He helped me sort out a very complicated backlog of accounts and prepared my overdue tax returns with professionalism and attention to detail.

 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 Sorting Out Now

Company accounts become overdue when the statutory filing deadline for a particular accounting period has passed and the required accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. That deadline is not identical for every company — it depends on the company’s accounting reference period, whether it is a first period of account and its own individual circumstances — so the sensible starting point is to compare what has actually been filed on the Companies House record with what should have been filed. Once a period is overdue, the obligation to prepare and deliver the accounts does not disappear. The outstanding statutory accounts still need to be prepared within the reporting framework that applies to that period, which for some qualifying companies may be micro-entity accounts under FRS 105 and for others small-company accounts or another applicable form, then reviewed and authorised by the director before delivery. Late delivery can result in a late-filing penalty, and the longer a set of accounts remains outstanding the more serious the position may become, so dealing with it sooner rather than later is usually the practical approach. It is also worth remembering that filing the accounts does not automatically settle everything else: any confirmation statement that remains due, or Corporation Tax Returns owed to HMRC, are separate compliance matters that may need attention as well. Directors in Whitehouse Lane who are unsure of their position can have the relevant periods reviewed and brought up to date.

─── 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 are overdue company accounts, and does the company still have to file them?

Overdue company accounts are the statutory accounts for an accounting period that should have been delivered to Companies House by the applicable filing deadline but have not been filed. The accounts themselves do not change simply because they are late — the company still needs a set of accounts prepared in the correct reporting framework for that period, approved by the director and delivered. What changes is the compliance position: the deadline has passed and the filing stays outstanding until it is dealt with. Filing remains necessary even where the period is many months behind, subject to the applicable requirements.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company that has not traded may still have annual accounts filing obligations at Companies House, and if the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, that filing becomes overdue. Dormant accounts are not the same thing as overdue accounts, and dormant status does not by itself remove the requirement to file where one applies.

What happens if company accounts are filed late?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. Whether a penalty applies, and how it is calculated, depends on how late the filing is and the company's circumstances, and no two cases are necessarily treated in the same way. The penalty is also a separate matter from the filing itself: delivering the outstanding accounts addresses the filing obligation, but it does not automatically cancel, reduce or remove any penalty that may apply.

If a late-filing penalty is paid, does the company still need to file the accounts?

Yes. Paying a penalty does not satisfy the filing obligation, and the outstanding accounts still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House where required. The two matters run alongside each other rather than one replacing the other. In some circumstances it may be possible to appeal against a late-filing penalty, but eligibility depends on the reasons for the delay and the applicable Companies House rules, and an appeal should not be assumed to s쳮d.

What if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Where several periods are outstanding, each one generally needs to be addressed separately, which normally means preparing a set of accounts for each period and filing them in the correct order. Filing one set of accounts does not automatically clear the remaining periods, and where a company has fallen behind over a number of years the work is usually planned out period by period. It is also worth noting that overdue accounts do not resolve other compliance matters, such as a confirmation statement that remains due or any Corporation Tax Returns owed to HMRC.

Are CT600 Corporation Tax Returns separate from the accounts filed with Companies House?

Yes, they are separate. Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House where required, while Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600 are submitted to HMRC where applicable. Delivering overdue accounts to Companies House does not automatically satisfy a company's Corporation Tax obligations, so where both are outstanding they need to be treated as distinct compliance matters that may have to be dealt with alongside each other.

Can micro-entity accounts be used for an overdue filing?

Where the company qualifies for that period, the accounts can be prepared using the micro-entity framework, with FRS 105 as the financial reporting standard that applies to qualifying entities using it. Qualification depends on the company's size, legal structure and circumstances for the period in question, and not every company will qualify. Some companies will need small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts instead, so eligibility is always checked before the accounts are prepared.

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

We prepare the outstanding accounts for each period that remains overdue, confirm which reporting framework applies, and go through the figures with you so that you can review and authorise the documents before anything is submitted. We can also check the Companies House record to establish what has already been filed and what is still due, and flag other outstanding matters such as confirmation statements or HMRC obligations where they arise. Because requirements differ from company to company, the work is scoped after we have reviewed your particular circumstances, and pricing is set out clearly in advance with no hidden costs.
