 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with Accotx on a HMRC reclaim and overall, they did ultimately deliver on their promise, which I appreciate. The process did take longer than any of us expected, partly due to external delays with the tax authorities, and partly because there were some hiccups in communication and follow-up. However, despite those challenges, they stayed professional and stuck to the original agreed terms. If you’re considering using them, be prepared to stay in regular contact to keep things moving along. They are absolutely capable, have the expertise and willing to work with you, and overall  improving their services over time. I would certainly return for any future needs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Imran to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable accountant. 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.

─── OVERDUE ACCOUNTS EXPLAINED

What Makes Company Accounts Overdue, and Why Directors in Swaffham Norfolk Should Act on It

Company accounts generally need to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline for the accounting period they cover. Once that deadline passes and the required accounts have not been filed, those accounts become overdue. The deadline is not identical for every company, as it can depend on the accounting reference period, whether it is a first set of accounts and other circumstances, so the practical starting point is to check the Companies House record and establish exactly which periods remain outstanding. Leaving overdue company accounts unresolved rarely improves the position. The longer a filing stays outstanding, the more serious the consequences may become, and Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. Persistent non-compliance can also lead to further action by Companies House, which in some cases may include compulsory strike-off. Each outstanding accounting period usually needs to be prepared and filed separately, and the accounts still have to be prepared on the correct basis, which may be micro-entity accounts under FRS 105, small company accounts or another applicable framework depending on the company’s size, structure and circumstances. Dormant companies are not automatically outside the filing regime, as dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues and a dormant company can still have outstanding accounts. Filing with Companies House also does not, by itself, settle other compliance matters. Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable, and a confirmation statement is a separate Companies House filing, so these may need to be brought up to date alongside the accounts.

─── 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 when company accounts are overdue?

Company accounts are generally treated as overdue when the statutory deadline for the relevant accounting period has passed and the required accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. The deadline itself varies between companies, because it can depend on the accounting reference period, whether it is a first set of accounts and other individual circumstances. If you are unsure where your company stands, we can review the Companies House record and confirm which periods remain outstanding.

Do overdue company accounts still need to be filed?

In most cases yes, where a filing obligation applies to the company. The accounts still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House, and the appropriate form of accounts depends on the company's circumstances, as some companies qualify for micro-entity accounts while others prepare small company accounts or another applicable framework. An overdue period does not remove the requirement to file, and completing one set of accounts will not usually resolve other outstanding periods or unrelated compliance matters.

Can a dormant company have overdue company accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company can still have Companies House filing obligations, and where the required annual accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, those accounts may be overdue even though the company was not trading. Dormant status does not automatically exempt a company from filing, although the accounts themselves may be prepared on a simpler basis where the relevant conditions are met.

What happens if the accounts are delivered to Companies House after the deadline?

When accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty under its published rules, and the level of penalty can depend on how late the accounts are and the circumstances of the filing. Persistent failure to meet filing obligations can also lead to further action by Companies House in some cases. Filing the accounts does not automatically cancel or reduce a penalty that has already been issued, as the outstanding filing and any penalty are separate matters.

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

No. Paying a penalty does not satisfy the underlying filing obligation. The outstanding accounts still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House where required, and settling a penalty does not automatically cancel it, reduce it or replace the need to file. Any appeal against a penalty is considered separately and eligibility depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

What if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Where several periods are outstanding, each one generally needs to be prepared and filed separately, and completing a single set of accounts does not automatically resolve the others. The order in which the periods are dealt with can matter, particularly where figures need to be carried forward from one period to the next. We can review the position and set out what is required for each outstanding period.

Are CT600 Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements dealt with separately from company accounts?

Yes, these are separate compliance matters. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable, and a confirmation statement is a separate Companies House filing again. Bringing overdue accounts up to date does not automatically satisfy any outstanding Corporation Tax or confirmation statement obligations, so it is sensible to review all of them together.
