish exactly what is outstanding before preparation begins. The information needed will depend on the periods involved and the records available.

Are CT600 Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements dealt with by filing the accounts?

No, these are separate compliance matters. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while a CT600 Corporation Tax Return is submitted to HMRC where applicable, and a confirmation statement is filed with Companies House separately from the annual accounts. Filing overdue accounts does not automatically satisfy a company's Corporation Tax obligations, and it does not replace the confirmation statement. Where several obligations are outstanding, each needs to be addressed in its own right, and we can help you work out what applies to your company.

Can overdue accounts be prepared as micro-entity accounts?

Some companies with overdue accounts may qualify for the micro-entity framework, and where a company qualifies, the accounts may be prepared under FRS 105, the financial reporting standard applicable to qualifying entities using the micro-entity accounting framework. Qualification is not automatic for every small company — it depends on the company's size, legal structure and the accounting period being prepared. Eligibility should be confirmed before the reporting framework is settled, and we can review this as part of preparing the outstanding accounts.
