 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 Directors in St Boswells

Company accounts become overdue when the applicable statutory filing deadline has passed and the required accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. That deadline is not the same for every company: it depends on factors such as the company’s accounting reference period, how long it has been incorporated, and its individual filing history, so the position has to be checked against the company’s own records rather than assumed. Once the date has passed, the accounts remain outstanding until they are properly prepared and submitted. The obligation does not disappear simply because the company has stopped trading, has been dormant, or has had a quiet year. Directors are responsible for making sure the company meets its Companies House filing obligations, which is why it usually makes sense to deal with late accounts as soon as possible instead of letting further accounting periods fall behind. Delivering accounts after the deadline can result in a late-filing penalty, and persistent non-compliance may increase the risk of further action from Companies House, although the outcome always depends on the company’s circumstances. For a director in St Boswells with overdue company accounts, the practical first step is to confirm which accounting periods are actually outstanding, then prepare and file each set of statutory accounts using the information available.

─── 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?

Accounts are overdue once the filing deadline applying to a particular accounting period has passed and the required statutory accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. The deadline is not identical for every company — it can depend on the accounting reference date, how long the company has been trading through a limited company structure, and other circumstances — so the position should be checked against the company's own Companies House record. Overdue simply means the deadline has passed and the accounts are still outstanding; it does not mean the company has been struck off or removed from the register.

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

Yes. Passing the deadline does not remove the filing obligation. The statutory accounts for the relevant period still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House where required, and that applies even if the company has not traded, has been dormant, or has had no income for the period. Where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period generally needs its own set of accounts, and filing one set does not automatically clear the others. Until they are filed, the company's record will continue to show them as outstanding.

Can a dormant company have overdue company accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and late filing are separate issues. A dormant company can still have a Companies House filing obligation for its annual accounts, and if those accounts are not delivered by the applicable deadline, they become overdue in much the same way as accounts for a trading company. Dormant status does not automatically mean accounts are exempt from filing, so it is worth confirming the position for each outstanding period rather than assuming nothing needs to be done.

What happens if the accounts are filed late?

Delivering accounts after the statutory deadline can lead to a late-filing penalty from Companies House, and the longer the accounts remain outstanding, the more serious the consequences may become. Companies House may also take action against companies that persistently fail to meet their filing obligations, which can increase the risk of compulsory strike-off action — although this is not automatic and depends on the circumstances. If a company has already received a strike-off notice or has been dissolved, that situation usually calls for separate advice rather than being treated as an ordinary overdue filing.

If I pay a late-filing penalty, does that mean I no longer have to file the accounts?

No. Paying a penalty and filing the outstanding accounts are separate matters. A penalty does not cancel the requirement to prepare and deliver the accounts to Companies House, and the accounts will continue to show as outstanding on the company record until they have been filed. If you believe a penalty should not apply, whether an appeal is possible would depend on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules, and any appeal would need to be considered on its own merits.

Are Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements separate from the accounts filing?

Yes, these are distinct compliance matters. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while a Corporation Tax Return such as the CT600 is submitted to HMRC where applicable, and a confirmation statement is filed with Companies House separately from the annual accounts. Submitting overdue accounts does not, by itself, satisfy a company's Corporation Tax obligations or remove the need to keep the confirmation statement and other company information up to date. Where several filings are behind, each may need to be addressed in turn.

Can overdue accounts be filed using the micro-entity framework?

Some companies may qualify to prepare micro-entity accounts, but eligibility depends on the company's size and circumstances rather than simply on the fact that it is small. Where a company qualifies for the micro-entity framework, FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard that applies to those accounts. Whether that framework is the right one for a particular overdue filing has to be considered alongside the company's legal structure, accounting period and reporting requirements, and an overdue set of accounts is not automatically a micro-entity set.

How can Micro Entity Accounts help with Overdue Company Accounts Filing in St Boswells?

We begin by reviewing the company's outstanding filing position and confirming which accounting periods still need to be dealt with. From there, we can prepare the statutory accounts required, assist with filing them at Companies House, and explain the separate matters that may need attention, such as confirmation statements or Corporation Tax Returns like the CT600 where applicable. The information needed varies from company to company and may include bookkeeping records, bank statements, invoices, expense records or previous accounts. Directors in St Boswells can get in touch and we will talk through the next steps clearly.
