Company accounts become overdue when the applicable statutory filing deadline has passed and the required accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. The deadline depends on factors such as the company's accounting reference period and its circumstances, so it is not the same for every company. Being overdue does not remove the obligation to file: the accounts still need to be prepared and delivered, and the outstanding position should be addressed as soon as it reasonably can be. Where more than one period is outstanding, each one may need to be dealt with separately.
Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company can still have annual accounts filing obligations with Companies House, and if the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, those accounts can be overdue. Dormant status does not automatically mean the accounts are exempt from filing, so it is sensible to check the company's Companies House record and confirm what remains outstanding rather than assuming nothing needs to be done.
When accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty. Whether a penalty applies, and how it is assessed, depends on the circumstances and is not identical for every company. Late delivery can also affect how the company's filing record is viewed, and persistent non-compliance may increase the risk of further action, including compulsory strike-off in some cases. Filing the overdue accounts and dealing with any penalty are separate matters — one does not automatically resolve the other.
No. Paying a penalty does not satisfy the underlying filing obligation or cancel it out. The outstanding accounts still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House, and any penalty applies separately because the deadline was missed. Where a penalty appeal is being considered, eligibility depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules, and it is not possible to guarantee that a penalty will be reduced, removed or cancelled.
Where there are multiple outstanding periods, several sets of accounts may need to be prepared and filed, and each period is generally addressed separately. Filing one set of accounts does not automatically resolve the others. The work involved depends on the records available, the length and nature of the periods concerned and the company's circumstances, so it usually helps to review the full picture first before deciding the order in which the outstanding accounts should be prepared.
Some companies may qualify to prepare accounts under the micro-entity framework, and where they do, that framework can be used for the accounts being brought up to date. Not every company qualifies, however, and not every overdue filing will be a micro-entity set — eligibility depends on the company's size, legal structure, accounting period and other relevant criteria. Where the micro-entity framework applies, it uses financial reporting rules such as FRS 105. We can confirm the appropriate framework once your company's circumstances have been reviewed.
Yes. Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns, including CT600 returns, are submitted to HMRC where applicable. Delivering accounts to Companies House does not automatically satisfy a company's Corporation Tax obligations, so any overdue returns would need to be dealt with as a separate matter. A confirmation statement is also separate from annual accounts and is delivered to Companies House, meaning a company bringing its accounts up to date may still need to review its confirmation statement and other outstanding filings.
Micro Entity Accounts supports company directors in Purleigh and elsewhere who need help with Overdue Company Accounts Filing. We can review what has been filed and what remains outstanding, confirm which reporting framework applies, prepare the statutory accounts from the records available and assist with delivery to Companies House. We will explain the information we need, such as bookkeeping records, bank statements, invoices and previous accounts, depending on the periods involved. Documents requiring your review, confirmation or authorisation are clearly identified before submission, and related matters such as Corporation Tax obligations can be looked at separately where relevant. Pricing is transparent and based on a simple fixed fee, with no hidden costs.
