 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 Makes Company Accounts Overdue, and Why It Is Worth Acting Now

Company accounts are overdue when the statutory filing deadline for a particular accounting period has passed and the required accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. That deadline is not the same date for every company — it depends on matters such as the company’s accounting reference date, whether the period is a first accounting period, and the company’s own circumstances. Once a deadline has passed without a filing being made, the accounts remain outstanding until they are properly prepared and delivered, whether or not the company has been trading, has stopped trading, or is dormant. An overdue filing does not by itself change a company’s status on the Companies House register, and it does not automatically mean the company will be struck off. It does mean there is a statutory obligation still to be met. Where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty, and the requirement to file the accounts and any penalty are separate matters — paying a penalty does not remove the need to file, and filing does not automatically cancel a penalty. Companies House may also take action against companies that repeatedly fail to meet their filing obligations, so the longer accounts are left outstanding, the more involved the position can become. Where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period generally has to be prepared and filed separately, and other obligations such as confirmation statements or Corporation Tax Returns may also need attention. The appropriate basis for the accounts depends on the company’s size, legal structure and the period concerned, so whether micro-entity accounts under FRS 105, small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts is correct is something we confirm before any work begins. For directors in Stornoway dealing with overdue company accounts, the practical first step is simply to establish exactly what is outstanding.

─── 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

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 when company accounts are overdue?

Company accounts are overdue when the statutory deadline for delivering them to Companies House has passed and the accounts have not been filed. That deadline varies between companies, because it depends on the company's accounting reference date and its individual circumstances, so the usual starting point is to check the Companies House record and confirm which accounting periods remain outstanding. Being overdue does not mean the company has been suspended or dissolved — it means a required filing is still to be prepared and delivered.

Do overdue accounts still have to be filed with Companies House?

Where a company is required to prepare and file statutory accounts for a period, that obligation does not disappear simply because the deadline has passed. The accounts generally still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House. Dormancy or a period of not trading does not remove the filing requirement on its own, and the position depends on the company's circumstances and the period concerned. We can review your company's record and confirm what is outstanding.

Can a dormant or non-trading company have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company can still have Companies House filing obligations, and if the required accounts for a period were not delivered by the applicable deadline, those accounts are overdue. A company also does not become overdue merely because it has not traded — what matters is the deadline that applied and whether the required accounts were actually filed.

What happens if accounts are filed after the deadline?

Where accounts are delivered late, Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty. The penalty is calculated under the applicable rules and depends on the length of the delay and the company's circumstances, so we do not speculate on amounts. Filing the accounts and dealing with any penalty are separate matters, and an overdue filing remains outstanding until the accounts are delivered. In some situations a penalty may be eligible for appeal, but that depends on the applicable Companies House rules and the facts of the case.

Could overdue accounts affect the company's status or lead to strike-off action?

An overdue account means the required filing is outstanding, and Companies House may take action against companies that do not meet their filing obligations. Persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of compulsory strike-off action, although an overdue account does not automatically mean a company will be dissolved. If your company has already received a strike-off notice, or has been dissolved, the position may need to be handled differently — potentially through restoration or with legal advice — rather than as an ordinary overdue filing, and filing accounts does not guarantee that any such action will be halted or reversed.

What if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Each outstanding period generally needs its own set of accounts prepared and delivered, so filing one period does not automatically clear the others. The usual approach is to work through the periods in order, normally starting with the earliest, once the underlying records for each period have been gathered. If several years have been missed, we can review the Companies House record, set out exactly which periods are outstanding and prepare the required accounts for each one.

Can micro-entity accounts be used where the accounts are overdue?

Where a company qualifies for the micro-entity framework, its accounts — including overdue accounts — may be able to be prepared on that basis, using FRS 105, the financial reporting standard that applies to qualifying entities under the micro-entity framework. Qualification is not automatic: eligibility depends on the company's size, legal structure and the accounting period concerned, and in some cases small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts will be the correct route instead. We confirm the appropriate basis before preparing anything.

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

Micro Entity Accounts prepares and files outstanding statutory accounts for companies in Stornoway, including situations where a number of accounting periods have been missed. We begin by reviewing what is outstanding on the Companies House record and what records are available, then prepare the accounts for each period and support you through the filing process — you review and authorise each set of accounts before it is submitted. We can also confirm whether other matters need separate attention, such as confirmation statements or Corporation Tax Returns, including CT600 submissions to HMRC where applicable, since these are not dealt with by filing accounts at Companies House. Our accountants are fully qualified and regulated by ICAEW, ACCA and AAT, and our pricing is clear and agreed in advance.
