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 Is Worth Acting Promptly

Every limited company is expected to deliver statutory accounts to Companies House by the deadline that applies to its accounting reference period. When that date passes and the accounts have not been delivered, the accounts are treated as overdue, and the requirement to prepare and file them does not disappear. Accounts can fall behind for all sorts of reasons, including gaps in bookkeeping records, a change of accountant, illness, a dormant but unmanaged company, or simply an assumption that nothing needs to be filed because the company has not traded. The position of each company depends on its own circumstances, so the practical consequences of overdue company accounts, and the action needed to resolve them, can vary. Companies House records are publicly visible, late-filing penalties may apply where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of further action. Delivering the outstanding accounts is one part of getting back on track; confirmation statements, Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600, or other HMRC matters may need to be dealt with separately where they also remain outstanding. If you are unsure which accounting periods are outstanding, we can review your filing history and set out what still needs to be prepared and submitted.

─── 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.

Overdue accounts can feel like a problem that grows every time you think about them, particularly if more than one accounting period is outstanding or your records are incomplete. Micro Entity Accounts can review your filing history, prepare the overdue statutory accounts for each outstanding period and manage delivery to Companies House, while also explaining any separate obligations such as confirmation statements or Corporation Tax returns that may still need attention.

─── 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 a company's accounts are overdue?

Accounts become overdue when the statutory filing deadline for an accounting period has passed and the required accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. The deadline itself depends on the company's accounting reference period and its individual circumstances, so it is not the same date for every company. If the accounts remain outstanding, the filing obligation continues and the matter generally becomes more difficult to leave unattended.

Why do company accounts end up overdue in the first place?

In our experience, overdue filings usually come from practical pressures rather than deliberate avoidance. Bookkeeping may have fallen behind, bank statements or invoices may be missing, the previous accountant may have stopped acting, or there may have been illness, a bereavement or a busy trading period. Some directors also assume that nothing needs to be filed because the company has not traded or has no income, which is not automatically the case. Whatever the reason, we can review the position without judgement and explain what is needed.

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

Yes, in most cases the obligation to prepare and deliver the accounts remains, even though the original deadline has passed. Delivering overdue accounts to Companies House does not, on its own, resolve every other compliance matter. Where the company also has outstanding Corporation Tax Returns, such as CT600 submissions to HMRC, those are separate requirements and may need to be addressed alongside the Companies House filing rather than being covered by it.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

It can. Dormancy and overdue filing are two separate issues: a company may not have traded and still be required to deliver accounts by the applicable deadline. Whether a dormant company qualifies for any filing exemption depends on its circumstances and the relevant requirements being met, so it is worth checking rather than assuming. If the deadline has already passed, the accounts may be overdue regardless of the company's dormant status.

What happens if accounts are filed after the deadline has passed?

Where accounts are delivered late, Companies House may impose a late-filing penalty, and the amount can vary according to how late the filing is and the company's circumstances. Paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to file the outstanding accounts, and filing the accounts does not automatically cancel or reduce any penalty that has been charged. Appeals against a penalty are possible in some situations, but eligibility depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules. The longer accounts stay outstanding, the more serious the consequences may become.

What if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Where several periods are outstanding, each one generally needs to be prepared and filed, so you may be dealing with more than one set of accounts. The work involved depends on the number of outstanding periods, the quality of the available records and whether the company qualified for micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another reporting framework in each period. Filing one set of accounts does not resolve the others, so we usually map out all outstanding periods first and then work through them in order.

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

Some companies that are behind on their filing may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, which uses the FRS 105 standard where the eligibility criteria are met for the period in question. However, not every small company qualifies, and the appropriate framework depends on the company's legal structure, size, accounting period and reporting requirements. We confirm the correct basis before preparing any accounts, rather than assuming a small business is automatically a micro-entity.

How can Micro Entity Accounts assist with overdue company accounts in Sandwich?

We start by reviewing your filing history and identifying exactly which accounting periods are outstanding. From there we can prepare the overdue statutory accounts, set out what information we need from you, and manage delivery to Companies House once you have reviewed and authorised the documents. Where relevant, we can also help you understand separate matters such as confirmation statements, Corporation Tax Returns or other HMRC obligations. Directors of companies in Sandwich and the surrounding area are welcome to get in touch to discuss their position.
