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 Overdue Company Accounts Mean, and Why It Usually Pays to Act Early

Company accounts become overdue when the filing deadline that applies to a set of accounts has passed and those accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. That deadline is not the same for every company — it depends on factors such as the accounting reference period, whether it is a first set of accounts and the company’s own circumstances. Once the date has passed, the accounts remain outstanding until they are properly prepared and filed. Directors in Waltham Cross sometimes assume that nothing further is required because the company has not traded, has no income, or is dormant. That is not automatically the case. A dormant company can still have annual accounts filing obligations, and dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. In general, the longer accounts remain outstanding, the more serious the consequences may become, which is why it usually makes sense to establish exactly what is outstanding and to deal with it promptly rather than leave it in place. Filing the accounts is only part of the picture. A company may also need to address outstanding confirmation statements, Corporation Tax matters with HMRC, or several accounting periods at once. Each of these is a separate compliance matter, and the right approach depends on the company’s circumstances. We can review your position, explain what is required and assist with preparing and filing the necessary documents.

─── 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 are overdue company accounts, and how do I know if my company has them?

Company accounts are overdue when the filing deadline that applies to that set of accounts has passed and the accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. There is no single deadline that applies to every company — it depends on the accounting reference period and the company's circumstances. For a limited company, the position is usually visible on the Companies House register, where the filing history and next accounts due date are shown. If the register indicates that accounts are outstanding, they will generally still need to be prepared and filed.

My company has not traded, or has been dormant — do the accounts still need to be filed?

Dormancy and overdue filing are separate matters. A dormant company can still have an annual accounts filing obligation, and where those accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, they can become overdue. A company does not become exempt from filing simply because it has not traded or has had no income during the period. Where a company qualifies as dormant for Companies House purposes, the accounts prepared may take a different form, but the filing requirement still needs to be considered and met where applicable.

What happens if the accounts are filed late with Companies House?

Where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty. The position depends on the circumstances of the filing and how late the accounts are, and the penalty is a separate matter from the requirement to file the accounts themselves. Filing late also means the accounts appear on the public record as having been delivered after the due date, which is something most directors want to resolve as soon as they reasonably can.

Will Companies House impose a late-filing penalty, and does paying it remove the requirement to file?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the deadline, and the amount depends on the circumstances. Paying any penalty does not remove the requirement to file the outstanding accounts — the two matters are separate. Where a penalty has been issued, it may be possible to appeal, but eligibility depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules. We can explain the position and assist with preparing and filing the accounts, but we cannot guarantee that a penalty will be reduced, cancelled or removed.

More than one accounting period is outstanding — can they be dealt with together?

If several accounting periods are outstanding, each set of accounts generally needs to be prepared and filed separately, and filing one period does not automatically resolve the others. The order in which the periods are dealt with can matter, and the amount of work involved depends on what records are available for each one. We can review which periods remain outstanding and set out a sensible approach for bringing them all up to date.

Can a company still file overdue accounts after receiving a Companies House warning or strike-off notice?

A strike-off notice indicates that Companies House is taking action because of non-compliance, and this is not the same as an ordinary overdue filing. If your company has received a warning, it is important to take advice promptly, as the position can be time-sensitive. Filing overdue accounts does not guarantee that strike-off action will be halted or reversed. If a company has already been dissolved, restoring it to the register is a separate process and specialist or legal advice may be required.

What information is needed to prepare overdue company accounts?

This depends on the company and on the accounting period being prepared, so not every company will need to provide exactly the same documents. Information commonly required includes bookkeeping records, bank statements, invoices, expense records, details of assets and liabilities, previous accounts and the company's registration details. Where records for a period are incomplete, we will discuss what can be reconstructed and what further information is needed before the accounts can be finalised.

Can micro-entity accounts be used for an overdue filing, and are Corporation Tax and confirmation statements separate?

Where a company meets the eligibility criteria, it may be able to prepare its accounts under the micro-entity framework, with FRS 105 as the financial reporting standard applicable to qualifying entities using that framework. This is not automatic, and it is not simply a matter of the business being small — the company's legal structure, accounting period, size and circumstances all need to be considered. It is also worth remembering that statutory accounts are filed with Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600 are submitted to HMRC, and a confirmation statement is a separate Companies House filing. Delivering overdue accounts does not automatically satisfy those other obligations.
