 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 Become Overdue

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the statutory deadline that applies to the company’s accounting reference period. When that deadline passes and the required accounts have not been delivered, the accounts are overdue. The relevant deadline can differ from company to company — it depends on factors such as the accounting reference date, whether it is a first set of accounts and the company’s own circumstances — so two companies will not necessarily share the same filing date. Once accounts are outstanding, the obligation to prepare and deliver them does not go away, and the position will be visible on the Companies House record. Late delivery can lead to a late-filing penalty, and the longer a filing remains outstanding, the more the situation can develop. Companies House may also take action against companies that persistently fail to meet their filing obligations, which can include compulsory strike-off action, although not every overdue filing leads to that outcome. For directors in Sutton-in-ashfield, the practical first step is usually to establish exactly which accounting periods are outstanding and what information is available to prepare them. Depending on the company’s size, structure and circumstances, the accounts may originally have been due under the micro-entity framework, the small companies regime or another applicable reporting framework, and that needs to be confirmed rather than assumed. It is also worth remembering that other compliance matters — such as confirmation statements, Corporation Tax Returns or HMRC obligations — sit separately from Companies House accounts and may need attention in their own right.

─── 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.

What does it mean if my company accounts are overdue?

It means the deadline for delivering the company's statutory accounts to Companies House has passed and the required accounts have not yet been filed. The accounts do not change into a different type of document simply because they are late — they remain the annual accounts for that accounting period, and the company is still responsible for preparing and delivering them. The applicable deadline depends on the company's accounting reference period and circumstances, so it is worth confirming exactly which period is outstanding and what the Companies House record currently shows before deciding how to proceed.

Why might company accounts become overdue?

There are several common reasons: a director may not have realised the filing date had arrived, bookkeeping records may not have been kept up to date, a change of accountant may have left a gap in the process, or a quiet period for the company may have led to the assumption that nothing needed to be filed. Whatever the cause, the filing obligation itself remains. For directors in Sutton-in-ashfield, a simple review of which periods are outstanding and what records exist is usually the most useful starting point.

Do dormant companies still need to file overdue accounts?

In most cases, yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues, and a dormant company can still have overdue accounts if the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline. Dormant companies often have limited transactions to report and may qualify for a simpler set of accounts depending on their circumstances, but that does not remove the filing requirement where one applies. The company's position and its Companies House record should be checked before assuming nothing needs to be done.

What happens if accounts are filed late with Companies House?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. The penalty that applies depends on the length of the delay and the company's circumstances, so it is not the case that every late filing results in the same outcome. The company's public record will also reflect that the accounts were filed late. Beyond the penalty itself, prolonged or repeated non-compliance can lead to further action by Companies House, which is why outstanding accounts are generally better dealt with sooner rather than later.

If a late filing penalty is paid, does the company still have to file the accounts?

Yes. Paying a penalty and filing the outstanding accounts are two separate matters. Settling a penalty does not remove the requirement to prepare and deliver the accounts that are due, and that obligation continues until the accounts have been submitted and accepted by Companies House. If you think a penalty has been issued incorrectly, an appeal may be possible depending on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules, but that is a separate process from the filing itself.

What happens when more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Each outstanding accounting period may need to be addressed separately, so a company with several overdue periods may need several sets of accounts prepared and filed. The periods are usually dealt with in order, and the figures for a later period can depend on the earlier ones being finalised first. Setting out clearly which periods are outstanding at the outset helps the work to be planned properly and reduces the risk of anything being overlooked.

Can a company still file overdue accounts after receiving a strike-off notice?

In many cases a company can still file outstanding accounts, but the position needs to be looked at carefully. Companies House may take action against companies that persistently fail to meet their filing obligations, and that can include compulsory strike-off action, although not every overdue filing leads to that outcome. If a strike-off notice has been received, or if the company has already been dissolved, the matter may require separate advice, including restoration or legal guidance, rather than being handled as an ordinary overdue filing. Filing alone does not automatically stop strike-off action, so prompt action matters.

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

Some companies may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, but eligibility is not automatic and needs to be checked against the company's legal structure, accounting period and circumstances. Where a company does qualify, the overdue accounts may still be prepared under the micro-entity framework, often in line with FRS 105, the financial reporting standard applicable to qualifying entities using that framework. Depending on the company's size and position, small company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts may be more suitable. It is also worth remembering that not everything is filed in the same place: statutory accounts go to Companies House, a CT600 Corporation Tax Return is submitted to HMRC where applicable, and a confirmation statement is a separate Companies House filing. Micro Entity Accounts can review your circumstances, confirm the appropriate basis for each outstanding period and assist with preparing and filing the documents that are due.
