 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 Quickly

Company accounts become 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. The applicable deadline depends on factors such as the company’s accounting reference period, whether it is a first set of accounts and the company’s own circumstances, so it is not identical for every company. Once that date has passed, the filing obligation itself does not disappear — the accounts still need to be prepared, approved by the director, and delivered where required. Directors in Tameside who find themselves in this position are usually dealing with a mix of missing records, an accountant who has stopped responding, or a period of trading they had not realised needed reporting. How serious the position becomes depends on the circumstances: the length of the delay, whether earlier periods are also outstanding, and whether Companies House has already been in contact. Late delivery can lead to a late-filing penalty, and the longer accounts remain outstanding, the more likely it is that further compliance issues will arise. It is also worth remembering that Companies House accounts and HMRC Corporation Tax obligations are separate matters, so bringing one up to date does not automatically resolve the other.

─── 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 in Tameside?

It means the statutory filing deadline for one or more accounting periods has passed and the accounts for those periods have not been delivered to Companies House. The obligation to prepare and file them does not go away simply because the date has passed. The company remains responsible for bringing the filing up to date, so the practical priority is usually to establish exactly which periods are outstanding and what information is needed to prepare them.

Why do company accounts end up being filed late?

There is no single reason. Directors often tell us the bookkeeping fell behind, the previous accountant stopped responding, the company had a quiet or dormant period and filing was overlooked, or there was a change in ownership or directors around the year end. In some cases the director was simply unaware that the deadline had passed. The cause does not change the position, but understanding it does help when working out what records are available and how quickly each outstanding period can be prepared.

Do I still need to file accounts if the company is dormant?

In many cases, yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues: a dormant company can still have an annual accounts filing obligation and can therefore have overdue accounts if the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline. Whether a company qualifies for any exemption or simplification depends on its circumstances, and dormant status should not be assumed to remove the filing requirement altogether.

What happens if accounts are filed after the deadline?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. Penalty levels are set by Companies House and depend on how late the filing is, so we do not quote figures in advance. Paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to file the outstanding accounts — the two matters are separate. Where a penalty has been issued, whether an appeal is possible depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules, and we can talk through the position with you.

My company has more than one accounting period outstanding. Can they all be dealt with?

Yes, but each outstanding period generally needs to be prepared and filed as its own set of accounts, usually in the correct order. Filing one period does not automatically clear the others. The starting point is normally to confirm which periods are outstanding, gather the records for each, and then work through them methodically. The time this takes depends on the state of the records and the number of periods involved.

Are overdue company accounts the same as an overdue CT600 Corporation Tax Return?

No. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while a CT600 Corporation Tax Return is submitted to HMRC where applicable. Filing overdue accounts at Companies House does not automatically satisfy any outstanding Corporation Tax obligation, and settling Corporation Tax does not remove the accounts filing requirement. If both are overdue, they need to be addressed as separate compliance matters.

Can a small company use micro-entity accounts for an overdue filing?

Some companies may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, and where they do, micro-entity accounts prepared under FRS 105 may be an option for the overdue period. However, not every small company qualifies, and the framework that applies depends on the company's legal structure, size, accounting period and eligibility under the relevant criteria. A company that should have filed small-company accounts or another form of statutory accounts cannot simply switch to the micro-entity framework because the filing is late.

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

We start by reviewing your Companies House record and any previous accounts to identify which periods remain outstanding. From there we prepare the statutory accounts based on the records you provide, confirm the appropriate reporting framework, and assist with filing them at Companies House where required. Where relevant, we can also look at separate matters such as outstanding confirmation statements or Corporation Tax obligations so you have a clear picture of what still needs to be done. Accounts are shared with you for review and authorisation before anything is submitted.
