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 It Means When Company Accounts Are Overdue

Company accounts become overdue when the statutory accounts a company is required to deliver to Companies House have not been filed by the applicable deadline. That deadline is not identical for every company: it depends on factors such as the accounting reference period, whether the company is newly incorporated, whether it is filing for the first time and whether any accounting period has been shortened or extended. Once the relevant date has passed with the accounts still outstanding, the filing is late and the accounts remain overdue until they are prepared and delivered. Directors in St. Columb who find themselves in this position are not in an unusual situation — it happens for many reasons, including a change of accountant, a quiet or dormant period, incomplete bookkeeping records, or simply losing track of the date. Dealing with outstanding accounts reasonably promptly is generally the simplest approach, because the longer a set of accounts stays undelivered, the more opportunity there is for further Companies House action, for additional periods to become due, and for complications to build up around Corporation Tax and other filings. What is actually required in your case — the reporting framework, the number of periods affected, and whether separate matters such as a confirmation statement or an HMRC submission also need attention — depends on the company’s own circumstances.

─── 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?

Company accounts are overdue when the statutory accounts a company is required to deliver to Companies House have not been filed by the applicable filing deadline. That deadline is not the same for every company — it depends on the accounting reference period and the company's individual circumstances. Common reasons for accounts falling overdue include a change of accountant, a period of little or no trading, incomplete records, or a director assuming the filing had already been made. Whatever the cause, the accounts stay outstanding until they are prepared and delivered.

Do overdue company accounts still need to be filed?

Yes. Where a company is required to file statutory accounts with Companies House, accounts that have passed their deadline remain outstanding and still need to be prepared and delivered. The obligation does not disappear because the deadline has passed. Companies House may take action against companies that do not meet their filing obligations, and persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of compulsory strike-off action, so bringing the position up to date is usually the sensible step. An overdue filing does not, by itself, suspend a company or remove it from the Companies House register.

Can a dormant company have overdue company accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and late filing are separate matters. A dormant company can still have annual accounts filing obligations, and if the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, they will be overdue in the same way as any other outstanding filing. Assuming that nothing needs to be submitted because the company has not traded is a common misunderstanding. It is worth checking the company's filing history on the Companies House register and reviewing what remains due.

Can Companies House impose a late-filing penalty for overdue accounts?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. The penalty that applies, if any, depends on how late the accounts are and on the company's particular circumstances, so it is not the same in every case. Paying a penalty and filing the outstanding accounts are separate obligations — settling a penalty does not remove the requirement to prepare and deliver the accounts, and it does not automatically cancel or reduce a penalty already applied. Where a director believes a penalty has been issued incorrectly, whether an appeal is available depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

What happens if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Where several accounting periods are outstanding, each period generally needs to be addressed separately, which may mean preparing more than one set of accounts. The work involved depends on the records available and the length of time covered, and there is no single answer that fits every company. Filing one period does not automatically clear the others, so it helps to establish exactly what is outstanding across all affected periods before the accounts are prepared.

Can micro-entity accounts be used where the filing is overdue?

Some companies may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, and where a company qualifies, micro-entity accounts may be appropriate for the outstanding period. Eligibility depends on the company's size, legal structure and accounting period, and it should be confirmed before the accounts are prepared. FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard that applies to qualifying entities using the micro-entity framework. Not every company qualifies, and the appropriate framework needs to be considered for each period being brought up to date.

Are CT600 Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements part of the same filing as company accounts?

No. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as the CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable — these are separate compliance matters, and filing overdue accounts with Companies House does not automatically satisfy any outstanding Corporation Tax obligations. A confirmation statement is also separate from annual accounts; it is submitted to Companies House and is not a substitute for them. A company may need to deal with its accounts, its confirmation statement and any HMRC filings alongside one another.

How can Micro Entity Accounts assist with Overdue Company Accounts Filing in St. Columb?

We can review your company's filing history and identify which periods are outstanding, then prepare the accounts required for each period and assist with delivering them to Companies House. We will explain clearly what needs to be done and flag any related matters that may also need attention, such as confirmation statements or Corporation Tax obligations, subject to the applicable requirements. All of our accountants are qualified and regulated by ICAEW, ACCA and AAT, and we work with directors and companies across St. Columb and the surrounding area.
