It means the accounts that were required to be delivered to Companies House have not been delivered by the applicable statutory deadline. The deadline is not the same for every company — it depends on the company's accounting reference period, whether it is a first set of accounts or a later period, and the company's individual circumstances. Once that deadline has passed with nothing filed, the accounts are overdue, and they stay as an outstanding obligation on the company's Companies House record until they are prepared, approved where required, and delivered.
The reasons vary widely. A director may have assumed an accountant was handling the filing, the bookkeeping may have fallen behind, there may have been illness or a change of personnel, or there may simply have been uncertainty about which reporting framework applied. In some cases the company stopped trading and the directors assumed nothing further was needed. None of these situations changes the underlying filing position, so it is worth checking the company's own record at Companies House rather than relying on an assumption about the deadline.
Yes, where the accounts were required to be delivered, the obligation does not disappear once the deadline has passed. Overdue statutory accounts still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House. Depending on the circumstances, this may mean dealing with more than one outstanding accounting period. Filing the accounts also does not automatically resolve other separate obligations the company may have, such as confirmation statements or Corporation Tax matters.
Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company may have simpler accounts to prepare and may file under different arrangements, but dormancy does not by itself remove an annual accounts filing obligation where one applies. If the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, a dormant company can have overdue accounts in exactly the same way as a trading company. What matters is the deadline that applied and whether the documents were actually delivered.
Where accounts are delivered late, Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty, and the level of that penalty generally increases the longer the accounts remain outstanding. Not every company faces the same penalty, and whether an appeal is possible depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules. Persistent non-compliance can also increase the risk of further action by Companies House, which in some cases may include compulsory strike-off proceedings — although this is not automatic for every company with overdue accounts. If a strike-off notice has already been received, or the company has been dissolved, that situation may need separate restoration or legal advice rather than being treated as a routine overdue filing.
No. Paying a penalty and filing the accounts are two separate matters. Settling a penalty does not remove the requirement to prepare and deliver the outstanding accounts to Companies House, and delivering the accounts does not by itself cancel any penalty that has already been applied. We can review your position and explain what remains outstanding, but we cannot promise that a penalty will be reduced, removed or successfully appealed — that depends on the circumstances and the applicable rules.
Where several periods are behind, each one may need to be addressed separately, which means several sets of accounts may need to be prepared and delivered. The framework used can also differ from period to period. A company that qualified for micro-entity accounts under FRS 105, the financial reporting standard for qualifying entities using the micro-entity framework, in one period may or may not qualify in another, depending on its size and circumstances at the time. Small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts may be more appropriate for a particular period, so eligibility is considered on a period-by-period basis.
We start by reviewing what is actually outstanding at Companies House and identifying which accounting periods need attention. From there we can prepare the overdue accounts using the records available to us, explain what information is still needed — such as bookkeeping records, bank statements, invoices, expense records, previous accounts and company details — and support the filing of the accounts with Companies House. Everything that requires your confirmation or approval is set out clearly before submission. We can also flag where separate matters, such as a confirmation statement or a Corporation Tax Return (CT600) where applicable, still need to be dealt with. Get in touch and we will look at your company's position with you.
