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 Become Overdue

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline. That date is linked to the company’s accounting reference period and can differ from one company to the next — a company that has changed its accounting reference date, or one with a shortened or extended period, may not be working to the same deadline as others. Once the deadline passes and the required accounts have not been delivered, those accounts are treated as overdue, and the filing obligation generally continues until they are submitted. An overdue filing does not by itself mean the company has been dissolved or removed from the register; it means a required filing is still outstanding. Overdue accounts are often caused by ordinary pressures: a demanding trading period, a change of accountant, incomplete bookkeeping records, or simply not realising that a deadline had passed. Whatever the reason, outstanding accounts are usually better addressed sooner than later. Alongside the accounts themselves, a company may have other obligations that are dealt with separately. A confirmation statement, for example, is submitted to Companies House and is not the same thing as the annual accounts, while Corporation Tax Returns such as the CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable. Bringing the accounts up to date does not automatically resolve those separate matters. Where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each set may need to be prepared and delivered separately. The information required depends on the period being prepared and on the records available, and the appropriate format depends on the company’s size, legal structure and reporting framework at the relevant time — micro-entity accounts, small company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts. It should not be assumed that overdue accounts are micro-entity accounts simply because the business is small, and eligibility needs to be considered before a framework is applied. If a company has already received a strike-off notice or has been dissolved, that situation may need separate restoration or legal advice rather than being treated as an ordinary late filing.

─── 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 for company accounts to be overdue?

Company accounts generally need to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline, which is based on the company's accounting reference period and its individual circumstances. Once that deadline has passed and the required accounts have not been delivered, the accounts are overdue. This does not in itself mean the company has been struck off or removed from the register — it means a required filing remains outstanding, and the obligation to file generally continues.

Do we still have to file accounts that are already late?

In most cases, yes. The filing obligation does not disappear simply because the deadline has passed, so the outstanding accounts still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House where required. It is also worth checking whether other obligations are outstanding, such as a confirmation statement or Corporation Tax matters, because these are handled separately from the statutory accounts.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company can still have Companies House filing obligations, and if the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, they can be overdue. Dormant status does not automatically remove the requirement to file, and the form and content of the accounts that are due will depend on the company's circumstances.

Will Companies House impose a penalty for filing late?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the position depends on the circumstances rather than following a uniform pattern for every company. Paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to prepare and deliver the outstanding accounts — the penalty and the filing obligation are separate matters. If you believe a penalty has been issued incorrectly, whether an appeal is possible depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

What happens if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Where several accounting periods are outstanding, each set of accounts may need to be prepared and delivered separately, and filing one period does not automatically resolve the others. We can review the company's filing history, identify which periods remain outstanding and work through them in a sensible order so that the correct accounts are prepared for each period.

Can overdue accounts be prepared as micro-entity accounts?

Some companies may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, and where they do, an outstanding period may be prepared on that basis using FRS 105, the financial reporting standard applicable to qualifying entities under the micro-entity framework. Not every company qualifies, and eligibility depends on factors such as size, legal structure and the accounting period concerned. Eligibility should be confirmed before any framework is applied.

Are Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements separate from the accounts?

Yes. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as the CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable. A confirmation statement is also submitted to Companies House and is separate from the annual accounts. Filing overdue accounts may not resolve these other obligations, so it is sensible to check what else remains outstanding.

How can Micro Entity Accounts help with overdue company accounts in Welling?

We support directors and companies in Welling that need to bring outstanding accounts up to date. We review the filing position, confirm which periods are outstanding, prepare the relevant statutory accounts from the records available and assist with delivery to Companies House, with documents reviewed and authorised by you before submission.
