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.

 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 Your South Shields Company

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline, and once that deadline passes without the required accounts being delivered, those accounts become overdue. The deadline itself is not identical for every company — it depends on matters such as the company’s accounting reference period, whether it is a first set of accounts and the company’s individual circumstances, so it is always worth checking the specific position on the Companies House record rather than assuming. Overdue accounts do not go away if they are ignored. Companies House filing obligations continue to apply, the outstanding accounts still need to be prepared and delivered where required, and the longer a filing remains outstanding, the more serious the consequences may become. That said, the practical effect of an overdue filing varies from company to company, and a director dealing with late or outstanding accounts can take sensible steps now: establish exactly which periods are outstanding, gather the underlying records, and prepare and file the accounts that are due. Doing so is usually the most straightforward route back to a compliant position, and professional support can make the process considerably easier to manage.

─── 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 are overdue company accounts?

Overdue company accounts are the statutory accounts that a company was required to deliver to Companies House but which have not yet been filed, even though the applicable filing deadline has passed. Once that deadline passes and the accounts remain outstanding, the filing is treated as late and the obligation to file does not disappear. The exact deadline depends on the company's accounting reference period and its circumstances, so it is worth confirming the position shown on the Companies House record before deciding what to do next.

Why do company accounts become overdue in the first place?

There are many reasons. Directors can lose track of the filing date, bookkeeping records may not be complete, a previous accountant may have stopped acting, or a company may have been quiet for a period and assumed nothing needed filing. Whatever the cause, the accounts remain outstanding until they are prepared and delivered. In South Shields and elsewhere, the practical fix is the same: identify which accounting periods are outstanding and work through them in order.

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

In most cases, yes. The filing obligation continues to apply even after the deadline has passed, and the outstanding accounts still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House where required. The only situations that materially change this are where the company has already been dissolved or is subject to a formal process, which may need separate advice rather than being treated as an ordinary late filing. We can review your company's circumstances and explain what still needs to be done.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate matters. A dormant company can still have Companies House filing obligations, and if the required annual accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, those accounts are overdue regardless of the fact that the company was not trading. Dormant status does not automatically remove the requirement to file accounts, although the type of accounts required may differ depending on the company's position.

What happens if the accounts are filed late?

Where accounts are delivered to Companies House after the applicable deadline, Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty. Penalty amounts and bands are set by Companies House and depend on how late the filing is, so we do not quote figures here. It is also worth understanding that paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to file the outstanding accounts — these are two separate matters. We can assist with preparing and filing the accounts, though any penalty position depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

What if several accounting periods are outstanding?

If more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period may need to be addressed separately, which usually means preparing more than one set of accounts. Filing a single set of accounts does not automatically resolve the other outstanding periods. The work involved depends on the records available for each period, so we normally start by establishing exactly what is missing and then work through the filings in a sensible order.

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

Some companies may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, in which case micro-entity accounts prepared under FRS 105 could be appropriate for the outstanding period. However, eligibility is not automatic and does not follow simply from the business being small. The company's legal structure, accounting period and qualifying conditions all need to be considered, and an overdue filing may originally have required micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another form of statutory accounts depending on the circumstances.

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

Yes. Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House where required, while a CT600 Corporation Tax Return is submitted to HMRC where applicable. Delivering overdue accounts to Companies House does not automatically satisfy any outstanding Corporation Tax obligations, and HMRC matters need to be dealt with separately. A confirmation statement is also a separate filing submitted to Companies House and is not replaced by filing overdue accounts. Where a company has several outstanding obligations, we can help you understand which items sit with which body.
