 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 Overdue Company Accounts Mean for a Limited Company

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline. That deadline is not the same for every company: it depends on factors such as the company’s accounting reference period and individual circumstances, so the correct date needs to be confirmed rather than assumed. When that date passes without the required accounts being delivered, the accounts become overdue and remain outstanding until they are prepared, reviewed and submitted. Directors in Sandwich Kent may find themselves in this position for a range of reasons — bookkeeping records that fell behind, a change of accountant, a period of illness, or an assumption that nothing needed to be filed because the company was not trading. In each case the filing obligation still applies, and the practical steps are broadly similar: establish which accounting periods are outstanding, prepare the statutory accounts for each of those periods, have them approved by the director, and deliver them to Companies House where required. Even a dormant company may have annual accounts filing obligations, so dormancy alone is not a reason to set the matter aside. It is worth dealing with overdue accounts promptly. Companies House can impose late-filing penalties when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the longer a filing remains outstanding, the more serious the consequences may become. Where non-compliance continues, Companies House may take action against the company, and persistent failure to meet filing obligations can increase the risk of compulsory strike-off action. Accounts filed late also affect the company’s public record and can raise questions from banks, lenders or other parties who review Companies House information. Requirements vary, so the appropriate accounts depend on the company’s legal structure, accounting period, size, reporting framework and circumstances. Some companies may qualify for the micro-entity framework and prepare micro-entity accounts under FRS 105, while others may need small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts. If more than one period is outstanding, each one may need to be addressed separately. Filing accounts with Companies House also does not, on its own, resolve other compliance matters such as confirmation statements or Corporation Tax obligations, which are dealt with separately.

─── 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 for company accounts to be overdue?

Your accounts are overdue when the statutory accounts for an accounting period have not been delivered to Companies House by the applicable filing deadline. That deadline depends on the company's accounting reference period and circumstances, so it is worth confirming the correct date for your own company rather than relying on a general rule. Once the deadline has passed and the accounts remain outstanding, the filing stays overdue until the required accounts have been prepared, approved and submitted.

Why do company accounts become overdue?

There are many practical reasons. Bookkeeping records may have fallen behind, invoices or bank statements may be missing, a director may have been unwell, the company may have changed accountant partway through a period, or there may simply have been an assumption that nothing needed to be filed because the company was not trading. Whatever the reason, the underlying obligation does not disappear, and the earlier the position is reviewed, the more straightforward it usually is to resolve.

Do outstanding accounts still need to be filed once they are already late?

Yes. Where statutory accounts were required for a period, they normally still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House even though the deadline has passed. Filing late does not remove the requirement to file, and the directors remain responsible for making sure the company meets its filing obligations. The accounts still need to be properly prepared for the relevant period and approved before submission.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company can still have Companies House filing obligations, and where the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, those accounts are overdue. Whether a company qualifies as dormant, and what it must file for a particular period, depends on its circumstances, so dormant status should not be treated as automatic exemption from filing.

Can Companies House impose a late-filing penalty?

Companies House can impose late-filing penalties where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. The penalty is not the same for every company and 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 two matters are separate. If a penalty has already been issued, whether an appeal is possible depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

What happens if several accounting periods are outstanding?

Where more than one period is outstanding, each one generally needs to be addressed separately, which may mean preparing and filing several sets of accounts. The work involved depends on the records available and the periods concerned, so it is sensible to establish exactly what remains outstanding first. Micro Entity Accounts can review your filing position, work through the outstanding periods and confirm what is required before any documents are submitted.

Can a company still file overdue accounts after receiving a strike-off notice?

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. If a strike-off notice has been received, the position is more time-sensitive and may need to be handled alongside any outstanding filings rather than treated as an ordinary late submission. Where a company has already been dissolved, restoration or separate legal advice may be required.

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

They are separate matters. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while a CT600 Corporation Tax Return is submitted to HMRC where applicable — filing accounts with Companies House does not by itself satisfy HMRC Corporation Tax obligations. A confirmation statement is also separate and is filed with Companies House to confirm the company's registered details. A company with overdue accounts may therefore need to deal with more than one compliance task, and we can help you identify what is outstanding.
