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

When Company Accounts Become Overdue

Company accounts become overdue when the statutory filing deadline for a set of annual accounts has passed and those accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. That deadline is not identical for every company. It depends on the company’s accounting reference period, whether a first set of accounts is involved and other circumstances, so the position is best confirmed for the specific company rather than assumed from a general rule. Once a period is outstanding, the obligation to prepare and file does not disappear, and Companies House records will continue to show the accounts as outstanding. For directors in Upshire, addressing the position early is usually more manageable than allowing further periods to build up. Filing after the deadline can lead to a late-filing penalty, and a penalty is a separate matter from the requirement to file the accounts themselves. Where a company also has other obligations outstanding, such as a confirmation statement or an HMRC Corporation Tax matter, those may need to be dealt with separately. Requirements and consequences vary according to the company’s size, reporting framework, accounting period and filing history, so the sensible first step is a review of which periods are affected and what information is available to prepare them.

─── 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.

Behind on your company accounts? We can help you prepare and file the outstanding periods.

Overdue accounts are easy to put off, and the longer a filing sits unresolved, the more uncertain directors tend to feel about where the company stands with Companies House. Micro Entity Accounts can review your outstanding filing requirements, prepare the annual accounts for each affected accounting period and assist with delivering them to Companies House as required. We will talk you through what is needed, what we can confirm from the records available and which matters sit outside the accounts themselves, such as a confirmation statement or HMRC obligations.

─── 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?

Overdue company accounts are annual accounts that should have been delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline but have not yet been filed. The accounts do not stop being required simply because the deadline has gone by. Until they are prepared and filed, they remain outstanding on the company's Companies House record, and directors should consider addressing them promptly.

Why do company accounts become overdue?

The reasons vary. Some directors are unsure of the filing date attached to the accounting reference period, some are waiting on bookkeeping or bank records, and others have stopped trading or stepped back from the company without realising that the filing obligation continues. In other cases a change in accountant or a gap in record keeping causes the accounts to fall behind. The cause does not change the obligation, but it does affect what information will be needed to bring the filings up to date.

Do outstanding accounts still need to be filed if the company has not traded?

In most cases, yes. A company that has not traded may still have to file accounts, and where the company is dormant there are usually still Companies House filing obligations to meet. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues: a dormant company can have overdue accounts if it did not file what was required by the applicable deadline. Whether the accounts are prepared as dormant accounts or under another framework depends on the company's circumstances.

Can Companies House impose a late-filing penalty?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the penalty position depends on the circumstances of the filing. The penalty and the filing of the accounts are separate matters. Paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to prepare and deliver the outstanding accounts, and an accountant cannot automatically reduce, cancel or appeal a penalty — eligibility for any appeal depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

What happens if several accounting periods are outstanding?

Where more than one accounting period has passed its filing deadline, several sets of accounts may need to be prepared and delivered, and each period is generally addressed on its own terms. Filing one set of accounts does not automatically clear the others. We can review the periods concerned and work through them in a sensible order, confirming what information is required for each one.

Can we use micro-entity accounts for an overdue filing?

Some companies may qualify for the micro-entity framework and FRS 105, the financial reporting standard that applies to qualifying entities using that framework, but qualification depends on the company's legal structure, accounting period and eligibility criteria. Not every small company qualifies, and accounts that are overdue are not automatically micro-entity accounts. The appropriate reporting framework needs to be confirmed before the accounts are prepared.

Can a company still file accounts after a strike-off warning?

A company that has received a warning from Companies House may still be able to file the outstanding accounts, but the position needs care. Companies House can take action against companies that do not meet their filing obligations, and persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of compulsory strike-off. Filing accounts does not guarantee that strike-off action will be halted or reversed. If a strike-off notice has already been issued, or the company has been dissolved, the matter may require separate legal or restoration advice rather than being treated as an ordinary overdue filing.

Are CT600 returns and confirmation statements separate from the accounts?

Yes. Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House where required, while a Corporation Tax Return such as a CT600 is submitted to HMRC where applicable, and a confirmation statement is a separate Companies House filing again. Delivering overdue accounts does not automatically satisfy HMRC Corporation Tax obligations or replace a confirmation statement. A company may need to deal with each of these matters separately, and we can confirm which filings apply to your circumstances.
