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.

 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 Are Overdue

Company accounts become overdue when the statutory deadline for a particular accounting period passes and the required accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. Filing deadlines are not identical for every company — they depend on factors such as the company’s accounting reference period, whether it is a first set of accounts, and the company’s own circumstances — so the practical starting point is to establish what has actually been filed and what remains outstanding. Leaving overdue accounts unaddressed rarely improves the position: Companies House records stay out of date, late-filing penalties may apply, and the longer the delay continues, the more serious the consequences can become. Directors of companies in Winchester should not assume there is nothing to do simply because the company has not traded or considers itself dormant, since dormant companies can still have annual accounts filing obligations. Each outstanding accounting period normally has to be dealt with separately, and bringing statutory accounts up to date does not by itself settle Corporation Tax Returns such as CT600 with HMRC or a confirmation statement with Companies House. What is required in any individual case depends on the company’s legal structure, accounting period, size and reporting framework, so it is worth confirming the position before assuming the worst.

─── 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 my company accounts are overdue?

It means the statutory filing deadline for a particular accounting period has passed and the required accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. The company remains on the register and the filing obligation does not disappear. Whether the company traded during that period, and whether it was dormant, does not remove the need to consider what has to be filed, although the form of accounts required can differ depending on the company's circumstances.

Do I still need to file accounts that are already late?

In most cases, yes. Where accounts are required to be delivered to Companies House and that deadline has passed, the accounts still need to be prepared and filed. Filing the outstanding accounts and any late-filing penalty are separate matters, so paying a penalty would not remove the requirement to deliver the accounts. The position depends on the company's circumstances and the periods concerned.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company can still have annual accounts filing obligations, and if the deadline passed without the required accounts being delivered, those accounts can be overdue. Dormant status does not automatically exempt a company from filing, although the accounts themselves may be prepared on a simpler basis where the relevant conditions are met.

Will Companies House apply a late-filing penalty for overdue accounts?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the amount can vary depending on how late the filing is and the type of company and period involved. Not every case leads to the same outcome. Where a penalty is issued, whether an appeal may be possible depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules, and eligibility is not guaranteed.

If I pay a late-filing penalty, does that mean I no longer have to file the accounts?

No. The requirement to prepare and deliver the outstanding accounts and any penalty that may apply are separate matters. Settling a penalty does not cancel the filing obligation, and the accounts would still need to be prepared and submitted to Companies House where required. Similarly, paying a penalty does not automatically resolve other outstanding compliance matters the company may have.

What happens if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Where several periods are outstanding, each one may need its own set of statutory accounts prepared and filed. Dealing with a single period does not automatically clear the others, so it helps to map out exactly what is outstanding before work begins. Accounts filed with Companies House and Corporation Tax Returns submitted to HMRC are separate compliance matters, and overdue CT600 returns may need to be addressed alongside the accounts where applicable.

Can micro-entity accounts be used to bring overdue filings up to date?

Some companies may qualify to prepare accounts under the micro-entity framework, which uses the FRS 105 financial reporting standard, but not every company does. Eligibility depends on the company's legal structure, size, accounting period and the applicable reporting requirements, and it has to be confirmed rather than assumed. An overdue company may originally have been required to prepare micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts, and the correct basis needs to be established before filing.

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

Micro Entity Accounts prepares and reviews outstanding statutory accounts and assists with delivery to Companies House where required, including cases where several accounting periods need attention. We can look at your Companies House records, confirm what remains outstanding, explain what information we need and deal with the filing process on your behalf, subject to your review and authorisation. Where a company has also received a compliance warning from Companies House, we can discuss the position and, depending on the circumstances, whether separate legal or restoration advice may be more appropriate.
