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 Makes Company Accounts Overdue and Why It Matters

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 own circumstances. When that deadline passes and the required accounts have still not been delivered, those accounts become overdue. There is no single deadline that applies to every company, and no single set of consequences — much depends on how late the accounts are, whether earlier filing deadlines have also been missed, and whether other filings remain outstanding. Once accounts are overdue, they normally still need to be prepared and delivered, and the longer they stay outstanding, the more significant the position can become, as Companies House may apply a late-filing penalty and persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of further action. Being dormant or having no trading activity does not remove the obligation to file accounts where they are due, so it is worth addressing the outstanding position as soon as it is identified, whether you are a director in Whitchurch or running a company elsewhere. Each company’s requirements differ, and the appropriate form of accounts depends on its legal structure, accounting period, size and reporting framework.

─── 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 a company's accounts are overdue?

Company accounts become overdue when the statutory accounts for an accounting period have not been delivered to Companies House by the applicable filing deadline. That deadline is worked out from the company's accounting reference period and its particular circumstances, so it is not identical for every company. If the required accounts remain outstanding after that date, the filing obligation for that period has not been met, and the accounts will generally still need to be prepared and delivered.

Why do company accounts become overdue?

The reasons vary. Directors may not have realised the filing date was approaching, bookkeeping records may be incomplete or missing, there may have been a change of accountant, or the company may have been inactive with very little to report. Whatever the cause, an overdue filing is a compliance matter that needs to be resolved, and dormancy or a lack of trading does not remove the requirement to file accounts where they were due.

Do overdue accounts still have to be filed?

Yes, where the company is required to deliver accounts to Companies House, the outstanding accounts generally still need to be prepared and filed even after the deadline has passed. Filing late can lead to a late-filing penalty, and the longer accounts remain outstanding, the more the position can escalate. We can review your circumstances and assist with preparing the required accounts for submission.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate matters. A dormant company may still have an obligation to prepare and file annual accounts, and if those accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, they become overdue. Dormant companies can also have other filings to keep up to date, such as a confirmation statement, so the full position on the Companies House record is worth checking.

What happens if company accounts are filed late?

Where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty, and the amount depends on how late the filing is and the company's filing history. Paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to file the outstanding accounts — the two matters are separate. In some cases a penalty may be appealable, but eligibility depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

What if several accounting periods are outstanding?

Where more than one filing deadline has been missed, each outstanding accounting period may need to be dealt with separately, with its own set of accounts. Filing one period does not automatically resolve the others. We can review the periods involved and work through them in a structured order, subject to the records and information available for each period being prepared.

Are Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements separate from the accounts filed at Companies House?

Yes. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable. A confirmation statement is also a separate Companies House filing and does not replace annual accounts. Filing overdue accounts therefore does not automatically settle outstanding Corporation Tax obligations or an overdue confirmation statement, and these may need to be addressed separately.

How can Micro Entity Accounts assist with Overdue Company Accounts Filing in Whitchurch?

We prepare, review and file accounts for companies that need to bring their filing position up to date, including situations where more than one accounting period is outstanding. We can look at what is required, explain the information we need, and assist with delivering the outstanding accounts to Companies House, along with reviewing any other outstanding filing requirements that may apply. All of our accountants are qualified and regulated by ICAEW, ACCA and AAT.
