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. I'm very pleased with the service I've received and truly appreciate his support. If you need help with your accounts or taxes, I would highly recommend Imran.

 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, which is linked to the company’s accounting reference period and its own circumstances. Once that date passes and the required accounts have not been delivered, the accounts are treated as overdue — even where the company has not traded, has no income for the period, or the director simply lost track of the filing date. Dormancy does not remove the obligation to file annual accounts where Companies House requires them, so a dormant company can be overdue just as an active one can. The practical response is usually to bring the position up to date rather than leave it. The longer outstanding accounts remain unresolved, the more likely it is that late-filing penalties and other compliance complications will follow, although the exact consequences depend on the company’s circumstances and how many periods are outstanding. Preparing overdue accounts normally means rebuilding the figures from bank statements, invoices, expense records, bookkeeping information, previous accounts and company details, then preparing statutory accounts in the correct format. Some companies qualify for micro-entity accounts under FRS 105, others prepare small-company accounts or another applicable form — eligibility has to be considered before the framework is decided. Where several accounting periods are outstanding, each one may need its own set of accounts prepared and delivered, and any penalty already incurred is a separate matter from the filing itself. We can review your Companies House records and outstanding filing requirements with you and set out the steps involved.

─── 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?

Accounts become overdue when the statutory filing deadline for a set of annual accounts has passed and those accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. The relevant deadline depends on the company's accounting reference period and its individual circumstances, so it is worth checking the company's filing history rather than assuming a date. Being overdue is a filing position, not a change of company status.

Why do company accounts end up overdue?

There are many reasons, and most are ordinary ones: a director changed or left, records were incomplete, the accountant relationship ended, the filing reminders went to an old address, or the company had little activity and no one realised accounts were still due. A dormant or quiet period does not remove the filing obligation where it applies, so accounts can fall overdue even when nothing much happened in the business.

Do we still need to file the accounts even though the deadline has passed?

Yes. Where the filing obligation applies, the requirement to prepare and deliver statutory accounts to Companies House does not disappear because the deadline has passed. Accounts are prepared in the format the company is eligible for — micro-entity accounts under FRS 105 in some cases, small-company accounts or another applicable form in others — and the framework has to be confirmed before preparation begins. Any late-filing penalty is a separate matter from the filing itself.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes, it can. Dormancy and overdue filing are two separate issues. A dormant company may still have Companies House filing obligations, and if the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, they are overdue in the same way as any other outstanding filing. Dormant status does not automatically exempt a company from filing annual accounts.

Does Companies House impose a penalty when accounts are filed late?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. The penalty that may apply depends on the circumstances, and we would not assume that every company receives the same treatment. Where a penalty is issued, the rules on appealing it also depend on the specific situation and the applicable Companies House requirements.

If we pay the late-filing penalty, does that settle the filing obligation?

No. Paying a penalty and delivering the outstanding accounts are separate matters. Settling a penalty does not remove the requirement to prepare and file the accounts, and filing the accounts does not automatically cancel or reduce a penalty that has already been charged. Both points usually need to be dealt with in their own right.

We have more than one accounting period outstanding. How is that handled?

Where several periods are outstanding, each one may need to be addressed separately, with its own set of accounts prepared and delivered. Filing one period does not automatically clear the others. Micro Entity Accounts can review your Companies House records and outstanding filing requirements, confirm which periods remain open and work through them in a sensible order, depending on the circumstances.

Are CT600 Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements part of the same filing?

No, they are distinct obligations. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while a Corporation Tax Return such as a CT600 is submitted to HMRC where applicable, and a confirmation statement is a separate Companies House filing. Bringing overdue accounts up to date does not automatically satisfy those other obligations, so they may need to be reviewed and dealt with alongside or after the accounts. If a company has received a strike-off notice, that position may need separate consideration rather than being treated as a straightforward overdue filing.
