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

When Company Accounts Go Overdue: What Directors Need to Know

A company’s annual accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline, which is worked out from the company’s accounting reference period and its own circumstances. When that deadline passes and the required accounts have not been delivered, those accounts become overdue. This can happen whether or not the company has been trading: dormant status and overdue filing are separate matters, and a dormant company can still end up with outstanding accounts sitting on its Companies House record. For directors in Stirling who discover a missed deadline, the sensible approach is usually to deal with it promptly rather than leave it, since the longer accounts remain outstanding the more the position may escalate, and Companies House may take action against companies that repeatedly fail to meet their filing obligations. The exact requirements, and any consequences, depend on the circumstances — the accounting periods involved, the company’s legal structure, its size and what has already been filed. It is also worth remembering that filing the outstanding accounts does not, by itself, resolve everything: confirmation statements, Corporation Tax matters and other filings may need to be dealt with separately. Our starting point is to establish exactly what is outstanding, prepare the accounts on the correct reporting basis and help get the delivery where it needs to be.

─── 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 if my company accounts are overdue?

It means the statutory deadline for delivering that set of accounts to Companies House has passed and the accounts have not yet been filed. It is a filing position rather than a change to your company's legal status — the company is not automatically suspended or removed from the register simply because a deadline has been missed. The deadline itself depends on the company's accounting reference period and its circumstances, so the usual first step is to check what Companies House currently holds and which periods remain outstanding.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues, and dormant companies still have Companies House filing obligations. If a dormant company did not deliver its accounts by the applicable deadline, those accounts are overdue in the same way as any other company's. Some dormant companies may be able to file simpler accounts depending on their circumstances, but dormant status does not automatically remove the requirement to file.

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

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the amount can vary according to how late the filing is and the type of company involved. The penalty and the filing obligation are separate matters, so a penalty does not replace the requirement to file. If you think a penalty has been issued incorrectly, whether an appeal is available depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

If we pay the penalty, do we still need to file the accounts?

Yes. Paying a late-filing penalty does not remove the requirement to prepare and deliver the outstanding accounts, and it does not cancel the underlying filing obligation. The accounts still need to be filed, and where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period may need to be addressed separately.

What happens if several accounting periods are outstanding?

Where a company has let more than one period go by, several sets of accounts may need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House, often in sequence. Each period is considered on its own facts: the accounting records available, the figures involved and the reporting framework that applies can all differ from one period to the next. Filing one set of accounts does not automatically resolve the others, so it is worth establishing the full picture before preparing anything.

Can we still file if the company has received a strike-off notice?

It may still be possible to prepare and deliver the outstanding accounts, but a strike-off notice means action is already under way and the situation needs to be looked at quickly and carefully. Whether filing at that stage changes anything depends on the circumstances, and no one can guarantee that strike-off action will be prevented or reversed. If the company has already been dissolved, that is a different situation which may require restoration or separate legal advice rather than an ordinary overdue accounts filing.

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

Some companies may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, and where they do, overdue accounts can be prepared on that basis. Not every company qualifies, however: eligibility depends on the company's legal structure, size, accounting period and the criteria that apply, and FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard used by entities that qualify within the micro-entity framework. Where a company does not qualify, small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts may be required instead. We can confirm the correct basis once we have reviewed the circumstances.

Are CT600 Corporation Tax Returns separate from the accounts filed at Companies House?

Yes. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as the CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable, and they are separate compliance obligations. Delivering overdue accounts to Companies House does not automatically satisfy your company's Corporation Tax responsibilities, and a separate CT600 may still be due. A confirmation statement is also a separate filing. If your records suggest other outstanding matters, we can review what is likely to be required.
