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. I'm very pleased with the service I've received and truly appreciate his support. If you need help with your accounts or taxes, I would highly recommend Imran.

 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 and Why They Need Attention

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline. That deadline is not the same for every company — it depends on factors such as the company’s accounting reference period, whether it is a first set of accounts, and the company’s particular circumstances. Once the deadline passes and the required accounts have not been delivered, those accounts are overdue. Being overdue is a filing position, not a change in your company’s legal status, but it does mean an obligation remains unmet and Companies House may take action in line with its own rules. The longer accounts stay outstanding, the more the position can develop, so it is usually better to deal with the matter promptly rather than leave it in place. It is also worth being clear that overdue accounts and a free-standing penalty are treated as separate matters: paying a late-filing penalty does not remove the requirement to prepare and file the accounts themselves. Where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period may need to be dealt with separately. Directors of companies in Staffordshire who find themselves in this position can ask us to review exactly what is outstanding, confirm which reporting framework applies, and assist with preparing and filing the required documents.

─── 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 become overdue when the applicable filing deadline for a set of statutory accounts has passed and those accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. The deadline is not identical for every company — it depends on matters such as the accounting reference period and whether it is a first set of accounts. Overdue does not mean the company has automatically been struck off or suspended; it means a required filing remains outstanding.

Why do company accounts become overdue in the first place?

In practice, the reasons are usually practical rather than deliberate. Directors may have moved address, changed accountant, been unwell, or simply lost track of the date. Some companies assume that because no trading took place there is nothing to file, which is not necessarily correct. Whatever the reason, the position is the same: if accounts were not delivered by the deadline, they remain outstanding until they are prepared and filed.

Do we still have to file accounts if the company was dormant or not trading?

Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company can still have Companies House filing obligations, and it can have overdue accounts if the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline. Where a company is dormant, the accounts and any supporting information required may differ from those of a trading company, but the filing position still needs to be addressed rather than assumed to be exempt.

What happens if accounts are filed after the deadline?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the length of the delay is one of the factors that can affect the position. Penalty amounts are set out in the applicable rules rather than by us, and they can change over time, so we do not quote figures here. It is important to understand that a penalty is a separate matter from the filing itself — paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to prepare and file the outstanding accounts.

If we have more than one accounting period outstanding, can everything be sorted at once?

It may be possible to address several outstanding periods within one engagement, but each accounting period generally needs its own set of accounts prepared and delivered. Filing one period does not automatically resolve the others. The order in which periods are dealt with, and how long the work takes, depends on the state of your records and the number of periods involved, so we usually start by reviewing exactly what is outstanding.

Can a company still file overdue accounts after receiving a Companies House warning or strike-off notice?

In many cases accounts can still be prepared and delivered, but the situation needs to be looked at carefully. Persistent failure to meet filing obligations can increase the risk of compulsory strike-off action, and Companies House may take steps of its own. If a company has received a strike-off notice or has already been dissolved, the matter may require separate restoration or legal advice rather than being handled as an ordinary overdue accounts filing.

Can micro-entity accounts be used for overdue filings?

Some companies with overdue accounts may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework and its associated financial reporting standard, FRS 105. However, not every company qualifies — eligibility depends on factors such as the company's size, legal structure, accounting period and the applicable requirements. A company may originally have been required to prepare micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another form of statutory accounts, so the appropriate framework should be confirmed before filing.

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

No. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as the CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable. A confirmation statement is a separate document submitted to Companies House and is not the same as annual accounts. Bringing your accounts up to date does not automatically satisfy Corporation Tax obligations or confirmation statement requirements, so we check whether other filings also need attention.
