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.

 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

A limited company is generally required to prepare annual accounts and deliver them to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline. That deadline is not the same for every company — it depends on factors such as the company’s accounting reference period, whether it is the first set of accounts being filed, and the company’s particular circumstances. When the deadline passes and the required accounts have not been delivered, those accounts are treated as overdue and Companies House records will show the filing as outstanding. It is worth dealing with this promptly, because the longer accounts remain outstanding, the more serious the consequences may become, and late-filing penalties can apply where accounts are delivered after the deadline. A penalty is a separate matter from the filing obligation itself: paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to prepare and deliver the accounts. Dormant companies are not exempt either — they can still have overdue accounts. Where several accounting periods are outstanding, each period may need to be prepared and filed separately, so it is sensible to establish the full picture before starting.

─── 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.

Worried About Overdue Company Accounts? Let Us Help You Get Things Back on Track

Overdue accounts can feel like a problem that keeps growing, particularly if the company has been dormant, has changed hands, or has more than one accounting period outstanding. Micro Entity Accounts can review your filing position, identify which periods still need to be prepared, and assist with preparing and submitting your outstanding statutory accounts to Companies House. We will explain what information we need from you, what falls within our scope, and which separate obligations — such as a confirmation statement or a CT600 Corporation Tax Return — may also require attention. Share a few details about your company and current filing position, and we will take it from there.

─── 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?

It means the statutory filing deadline for a particular accounting period has passed and the required accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. The deadline varies between companies, so the relevant date depends on your company's accounting reference period and whether it was the first set of accounts. Being overdue is a filing position rather than a change in the company's legal status, but the outstanding accounts still need to be prepared and filed.

Do I still have to file company accounts once the deadline has passed?

Yes. An overdue filing does not remove the obligation to prepare and deliver accounts. Where the accounts remain outstanding, they should be brought up to date and filed with Companies House as soon as the company is in a position to do so. If a late-filing penalty has been issued, that penalty and the filing requirement are separate matters — settling a penalty does not discharge the duty to file.

Can a dormant company in Ullapool have overdue accounts?

It can. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company may still have an annual accounts filing obligation, and if the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, they will be overdue. A company does not become overdue simply because it has not traded; what matters is whether the deadline has passed and whether the accounts have been delivered to Companies House.

Will Companies House charge a late-filing penalty, and does paying it cancel the filing requirement?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. The penalty that may apply depends on the circumstances, and not every company receives the same outcome. Paying a penalty does not remove or cancel the requirement to file the outstanding accounts. Where a penalty appeal is considered, eligibility depends on the specific circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

What happens if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Each outstanding accounting period generally needs to be addressed in its own right, which may mean preparing and filing several sets of accounts. Filing one period does not automatically resolve the others, so it helps to establish the full sequence of outstanding periods first. The information required for each period will depend on the company's records and activities during that time.

What information is needed to prepare overdue company accounts?

It varies from company to company and depends on the period being prepared. Typically we would expect to see bookkeeping records, bank statements, invoices, expense records and any previous accounts or filings, along with current company details. If records are incomplete, we can discuss what is available and how to work around any gaps before preparation begins.

Are CT600 Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements separate from my Companies House accounts?

Yes, these are separate compliance matters. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while a CT600 Corporation Tax Return is submitted to HMRC where applicable. Filing overdue accounts with Companies House does not automatically satisfy any outstanding Corporation Tax obligations, and it does not replace a confirmation statement, which is also submitted to Companies House and kept up to date separately.

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

We can review your filing position, identify the outstanding accounting periods, and prepare and file the required statutory accounts with Companies House on your behalf. Where relevant, we can also consider whether the micro-entity framework, FRS 105 or another reporting framework applies, based on your company's eligibility. All our accountants are fully qualified and regulated by ICAEW, ACCA and AAT, and we confirm the details with you before anything is submitted.
