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 Are Overdue Company Accounts, and Why Should Rochdale Directors Act Early?

Company accounts become 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 is not identical for every company. It depends on factors such as the company’s accounting reference period, whether it is filing its first accounts, and the other rules that apply to its circumstances. Once that date has passed, the accounts are treated as outstanding, and the obligation to prepare and file them does not disappear. Directors in Rochdale sometimes assume that nothing needs doing because the company has not traded, has no income, or has not received a reminder. That is not the case. A dormant company can still have overdue accounts, and dormancy does not remove an annual accounts filing obligation. The longer accounts remain outstanding, the more the position can escalate, and Companies House may take action against companies that repeatedly fail to meet their filing obligations. Late-filing penalties can also apply where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, although whether a penalty arises, and how much it is, depends on the individual circumstances and the relevant rules. Filing the accounts and dealing with any penalty are separate matters. Where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period generally needs to be addressed in its own right. We can review the position, confirm what remains outstanding, and assist with preparing and filing the required documents.

─── 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 if my company accounts are overdue?

It means the filing deadline for a set of statutory accounts has passed and those accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. An overdue filing does not automatically suspend the company or remove it from the Companies House register, but the outstanding accounts still need to be prepared and filed. The deadline depends on the company's accounting reference period and circumstances, so the first step is usually to confirm which periods remain outstanding.

Do I still have to file company accounts that are already late?

Yes. An overdue filing does not remove the requirement to prepare and deliver accounts. Statutory accounts must still be filed with Companies House where required, and if several periods are outstanding, each one may need to be dealt with separately. Filing the accounts does not by itself cancel any late-filing penalty that may apply, as the filing obligation and the penalty are separate matters.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company can still have annual accounts filing obligations at Companies House, subject to the applicable requirements, and its accounts can become overdue if the required accounts were not delivered by the relevant deadline. Being dormant or not trading does not automatically mean the company is exempt from filing.

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 much it is, depends on the circumstances and the relevant rules, so it cannot be assumed in advance. Paying any penalty does not remove the requirement to file the outstanding accounts.

What happens if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Each outstanding accounting period generally needs its own set of accounts prepared and filed. Filing one period does not automatically resolve the others, or clear any other outstanding compliance obligations such as confirmation statements or Corporation Tax matters. We can review your Companies House records, confirm which periods remain outstanding, and work through them in order.

Can micro-entity accounts be used to clear an overdue filing?

Possibly, but it depends on the company's circumstances. Some companies with overdue accounts may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, and where they do, FRS 105 would be the applicable financial reporting standard. Not every company qualifies, and eligibility depends on factors such as the company's size, legal structure and accounting period. A company that was originally required to file micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts would still need to file the appropriate accounts for each period.

Are CT600 Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements separate from overdue accounts?

Yes. Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable. A confirmation statement is also separate and is filed with Companies House. Dealing with overdue accounts does not automatically satisfy these other obligations, so a company may need to address each matter separately depending on its circumstances.

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

We can review your Companies House records, confirm which accounting periods are outstanding, and prepare the required accounts for each one. That usually involves information such as bookkeeping records, bank statements, invoices, expense records, company details and previous accounts, although the exact information needed depends on the period being prepared. We will explain what is required, prepare and review the accounts with you, and file the documents with Companies House once you have confirmed and authorised them. Where Corporation Tax Returns or confirmation statements are also outstanding, we can discuss those separately.
