 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 Overdue Company Accounts Mean — and Why It Pays to Deal With Them Early

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the statutory deadline that applies to the company’s accounting reference period. When that date passes and the required accounts have still not been delivered, the accounts become overdue. The relevant deadline is not identical for every company — it depends on factors such as the accounting reference period, whether it is a first set of accounts, and the company’s own reporting circumstances — so the starting point is always to check what is actually due and what Companies House currently holds on file. Leaving accounts outstanding tends not to resolve itself. The filing obligation usually remains in place, and Companies House can impose late-filing penalties when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, with the consequences becoming more significant the longer a filing stays outstanding. Dormancy makes no difference here: a dormant company can still have annual accounts filing obligations, and dormancy does not by itself mean accounts are exempt from filing. Where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period generally needs to be addressed separately, because preparing and filing one set of accounts does not automatically clear the others. Directors in Reepham who discover that accounts are overdue often find the position is more manageable than they feared once someone reviews the paperwork, confirms which periods are outstanding and sets out what needs to be prepared. If your company has received a strike-off notice or has already been dissolved, that is a different situation and may need separate restoration or legal advice rather than being treated as a routine late filing.

─── 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 for company accounts to be overdue?

Company accounts are overdue when the statutory filing deadline for a set of accounts has passed and those accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. The deadline itself depends on the company's accounting reference period and its individual circumstances, so it is not the same date for every company. Being overdue does not mean the company has been suspended, dissolved or removed from the register — it means the required filing has not been made.

Do I still have to file accounts that are already overdue?

In most cases, yes. Where a company has an outstanding statutory filing obligation, the accounts still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House subject to the applicable requirements. Allowing accounts to remain outstanding generally does not remove that obligation, and any late-filing penalty that may apply is a separate matter from the requirement to file. We can review which periods are outstanding and prepare the accounts that are due.

Can a dormant company have overdue company accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company can still have annual accounts filing obligations, and if it failed to deliver the required accounts by the applicable deadline, those accounts are overdue. Dormant status does not automatically exempt a company from filing, although the form of accounts a dormant company needs to prepare depends on its circumstances.

What happens if statutory accounts are filed after the deadline?

Where accounts are delivered to Companies House after the applicable deadline, Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty. Penalty bandings and amounts are not the same in every case and depend on factors such as how late the filing is and the company's circumstances, so we would not quote a figure without reviewing the position. The longer accounts remain outstanding, the more serious the consequences may become, which is why addressing them promptly is usually the sensible approach.

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

No. Paying a late-filing penalty does not cancel the underlying obligation to prepare and deliver the outstanding accounts. The filing requirement and the penalty are separate matters, and settling one does not resolve the other. Equally, an accountant cannot automatically reduce, remove or cancel a Companies House penalty — whether an appeal is possible depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules, and we can review that with you where relevant.

What happens if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Each outstanding accounting period generally needs to be dealt with separately, so several sets of accounts may need to be prepared and filed. Filing one period does not automatically resolve the others, and the information required for each period will depend on the records available for that year. We can map out exactly which periods are outstanding before any preparation work begins, so the sequence is clear from the start.

Can overdue company accounts lead to strike-off action against the company?

Companies House may take action against companies that fail to meet their filing obligations, and persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of compulsory strike-off action. That said, not every company with overdue accounts will be dissolved automatically. Filing the outstanding accounts does not guarantee that strike-off action will be prevented or reversed. If your company has already received a strike-off notice, or has been dissolved, the position may require separate restoration or legal advice rather than an ordinary overdue filing.

Can micro-entity accounts be used for an overdue filing if the company qualifies?

Some companies may qualify to prepare accounts under the micro-entity framework, with FRS 105 being the financial reporting standard that applies to qualifying entities using that framework. Eligibility depends on the company's legal structure, accounting period, size and reporting framework, so it cannot be assumed that every small or overdue company qualifies. An overdue company may originally have been required to prepare micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts. We assess eligibility before deciding how the accounts should be prepared and filed.
