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.

 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 Are Overdue

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline for the relevant accounting reference period. When that date passes and the required accounts have not been delivered, the accounts are treated as overdue — whether or not the company has been actively trading. The deadline itself depends on the company’s accounting reference date and its individual circumstances, so it is not identical for every company, and it is the director’s responsibility to ensure the filing obligation is met. Leaving accounts outstanding can lead to consequences that become more significant over time, including the possibility of late-filing penalties and further action by Companies House where non-compliance continues. For directors in Pulborough, it is also worth remembering that dormant status does not remove the annual accounts filing obligation — a dormant company can still have overdue accounts if the required accounts were not delivered on time. Bringing the position up to date normally involves preparing accurate statutory accounts for each outstanding period and delivering them to Companies House, then checking separately whether other obligations, such as confirmation statements or Corporation Tax matters with HMRC, also remain outstanding.

─── 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?

Company accounts become overdue when the statutory filing deadline for an accounting period has passed and the required accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. It is a filing position rather than a change in the company's legal status, and it can apply to a trading company and a dormant company alike. The relevant deadline depends on the company's accounting reference period and its particular circumstances, so it is worth checking the company's own Companies House record rather than assuming a standard date applies.

Why have our company accounts become overdue?

There is rarely a single reason. Common causes include a change of accountant, incomplete bookkeeping records, a period of inactivity, an assumption that nothing needed to be filed because the company was not trading, or simply a deadline that was missed during a busy period. Whatever the background, the filing obligation itself remains, and the practical step is to establish which accounting periods are outstanding and what needs to be prepared for each one.

Do we still have to file the accounts now that the deadline has passed?

Yes. Passing the deadline does not remove the requirement to prepare and deliver the accounts. Where a company has more than one outstanding accounting period, each period generally needs to be addressed separately, as filing one set of accounts does not automatically resolve the others. We can review your company's filing history and confirm which periods still require statutory accounts.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate matters. A dormant company may still be required to file annual accounts with Companies House, and if those accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, the company can have overdue accounts in exactly the same way as a trading company. Dormant status does not by itself exempt a company from its filing obligations, although the content of the accounts will usually be simpler.

What are the consequences of filing company accounts late?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the position can become more serious the longer the accounts remain outstanding. Penalties are not optional and the amount can vary depending on how late the filing is and the company's circumstances. Filing the accounts and dealing with any penalty are separate matters — paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to file the outstanding accounts.

If we pay a late-filing penalty, does that resolve everything?

No. Settling a penalty does not discharge the underlying filing obligation, and the outstanding accounts would still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House. Where a penalty has been issued, it may be possible to appeal in certain circumstances, but eligibility depends on the applicable Companies House rules and the facts of the case. We can explain the options that may be available to you.

What if several accounting periods are outstanding?

It is not unusual for more than one period to be outstanding, particularly where a company has been inactive or has changed accountant. Each period normally requires its own set of statutory accounts, prepared for the correct accounting period and reporting framework, so the work is usually handled period by period. Once the picture is clear, the process becomes considerably more manageable than it first appears.

Can we still file if Companies House has issued a strike-off warning?

It depends on the stage the matter has reached. Where a company has received a strike-off notice but has not yet been dissolved, it may still be possible to bring the filings up to date, although the position is more urgent and the process differs from a routine overdue filing. If the company has already been dissolved, that normally requires separate restoration action and possibly legal advice rather than a straightforward accounts filing. We can review your circumstances and explain what may be appropriate.
