 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with Accotx on a HMRC reclaim and overall, they did ultimately deliver on their promise, which I appreciate. The process did take longer than any of us expected, partly due to external delays with the tax authorities, and partly because there were some hiccups in communication and follow-up. However, despite those challenges, they stayed professional and stuck to the original agreed terms. If you’re considering using them, be prepared to stay in regular contact to keep things moving along. They are absolutely capable, have the expertise and willing to work with you, and overall  improving their services over time. I would certainly return for any future needs.

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. He guided me through each step and helped rectify issues that had built up over time, making what felt like an overwhelming situation much more manageable.

─── OVERDUE ACCOUNTS EXPLAINED

What It Means When Company Accounts Are Overdue

Company accounts become overdue when the statutory filing deadline for a particular accounting period has passed and the required accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. That deadline is not identical for every company — it depends on factors such as the accounting reference period, whether it is the company’s first set of accounts and the company’s own circumstances — so directors should always check the position for their specific filing rather than assume a date. Once the deadline has gone by without the accounts being delivered, they remain outstanding until they are properly prepared and filed, and the Companies House record will reflect that. Directors in Smethwick should treat outstanding accounts as a matter to address rather than something that can be left because the company has not traded or has earned nothing during the period. Dormant companies can still carry filing obligations, and being quiet does not remove the requirement to deliver accounts where one applies. Late delivery can lead to a late-filing penalty, and the longer a filing remains outstanding, the more the position may develop. Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable, so these are separate compliance matters. Bringing things up to date normally begins with a review of what has already been filed, what is outstanding and which periods need attention.

─── 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?

It means the applicable statutory deadline for a set of accounts has passed and those accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. The obligation to file does not disappear because the deadline has gone by — the accounts simply remain outstanding on the company's record until they are prepared and submitted. The exact deadline varies between companies, so it is worth checking the accounting reference date and the company's filing history rather than working from memory.

Why do company accounts become overdue?

There is rarely a single reason. Common causes include a change of accountant partway through the year, incomplete bookkeeping records, a director assuming the company was too small or too quiet to need accounts, or simply losing track of the filing date. In some cases a company has fallen behind across several periods, which makes catching up feel harder to start. Whatever the cause, the position can usually be reviewed and worked through, depending on the circumstances of the company.

Do overdue accounts still need to be filed with Companies House?

Yes, in most cases. Where a company is required to deliver statutory accounts, that requirement continues even after the deadline has passed, and the accounts should still be prepared and filed. Micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts may be used depending on the company's size, reporting framework and accounting period. A review of the company's circumstances is normally the first step in deciding how the outstanding periods should be prepared.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate matters. A dormant company can still have annual accounts filing obligations, and if those accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, they become overdue in the same way as any other company's accounts. Being dormant does not automatically exempt a company from filing, although the accounts themselves may be prepared on a simpler basis where the company genuinely qualifies.

What happens if company accounts are filed after the deadline?

Late delivery can result in a late-filing penalty being issued by Companies House, and the amount can vary depending on how late the accounts are and the company's filing history. The longer a filing remains outstanding, the more serious the consequences may become, and persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of further action by Companies House. Filing the accounts is still the right step, and the position is generally easier to manage the sooner it is addressed.

If a late-filing penalty is paid, does that mean the accounts no longer need to be filed?

No. The penalty and the filing obligation are separate matters. Paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to prepare and deliver the outstanding accounts, and it does not cancel the filing itself. Where a penalty has been issued, eligibility for an appeal depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules, and we can explain the options available once the filing position has been reviewed.

If more than one accounting period is outstanding, can they all be dealt with?

In many cases, yes. Where several periods are outstanding, each set of accounts generally needs to be prepared and filed separately, usually working through the periods in the correct order because later figures often depend on earlier ones. The volume of work and the information required will vary, so the practical approach is to review the filing history first and then agree a sensible sequence for bringing everything up to date.

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

We review your Companies House filing history to establish which periods are outstanding, then prepare the statutory accounts for each period and assist with delivering them to Companies House. Where the company qualifies, micro-entity accounts under FRS 105 may be appropriate, but eligibility always depends on the company's structure, accounting period and circumstances. We can also explain how the accounts work sits alongside separate obligations such as confirmation statements and Corporation Tax Returns, and confirm what records are needed before preparation begins.
