He helped me sort out a very complicated backlog of accounts and prepared my overdue tax returns with professionalism and attention to detail.

 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, and Why It Matters

Company accounts become overdue when a limited company’s statutory accounts are not delivered to Companies House by the applicable filing deadline. That deadline is not identical for every company — it depends on factors such as the company’s accounting reference period, whether these are its first accounts, and its particular circumstances — so directors should check the position for their own company rather than assume a standard date applies. Once the deadline has passed and the required accounts remain outstanding, the filing obligation does not disappear. The accounts still need to be prepared under the correct reporting framework and delivered to Companies House where required. Directors in Runcorn who have missed a filing date are often dealing with several things at once: incomplete bookkeeping records, a change of accountant, a period of inactivity, or more than one accounting period that has built up over time. Each outstanding period generally needs to be addressed in its own right rather than treated as a single filing. There can also be consequences to manage. Companies House may impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the deadline, and the longer accounts stay outstanding, the more serious the position may become, including a greater risk of enforcement action where non-compliance continues. Filing overdue accounts does not automatically cancel a penalty that has already been incurred; the requirement to file and any penalty are separate matters, but bringing the records up to date is normally the sensible first step. It is also worth remembering that an overdue company may originally have been required to prepare micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another form of statutory accounts, depending on its size, structure and circumstances.

─── 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 a limited company was required to deliver to Companies House by its applicable filing deadline, where that deadline has passed and the accounts remain outstanding. An overdue filing does not mean the company has been suspended or removed from the register — it simply means the required accounts have not yet been delivered. The accounts still need to be prepared under the appropriate reporting framework and filed where required.

How do company accounts end up overdue?

There is rarely a single reason. Bookkeeping records may not have been kept up to date, a director may have assumed the company was exempt because it was not trading, an accountant may have stopped acting, or the deadline may simply have been missed. Because the deadline depends on the company's accounting reference period and circumstances, directors in Runcorn sometimes find that the date they had in mind was not the correct one. Whatever the cause, the underlying filing obligation usually remains.

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

In most cases, yes. Accounts that have passed their deadline generally still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House where required. Filing them is also a separate matter from any late-filing penalty that may already have been incurred — paying a penalty does not remove the duty to file. Where the company also has Corporation Tax obligations, such as a CT600 Corporation Tax Return, those are handled separately with HMRC and are not automatically satisfied by submitting statutory accounts to Companies House.

Can a dormant company have overdue company accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company can still have Companies House filing obligations, and if it did not deliver the required accounts by the applicable deadline, those accounts can become overdue. Dormant status does not automatically remove the requirement to file annual accounts, although what is required depends on the company's circumstances and eligibility.

Can Companies House impose a late-filing penalty on overdue accounts?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. The penalty that may apply depends on the circumstances and how late the accounts are, and the amounts are set by Companies House rather than by us. Penalties are not optional, and paying one does not cancel the requirement to file. If you believe a penalty has been issued incorrectly, whether an appeal is possible depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

What happens if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Where several accounting periods remain outstanding, each period generally has to be addressed on its own, and more than one set of accounts may need to be prepared and filed. Filing a single set will not automatically clear the others. We can review the company's Companies House record and accounting history to establish which periods are still outstanding and how each one should be prepared, subject to the relevant requirements.

Could overdue accounts affect my company's status or lead to strike-off action?

Overdue accounts do not automatically mean a company is suspended or dissolved. However, Companies House may take action against companies that fail to meet their filing obligations, and persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of compulsory strike-off action. Filing outstanding accounts may reduce that risk, but it does not guarantee that enforcement action will be prevented or reversed. If a strike-off notice has already been issued, or the company has been dissolved, the situation may require separate restoration steps or legal advice rather than an ordinary overdue filing.

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

We can review your outstanding filing position, identify which periods remain outstanding, and prepare and file the required statutory accounts with Companies House on your behalf. Where relevant, we can also assist with confirmation statements, micro-entity accounts for companies that qualify, and the coordination of your Corporation Tax matters with HMRC. Our accountants are fully qualified and regulated by ICAEW, ACCA and AAT, and we work on simple fixed-fee pricing with no hidden costs. Documents are reviewed and authorised by you before anything is submitted.
