 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 Is Worth Addressing Them Promptly

Company accounts generally have to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline, which is normally calculated from the company’s accounting reference period and its individual circumstances. When that deadline passes and the required statutory accounts have not been delivered, the accounts become overdue — whether the company has been trading actively, has had a quiet period, or is dormant. Directors across Whitehaven who have missed a filing date often find that the position is more manageable than they feared once the outstanding periods have been properly reviewed. The requirements are not the same for every company: an overdue entity may originally have been required to prepare micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts, depending on its size, legal structure, accounting period and reporting framework. Where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period may need to be prepared and delivered separately, and any late-filing penalty that Companies House applies is a distinct matter from the obligation to file the accounts themselves. Dealing with outstanding accounts reasonably promptly matters, because the longer they remain unfiled, the more the position can escalate, and Companies House may take action against companies that persistently fail to meet their filing obligations. It is also worth remembering that Companies House filing sits separately from HMRC Corporation Tax obligations, so an overdue CT600 Corporation Tax Return or a confirmation statement may need to be addressed alongside the accounts.

─── 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 become overdue when the applicable statutory filing deadline has passed and the required accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. On its own, this does not mean a company has been suspended or removed from the register — it simply means that the filing obligation remains outstanding. The deadline depends on the company's accounting reference period and its particular circumstances, so directors in Whitehaven who have missed a date should confirm exactly which periods remain unfiled rather than assume the position is limited to a single year.

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

Yes, in most cases. Once accounts are overdue, the requirement to prepare and deliver them to Companies House does not fall away, and the position can become more involved the longer it is left. The appropriate form of accounts depends on the company's size, legal structure, accounting period and reporting framework. Some companies may qualify for micro-entity accounts, while others will need small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts. Eligibility for the micro-entity framework is not automatic, so it is worth confirming before preparation begins.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

It can. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company may still have annual accounts filing obligations at Companies House, and where those accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, they are overdue in the same way as any other unfiled accounts. Dormant status does not automatically remove the requirement to file, although the accounts themselves may be prepared on a different basis where the company genuinely meets the dormancy conditions.

What happens if overdue accounts are delivered late?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. The level of any penalty depends on the circumstances and how late the delivery is, and not every company will be treated in the same way. Filing the outstanding accounts does not automatically remove or cancel an applicable penalty — the obligation to file and any penalty are separate matters. Where a penalty arises, whether an appeal may be possible depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

If we pay a late-filing penalty, does that remove the need to file?

No. Paying a penalty does not satisfy or replace the requirement to deliver the outstanding accounts. Those accounts still need to be prepared and filed where required, and any penalty is dealt with as a separate matter. Directors should also check whether other compliance points are outstanding, such as a confirmation statement or an overdue Corporation Tax Return, because filing the accounts alone does not automatically resolve those obligations.

Several accounting periods are outstanding — can they all be dealt with?

In many cases, yes, although each outstanding accounting period generally needs to be prepared and, where required, delivered separately. Filing one set of accounts does not automatically clear the other periods. The work involved depends on the records available for each period, and it is usually sensible to review what has already been filed and what remains outstanding before confirming the approach.

Can overdue accounts affect my company's position on the Companies House register?

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. That said, an overdue filing does not mean a company is automatically dissolved or struck off. If a company has already received a strike-off notice, or has been dissolved, the situation may need to be handled as a separate matter involving restoration or legal advice rather than simply as an ordinary overdue accounts filing.

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

We support companies and directors in Whitehaven by reviewing what remains outstanding, preparing overdue statutory accounts accurately and assisting with delivery to Companies House.

Where relevant, we can also look at separate matters such as confirmation statements and Corporation Tax obligations, including CT600 Corporation Tax Returns, so the wider compliance position is clear. We will let you know what information is needed — bookkeeping records, bank statements, invoices, expense records, previous accounts and company details, depending on the periods involved — and confirm anything that requires your review or authorisation before submission.
