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.

Special thanks to Muhammad Saifullah for his assistance.

 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 become overdue when the statutory deadline for a particular accounting reference period has passed and the required accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. That deadline is not identical for every company — it depends on factors such as whether the period is a first set of accounts, the accounting reference date, and the company’s own circumstances. What matters is whether the accounts for that period have actually been filed, not whether the company has traded, made a profit or remained dormant. A dormant company can still have an overdue filing obligation, because dormancy and late filing are separate matters. Directors in Ripon who find themselves in this position are not unusual, and the practical first step is to establish exactly which periods are outstanding and deal with them in order. For each outstanding period, statutory accounts generally need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House where required, and the company may also have separate obligations such as a confirmation statement or a Corporation Tax Return for HMRC. Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the longer accounts remain outstanding the more serious the consequences may become, with persistent non-compliance increasing the risk of further action. Preparing the records and bringing the position up to date usually makes the process easier to manage, and we can review your circumstances before anything is prepared or submitted.

─── 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?

Overdue company accounts are the statutory accounts for an accounting period that should already have been delivered to Companies House but have not been filed by the applicable deadline. Once that date passes with the accounts still outstanding, the filing position is overdue — regardless of whether the company has been trading, has made a profit, or has been dormant during the period.

Why have my company accounts become overdue?

There are many reasons, and they are usually practical rather than deliberate. Records may not have been passed to an accountant in time, the company may have ceased trading and the filing obligation was overlooked, or a change of director or bookkeeping arrangements may have interrupted the process. The important point is not why it happened but which periods remain outstanding, so that each one can be addressed separately.

Do I still need to file accounts if the deadline has already passed?

Yes. Missing the deadline does not remove the requirement to prepare and deliver the accounts. The company's filing obligation continues, and the accounts for the outstanding period or periods still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House where required, subject to the applicable requirements for that company.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

It can. Dormancy and late filing are separate issues. A company that has not traded may still have an annual accounts filing obligation, and if the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline then those accounts are overdue. The reporting framework that applies depends on the company's circumstances, so it is worth checking the position rather than assuming dormancy means nothing is due.

What happens if the accounts are filed late?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the level of that penalty depends on how late the filing is and the company's circumstances. Filing the outstanding accounts is what brings the filing position up to date; the penalty, where one is issued, is a separate matter. Persistent non-compliance can also increase the risk of further action against the company.

If a late-filing penalty is paid, do I still have to file the accounts?

Yes. Paying a penalty does not satisfy the filing obligation and does not remove the requirement to prepare and deliver the outstanding accounts. The accounts still need to be filed, and any penalty appeal or reduction would depend on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules rather than being automatic.

What if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Where several periods are outstanding, each one generally needs to be prepared and delivered separately, so the work is done period by period rather than in a single set of accounts. Filing one period does not automatically resolve the others. We can review the Companies House record first to confirm exactly which accounting periods remain outstanding before any preparation begins.

How can Micro Entity Accounts help with Overdue Company Accounts Filing in Ripon?

We review your company's filing position, confirm which accounting periods are outstanding, and prepare the statutory accounts needed for each one, using the reporting framework that applies to your company — which may be micro-entity accounts under FRS 105, small-company accounts, or another applicable form, depending on eligibility. We then submit the accounts to Companies House once you have reviewed and authorised them, and we can also assist with related matters such as confirmation statements and CT600 Corporation Tax Returns submitted to HMRC where these are relevant to your circumstances.
