Accounts are treated as overdue once the statutory filing deadline for that accounting period has passed without the accounts being delivered to Companies House. The exact deadline depends on the company's accounting reference period and its circumstances — for example, a first set of accounts can follow a different timetable from later periods. If you are not certain which deadline applied, we can review your company's records and confirm what remains outstanding.
There is rarely a single reason. Common causes include incomplete bookkeeping records, a change of accountant, a period of inactivity, illness or simply losing track of correspondence from Companies House. In many cases the accounts were never prepared at all rather than being prepared and forgotten. Whatever the background, the filing requirement does not go away, and the accounts will still need to be prepared and delivered where they are due.
Yes, in most cases. The obligation to prepare and deliver statutory accounts to Companies House remains, even though the deadline has gone by. Filing late does not replace the requirement to file at all. Depending on the circumstances, a late-filing penalty may also apply, and that is a separate matter from the filing itself — settling any penalty does not remove the need to deliver the outstanding accounts.
Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are two 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. Dormant status does not automatically exempt a company from filing annual accounts, although the accounts themselves may be prepared on a different basis depending on the company's circumstances.
Companies House can apply late-filing penalties when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. The level of any penalty depends on how late the accounts are and on the applicable rules, so it is not the same for every company. We cannot guarantee that a penalty will be avoided, reduced or cancelled, but we can help you get the accounts prepared and filed so the position is resolved as clearly as possible. Where an appeal may be considered, eligibility depends on the circumstances and the relevant Companies House rules.
Each outstanding accounting period generally needs to be addressed separately, which means several sets of accounts may need to be prepared and delivered. Filing one period does not automatically resolve the others. We usually recommend working through the periods in order so that the figures are consistent and Companies House records are brought fully up to date. The precise sequence and scope depend on your company's circumstances.
Some companies may qualify for the micro-entity framework, which uses the FRS 105 reporting standard, and overdue accounts can sometimes be prepared on that basis where the company is eligible for the relevant periods. However, not every small company qualifies, and eligibility depends on factors such as the company's size, legal structure, accounting period and reporting framework. We confirm the appropriate basis before any accounts are prepared.
No. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable, and a confirmation statement is a separate Companies House filing again. Submitting overdue accounts to Companies House does not automatically satisfy HMRC Corporation Tax obligations or replace a confirmation statement. Where a company has several outstanding matters, we can help you identify what needs to be dealt with and in what order.
