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.

 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

Overdue Company Accounts Explained: What Company Directors Need to Know

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline for the company’s accounting reference period. When that deadline passes and the required accounts have not been delivered, those accounts are treated as overdue. This applies whether the company has been actively trading, has had a quiet period, or has been dormant — dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues, and a dormant company can still have outstanding accounts obligations. The deadline is not identical for every company; it can depend on factors such as the accounting reference period, whether that period has been changed, and the company’s individual circumstances, so the position is best checked rather than assumed. Directors in Romford and elsewhere should not treat outstanding accounts as something that can simply be left, because the longer accounts remain overdue, the more serious the position may become. Companies House can impose late-filing penalties when accounts are delivered after the deadline, and persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of further action. It is also important to recognise that statutory accounts, confirmation statements and Corporation Tax matters such as CT600 returns are separate requirements, so resolving one filing does not automatically resolve the others. Where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period may need to be prepared and delivered separately. We can review your circumstances, identify which periods remain outstanding and assist with preparing and filing the accounts 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.

─── 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 when company accounts are described as overdue?

Accounts become overdue when the statutory filing deadline for a set of accounts has passed and those accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. The deadline is linked to the company's accounting reference period and can vary depending on the company's circumstances, including whether the period has been changed. Until the accounts are prepared and delivered, the company remains in default on that particular filing, regardless of the reason for the delay.

Do we still have to file company accounts that are already overdue?

Yes. Where a company is required to prepare and deliver statutory accounts to Companies House, that requirement does not disappear because the deadline has passed. The accounts generally still need to be prepared and filed, and the position can become more involved the longer they remain outstanding. Filing overdue accounts addresses the Companies House filing itself, but other obligations — such as a confirmation statement, or a Corporation Tax Return like the CT600 submitted to HMRC where applicable — are separate matters that may need to be dealt with in their own right.

Can a dormant company have overdue company accounts?

Yes, it can. Dormancy and overdue filing are two distinct issues. A dormant company may still be required to file annual accounts with Companies House if it falls within the filing requirements, and if those accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, they are overdue. Dormant status does not automatically remove the filing obligation, so it is worth checking the Companies House record to confirm which periods, if any, remain outstanding.

Can Companies House impose a late-filing penalty, and does paying it cancel the filing requirement?

Companies House can impose late-filing penalties when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the penalty that applies depends on how late the filing is and the company's circumstances. Paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to file the outstanding accounts — the penalty and the filing obligation are separate matters. Whether a penalty can be appealed depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules, and we can review your position before anything is submitted.

What happens if several accounting periods are outstanding?

Each outstanding accounting period is normally dealt with as its own set of accounts. If two or more periods have not been filed, each one may need to be prepared and delivered separately, using the correct figures for that period. Filing one set of accounts does not automatically clear the others, so it helps to establish exactly which periods remain outstanding before work begins. We can review the Companies House record and work through the outstanding periods with you.

Can overdue accounts affect our company's status or lead to strike-off action?

An overdue filing simply means the deadline has passed and the accounts remain outstanding; it does not by itself mean the company's status has changed. That said, Companies House may take action against companies that continue to fail to meet their filing obligations, and persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of compulsory strike-off action. Filing the outstanding accounts addresses the default, but it does not guarantee that any action already commenced will be stopped or reversed. If your company has received a strike-off notice or has already been dissolved, that situation may need to be handled separately, potentially with restoration or legal advice.

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

Where a company qualifies, the micro-entity framework and FRS 105 may be available for preparing its statutory accounts, including accounts being filed late. Qualification depends on the company's size, legal structure and circumstances for the relevant accounting period, so it should not be assumed. Some companies may instead prepare small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts. We check eligibility for the period in question before deciding which reporting framework applies.

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

We can review your company's position, confirm which accounting periods remain outstanding and prepare the statutory accounts required for each one. Our qualified accountants, regulated by ICAEW, ACCA and AAT, work from your records — such as bookkeeping information, bank statements, invoices, expense records and previous accounts — and explain what is needed in plain terms. Once the accounts are prepared and you have reviewed and approved them, we assist with filing at Companies House. We can also flag related matters still to be addressed, such as a confirmation statement or Corporation Tax filings, under straightforward fixed-fee pricing.
