 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

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 factors such as the company’s accounting reference period, whether it is a first set of accounts and its individual circumstances — so the practical starting point is to establish precisely which accounting periods remain outstanding. Once accounts are overdue, the obligation to prepare and file them does not disappear, and the longer the position is left, the more complicated it generally becomes: further periods can fall due, the Companies House record can show the company as non-compliant, and late-filing penalties may apply where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. Directors in Watchet sometimes assume nothing needs to be filed because the company has not traded, has no income or has effectively been set aside, but dormancy does not by itself remove the annual accounts filing obligation. Others find themselves dealing with records left by a previous director, accountant or bookkeeper, which is why a review of what has been filed, what is missing and what information is available usually comes first. The form of accounts required — micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another applicable framework — depends on the company’s size, structure and reporting requirements and should not be assumed. We can assist with preparing and filing the outstanding statutory accounts, and where relevant explain how confirmation statements, Corporation Tax obligations and other outstanding matters may need to be dealt with separately.

─── 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?

It means the statutory deadline for delivering a particular set of annual accounts to Companies House has passed and those accounts have not yet been filed. The deadline itself depends on the company's accounting reference period and its circumstances, so the accounts are not necessarily overdue simply because the company has stopped trading. Once you know which periods are outstanding, the accounts still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House where required.

Can we still file company accounts after the deadline has passed?

Yes. Accounts can still be prepared and delivered to Companies House after the deadline, although late-filing penalties may apply depending on the circumstances and how late the filing is. Filing the outstanding accounts does not necessarily cancel any penalty that has already been incurred — the requirement to file and the penalty are separate matters. We can assist with preparing and submitting the accounts and explain what else may need to be addressed.

Our company has never traded. Can it still have overdue accounts?

Yes, it can. A dormant company still has Companies House filing obligations, and dormancy does not automatically exempt a company from filing annual accounts by the applicable deadline. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues — a company becomes overdue because the required accounts were not delivered in time, not because of its trading position. Where a company is dormant, the accounts required may be simpler, but the filing obligation and the deadline still need to be considered.

Will Companies House impose a late-filing penalty for overdue accounts?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, but the position depends on the circumstances, including how late the accounts are. Penalty amounts are not the same in every case and we do not estimate them in advance. Where a penalty has been issued, the requirement to file the outstanding accounts remains, and paying a penalty does not remove that obligation.

If we pay the late-filing penalty, do we still need to file the accounts?

Yes. Settling a penalty does not remove the underlying requirement to prepare and deliver the outstanding accounts. The penalty and the filing obligation are separate matters, so accounts that remain unfiled are still outstanding even after a penalty has been paid. In some situations a penalty appeal may be possible, but eligibility depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules rather than being available automatically.

What happens if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Where several periods are outstanding, each one generally needs to be addressed in its own right — filing one set of accounts does not automatically resolve the others. That usually means preparing and delivering more than one set of accounts, which may require records covering each period. We can review the Companies House record, establish which periods are missing and work through them in a sensible order, subject to the information available for each period.

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

An overdue filing does not, by itself, mean a company is suspended or removed from the Companies House register. However, 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. If the company has already received a strike-off notice or has been dissolved, the position may need separate restoration or legal advice rather than being treated as a routine overdue accounts filing, so it is worth seeking advice promptly.

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

We start by reviewing what has been filed, what remains outstanding and what records are available, then prepare the accounts that are due and support the Companies House filing process. The appropriate reporting framework — micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another applicable basis — is confirmed from the company's own circumstances rather than assumed. Our accountants are fully qualified and regulated by ICAEW, ACCA and AAT, and we can also explain where confirmation statements, Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600 or other HMRC matters may need to be dealt with separately.
