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?

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory filing deadline, which is based on the company’s accounting reference period and its individual circumstances rather than a single date that applies to every business. When that deadline passes and the required accounts have not been delivered, those accounts become overdue — even where the company has not traded, has no income, or has been dormant. Overdue filing is also separate from a company’s other obligations: directors may still need to deal with a confirmation statement, Corporation Tax Returns such as a CT600 where applicable, and any other outstanding filings. Accounts delivered after the deadline can attract a late-filing penalty, and the longer they remain outstanding the more serious the position may become, although what happens depends on the company’s circumstances and its Companies House record. Companies House may take action against companies that repeatedly fail to meet their filing obligations, and persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of compulsory strike-off action. Bringing matters up to date is usually easier to manage than leaving them, because accurate figures for one accounting period often need to be settled before later periods can be prepared. Whether the overdue accounts were originally prepared as micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts depends on the company’s size, reporting framework and eligibility for the period concerned. We can review what has already been filed, identify which periods remain outstanding and assist with preparing and submitting the documents that Companies House requires.

─── 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.

Worried About Overdue Company Accounts? We Can Help You Bring Them Up to Date

Outstanding accounts are a common problem for directors, and they rarely become easier by waiting — each period that remains unfiled can add paperwork and increase the risk of further action by Companies House. Micro Entity Accounts can review which accounting periods are overdue, prepare the statutory accounts that are still required and assist with filing them at Companies House, while explaining clearly what else may need attention, such as a confirmation statement or Corporation Tax matters where applicable. If you are unsure where your company stands, speak to us and we will work through your position with you.

─── 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 if my company accounts are overdue?

It means 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 depends on your company's accounting reference period and its circumstances, so it is not the same for every company. Being overdue does not automatically change your company's status, but the outstanding accounts still need to be prepared and filed.

Do we still have to file accounts that are already late?

In most cases, yes — the accounts still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House even though the deadline has passed. A late filing does not usually remove the obligation itself. Where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period may need to be addressed separately, and we can review your Companies House record to establish exactly what is missing.

Can a dormant company have overdue company accounts?

It can. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate matters. A dormant company may still have an annual accounts filing obligation, and if the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, that period can be overdue. Dormant status does not, by itself, mean the accounts can be ignored, although the accounts themselves may be prepared on a different basis depending on the company's circumstances.

Will Companies House impose a late-filing penalty?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. Whether a penalty applies, and how it is assessed, depends on the circumstances and the company's filing position. The requirement to file the outstanding accounts is separate from any penalty, so paying one does not remove the need to file. If you believe a penalty has been issued incorrectly, eligibility to appeal depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

Several accounting periods are outstanding — can they all be dealt with?

In most cases several sets of accounts can be prepared and filed, but they are usually tackled one period at a time. Figures for an earlier period often need to be settled before later periods can be finalised, and each outstanding period has its own filing position. We can map out which periods are outstanding and work through them in a sensible order.

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

Yes. Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House where required, while a Corporation Tax Return such as a CT600 is submitted to HMRC where applicable. A confirmation statement is also separate and goes to Companies House. Filing overdue accounts does not automatically satisfy those other obligations, so a company may need to deal with them separately, depending on what remains outstanding.

Can micro-entity accounts be used for an overdue filing?

Possibly, where the company qualifies for the micro-entity reporting framework for the period in question. Not every company qualifies, and eligibility depends on factors such as the company's size, legal structure and the accounting period concerned. FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard that applies to qualifying entities using the micro-entity framework. We can confirm which framework is appropriate before the accounts are prepared.

How can Micro Entity Accounts help with overdue company accounts in Retford?

We can review your Companies House filing record, establish which periods are outstanding, prepare the statutory accounts that are required and assist with delivering them to Companies House. We also explain clearly what else may need attention, such as a confirmation statement or Corporation Tax matters where applicable. Our accountants are fully qualified and regulated by ICAEW, ACCA and AAT, and we use clear fixed-fee pricing with no hidden costs.
