 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 Acting Early

Company accounts become overdue when the statutory filing deadline for a particular accounting period has passed and the required accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. That deadline is not identical for every company: it is generally calculated from the end of the relevant accounting reference period, but the exact position can vary depending on the company’s circumstances, any change of year end, and the filings it has made previously. Once the deadline has passed, the accounts remain outstanding until they are properly prepared and submitted, and that obligation does not fall away because the company has stopped trading, has no income for the period, or has been dormant. For directors in Widnes Cheshire, the practical approach is usually to establish exactly what is outstanding and deal with it openly and without delay. Companies House can impose late-filing penalties when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the longer a filing remains outstanding, the more serious the position may become, including an increased risk of enforcement action for persistent non-compliance. It is important to understand that filing the accounts and any penalty that may apply are separate matters, so paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to deliver the accounts. Where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period may need to be prepared and filed separately. Corporation Tax obligations, such as a CT600 Corporation Tax Return for HMRC, and the confirmation statement for Companies House, are also separate compliance matters that may need to be addressed alongside the accounts, depending on the company’s circumstances.

─── 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.

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 my company accounts are overdue?

Accounts are overdue when the statutory filing deadline for an accounting period has passed and the required accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. The deadline is not the same for every company — it generally runs from the end of the accounting reference period, but it can be affected by changes to the year end and other circumstances. Until the accounts are prepared and filed, they remain outstanding, and the company continues to be in breach of its filing obligation.

Do overdue accounts still have to be filed with Companies House?

Yes. An overdue filing means the deadline has passed and the accounts remain outstanding; it does not remove the requirement to prepare and deliver them. In most cases the accounts still need to be prepared for the relevant period and submitted to Companies House, subject to the applicable requirements and the company's circumstances. If the company has stopped trading or has no income, that does not by itself cancel the obligation.

Can a dormant company have overdue company accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company still has Companies House filing obligations, and if the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, the position is simply that those accounts are overdue. Dormant status does not automatically exempt a company from filing, so it is worth checking the company record and confirming which periods, if any, remain outstanding.

What happens if accounts are filed after the deadline?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the penalty depends on how late the filing is and the company's circumstances. Filing the accounts and any penalty are separate matters, so paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to deliver the outstanding accounts. Persistent non-compliance can also increase the risk of further enforcement action, which is why dealing with outstanding filings promptly is usually the better course.

What if several accounting periods are outstanding?

Where a company has more than one overdue accounting period, each period may need to be prepared and filed separately, because each carries its own accounts and its own filing deadline. Filing one set of accounts does not automatically resolve the others. We can review the Companies House record to establish which periods are outstanding and work through them in a sensible order, depending on the records available for each period.

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

Possibly, but only where the company qualifies for the micro-entity reporting framework for that period. Not every small company is eligible, and eligibility depends on factors such as the company's legal structure, size and accounting period. Some companies with overdue accounts may have originally been required to prepare micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts, so the correct framework needs to be confirmed before anything is prepared.

Are CT600 Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements separate from the accounts?

Yes. Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House, while a CT600 Corporation Tax Return is submitted to HMRC where applicable, and a confirmation statement is a separate Companies House filing. Submitting overdue accounts to Companies House does not automatically satisfy any Corporation Tax obligations, and it does not replace a confirmation statement. Where several of these filings are outstanding, they generally need to be addressed as separate compliance matters.

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

We can review what is outstanding, confirm the reporting framework that applies to each period, prepare the accounts from the records you hold and assist with filing them at Companies House. Where relevant, we can also explain how Corporation Tax, confirmation statement and other filing matters fit alongside the accounts. Our accountants are fully qualified and regulated by ICAEW, ACCA and AAT, and our pricing is clear and fixed-fee, with no hidden costs.
