 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 Actually Mean for a Stowmarket Company

Company accounts — often referred to as statutory accounts or annual accounts — generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline. That deadline is not identical for every company: it depends on factors such as the company’s accounting reference period and its particular circumstances, so directors in Stowmarket should check the date that applies to their own company rather than assume it matches another business. When the deadline passes and the required accounts have not been delivered, the accounts become overdue, and the filing obligation stays outstanding until the accounts are properly prepared and submitted. It is worth dealing with overdue accounts promptly, because Companies House can impose late-filing penalties where accounts are delivered after the deadline, and the longer accounts remain outstanding, the more serious the consequences may become. Overdue accounts cannot simply be set aside because the company has not traded or is dormant — dormant companies can still have Companies House filing obligations, and dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. Where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period may need to be prepared and filed separately, and the appropriate form of accounts — micro-entity accounts under FRS 105 for qualifying companies, small-company accounts, or another applicable framework — depends on the company’s size, structure and eligibility. Filing overdue statutory accounts with Companies House is also separate from Corporation Tax: a CT600 Corporation Tax Return is submitted to HMRC where applicable, and delivering accounts to Companies House does not, by itself, settle any outstanding HMRC matters. A confirmation statement is likewise a separate filing. Because requirements vary from company to company, the sensible first step is a review of what is genuinely outstanding before anything is prepared or submitted.

─── 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, also known as statutory accounts or annual accounts, normally have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline. That deadline depends on the company's accounting reference period and its own circumstances, so it is not the same date for every company. Once the deadline passes without the accounts being delivered, they are treated as overdue, and the filing obligation remains outstanding until the accounts are properly prepared and submitted.

Do overdue company accounts still need to be filed?

In most cases, yes. An overdue filing means the deadline has passed, not that the requirement has disappeared. The accounts generally still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House where required, and the appropriate form of accounts depends on the company's size, legal structure, accounting period and eligibility. Some companies may qualify to prepare micro-entity accounts under FRS 105, while others need small-company accounts or another applicable reporting framework, so the position should be confirmed before filing.

Can a dormant company have overdue company accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate matters. A dormant company can still have annual accounts filing obligations at Companies House, and if those accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, they can become overdue in the same way as any other company's. Dormant status does not automatically remove the requirement to file, although the accounts themselves may be prepared on a different basis depending on the circumstances.

What happens if accounts are filed late with Companies House?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the longer the accounts remain outstanding, the more serious the consequences may become. Persistent failure to meet filing obligations can also increase the risk of further action, which may include compulsory strike-off action in certain cases. Requirements are not identical for every company, and Companies House may take action against companies that do not meet their filing obligations, so it is generally better to address overdue accounts promptly rather than leave them unresolved.

If a late-filing penalty is paid, does that remove the requirement to file the accounts?

No. Penalties and filing obligations are separate matters. Paying a penalty does not cancel the requirement to prepare and deliver the outstanding accounts, and it does not automatically close the matter. A penalty is also not something an accountant can simply reduce, remove or cancel. Whether an appeal is possible depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules, and eligibility would need to be checked against those rules.

What if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Where several accounting periods are outstanding, each one may need to be prepared and filed separately, and filing one set of accounts does not automatically resolve the others. The order in which the periods are dealt with can matter, and the reporting framework may differ between periods if the company's size or status has changed. We would normally begin by reviewing what Companies House and HMRC each hold on record so the full picture is clear before work starts.

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. Filing overdue accounts at Companies House does not, by itself, satisfy any outstanding Corporation Tax obligations, and the two are handled as separate compliance matters. A confirmation statement is also separate from the accounts and may still need to be submitted so that the company's Companies House records stay up to date.

How can Micro Entity Accounts assist with Overdue Company Accounts Filing in Stowmarket?

We can review which accounting periods are outstanding, identify the reporting framework that applies to each one, prepare the accounts and supporting information, and assist with filing at Companies House where required. We will explain what we need from you — items such as bookkeeping records, bank statements, invoices, expense records, previous accounts and company details — and we will ask you to review and authorise the accounts before anything is submitted. Where other matters are outstanding, such as a confirmation statement or a Corporation Tax filing, we can help you deal with those separately subject to the relevant requirements. The information required depends on your company's circumstances and the periods being prepared.
