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 Are Overdue

Company accounts generally need to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline, which is normally set by reference to the company’s accounting reference period and its individual circumstances. When that deadline passes and the required accounts have not been delivered, the accounts are treated as overdue. This is a filing position rather than a change of company status: the company remains on the register, but the obligation to file is still there and remains outstanding until the accounts are prepared and delivered. Directors in Wanstead London who find themselves in this position are not alone, and the sensible step is to establish exactly what is outstanding and deal with it. Overdue accounts may have originally been prepared under the micro-entity framework, the small companies regime or another applicable form of statutory accounts, depending on the company’s size, legal structure, accounting period and reporting framework, so the correct basis needs to be confirmed before anything is filed. If several accounting periods have been missed, each period may need to be addressed separately, and there may also be confirmation statements or Corporation Tax matters to consider, since these are distinct from Companies House accounts filing. The longer accounts remain outstanding, the more serious the consequences may become, so reviewing your position early is usually the better course.

─── 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 Wanstead London?

It means the statutory deadline for delivering your accounts to Companies House has passed and the required accounts have not yet been filed. The company itself is still on the Companies House register, but the filing obligation remains outstanding until the accounts are prepared and delivered. Because filing deadlines are based on your company's accounting reference period and its circumstances, the position should be checked rather than assumed.

Do we still have to file the accounts, or can we simply ignore them?

The accounts generally still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House where required, even if the company has been dormant, has not traded or has no income for the period. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues, and a dormant company can still have overdue accounts if it failed to file on time. Ignoring the position does not remove the obligation.

What happens if the accounts are delivered after the deadline?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the penalty position depends on factors such as how late the filing is and the company's filing history. Paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to file the outstanding accounts, and the two matters are dealt with separately. Where you believe a penalty should not apply, eligibility for an appeal depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

We have more than one accounting period outstanding — how is that handled?

Each outstanding period generally needs to be prepared and filed separately, so several sets of accounts may be required. Filing one set will not automatically resolve the other periods. We can review which accounting periods remain outstanding for your company and work through them in a logical order, making sure the figures and disclosures for each period are consistent with the records available.

Could overdue accounts affect our company's status or lead to strike-off action?

Not every company with overdue accounts is dissolved automatically. Companies House may take action against companies that fail to meet their filing obligations, and persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of compulsory strike-off action. Filing the outstanding accounts does not guarantee that any strike-off process will be stopped or reversed. If your company has already received a strike-off notice, or has been dissolved, the position may need separate restoration steps or legal advice rather than being treated as an ordinary overdue filing.

Can overdue accounts be filed using the micro-entity framework if we qualify?

Some companies with overdue accounts may qualify to prepare micro-entity accounts under FRS 105, but this is not automatic and it should not be assumed simply because the business is small. Eligibility depends on the company's size, legal structure, accounting period and the applicable reporting requirements. We confirm the appropriate framework before preparing the overdue accounts, and if the company does not qualify we prepare accounts under the relevant alternative framework.

Are our CT600 Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements affected?

These are separate compliance matters. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as the CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable, and filing overdue accounts with Companies House does not automatically satisfy any HMRC obligation. A confirmation statement is also submitted separately to Companies House and does not replace annual accounts. Where several obligations are outstanding, we can help you identify what needs attention and in what order.

How can Micro Entity Accounts help with overdue company accounts?

We review your outstanding filing position, confirm what is required for each affected accounting period, prepare the statutory accounts and assist with delivery to Companies House. You may need to provide bookkeeping records, bank statements, invoices, expense records, previous accounts and company details, although the exact information depends on your circumstances and the periods being prepared. All our accountants are qualified and regulated by ICAEW, ACCA and AAT, and documents are reviewed and authorised by you before submission.
