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 Early

Company accounts are generally treated as overdue when the statutory filing deadline for a particular accounting period has passed and the required accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. That deadline is not the same for every company — it can depend on factors such as the company’s accounting reference date, whether it is newly incorporated, and its own individual circumstances. Once the deadline has passed, the outstanding accounts remain due, and the position does not resolve itself simply because the company has stopped trading, has no current income, or is dormant. Dormant companies can still have annual accounts filing obligations, and dormancy and overdue filing are separate matters. It is worth dealing with outstanding accounts as promptly as you reasonably can. Companies House can impose late-filing penalties where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the longer a set of accounts remains outstanding, the more serious the consequences may become; persistent non-compliance can also increase the risk of further action being taken against the company. Where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period may need to be addressed separately, with its own set of accounts prepared and delivered where required. Delivering overdue statutory accounts to Companies House does not automatically settle other obligations either — a confirmation statement is a separate filing, and Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable, so those may need to be reviewed alongside the accounts. The appropriate approach depends on your company’s legal structure, accounting period, size and reporting framework, which is why we look at each company’s circumstances before deciding how to proceed.

─── 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?

Accounts become overdue when the statutory filing deadline for an accounting period has passed and the required statutory accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. It is a question of whether the deadline has been met and whether the accounts have been filed, rather than whether the company has been trading, making a profit or holding any particular level of income.

How do company accounts end up overdue?

There are many reasons. A director may have been unsure of the exact filing deadline, the bookkeeping records may not have been complete, there may have been a change of accountant, illness or a period of inactivity, or the company may simply have fallen out of the habit of filing. Whatever the reason, the outstanding accounts still need to be prepared and delivered where required, and we can review your circumstances before recommending how to move forward.

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

Yes. Missing a deadline does not remove the requirement to prepare and deliver the accounts. The accounts for the affected period generally remain outstanding until they are filed, and if several accounting periods have been missed, each one may need to be dealt with separately, subject to the relevant requirements.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

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, those accounts can be overdue in the same way as any other company's. Dormant status does not automatically mean accounts are exempt from filing.

What happens if the accounts are filed late?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. The penalty that may apply depends on factors such as the company type and how late the accounts are, so it is not the same in every case. Paying any penalty does not remove the requirement to file the outstanding accounts — the filing obligation and the penalty are separate matters.

Could overdue accounts affect our company's status?

Not every company with overdue accounts will face action, but Companies House may take steps against companies that fail to meet their filing obligations, and persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of compulsory strike-off action. If a strike-off notice has already been received, or the company has been dissolved, the position may need separate restoration or legal advice rather than being treated as an ordinary overdue filing.

Are Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements separate from the accounts?

Yes. Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable. A confirmation statement is also a separate Companies House filing. Delivering overdue accounts does not automatically satisfy those other obligations, so where a company has overdue Corporation Tax Returns or an outstanding confirmation statement, these may need to be addressed alongside the accounts.

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

Some companies with overdue accounts may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, and where they do, micro-entity accounts prepared under FRS 105 may be appropriate. Not every company qualifies, however — eligibility depends on the company's structure, accounting period, size and reporting framework. We can review your position and confirm which basis of preparation applies before any accounts are finalised.
