Company accounts become overdue when the applicable statutory filing deadline has passed and the required accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. The accounts remain outstanding until they are properly prepared and filed. The relevant deadline is not the same for every company — it depends on factors such as the company's accounting reference period and its particular circumstances, so it is worth checking the company's filing record rather than assuming a date.
In most cases, yes. The fact that accounts are already late does not remove the obligation to prepare and deliver them. Depending on the company's size, legal structure and circumstances, the outstanding accounts may need to be prepared as micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts, and eligibility for a particular framework needs to be considered before anything is prepared. We can review the position and confirm what is required for each outstanding period.
Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company can still have Companies House filing obligations, and if the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, those accounts are overdue like any others. Dormant status does not automatically mean accounts are exempt from filing, although the accounts themselves may be simpler, subject to the relevant requirements. We can look at the company's circumstances and explain what still needs to be dealt with.
Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline has passed. The penalty position depends on the circumstances of the filing and how late the accounts are, so it is not identical in every case. Paying a penalty and filing the accounts are two separate matters: the requirement to deliver the outstanding accounts remains regardless of any penalty. We can help you bring the accounts up to date, but we cannot promise any particular outcome on penalties.
No. A late-filing penalty relates to the delay in delivering the accounts, while the filing obligation itself still stands. If accounts remain outstanding, they still need to be prepared and delivered, so paying a penalty does not cancel or replace that requirement. Where a company considers that a penalty was issued incorrectly, an appeal may be possible depending on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules. We can review the position with you and explain the options that may apply.
Where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period may need to be addressed separately, with its own set of accounts prepared and delivered. Filing one set of accounts does not automatically resolve the other outstanding periods. We would normally start by reviewing the company's Companies House record and other filing obligations to establish exactly which periods remain outstanding, then work through them in a sensible order. The records required for older periods can vary.
Yes, these are separate compliance matters. Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House where required, whereas Corporation Tax Returns such as the CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable. A confirmation statement is submitted to Companies House and is distinct from annual accounts. Delivering overdue accounts to Companies House does not automatically satisfy outstanding HMRC Corporation Tax obligations or deal with a confirmation statement, so these may need to be reviewed and handled in their own right.
We support company directors and eligible entities in Rothwell who need to bring outstanding accounts up to date. That typically involves reviewing the company's filing position, identifying which accounting periods remain outstanding, preparing the relevant statutory accounts and assisting with delivery to Companies House. We will also tell you what information we need to get started, which may include bookkeeping records, bank statements, invoices, expense records, previous accounts and current company details, and we will keep the process clear and straightforward from there, with transparent fixed-fee pricing and no hidden costs.
