 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 Are Overdue Company Accounts, and Why Should They Be Dealt With Promptly?

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 factors such as the company’s accounting reference period, whether it is filing its first set of accounts, and its own circumstances. Once the deadline has passed, the filing obligation does not disappear: the accounts remain outstanding until they are properly prepared and delivered, and the directors remain responsible for bringing the position up to date. Accounts can fall behind for many reasons — incomplete bookkeeping records, a change of accountant, illness, a quiet trading period, or simply losing track of a date — and the practical response is the same in each case. Establish which accounting periods are outstanding, prepare the accounts on the correct basis, and file them. The longer accounts remain overdue, the more scope there may be for late-filing penalties and for Companies House to take an interest in the company’s filing record, so it is generally better to act early rather than wait. It is also worth remembering that overdue accounts are a separate matter from a confirmation statement, and separate again from any Corporation Tax Return due to HMRC. Micro Entity Accounts can review what is outstanding for companies in Wishaw and set out the steps needed to resolve it.

─── 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.

What counts as overdue company accounts?

Company accounts become 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 itself is not the same for every company — it depends on factors such as the accounting reference period, whether it is a first set of accounts, and the company's particular circumstances. The important point is that once a deadline has passed, the accounts remain outstanding until they are properly prepared and filed, whether or not the company has been trading. Overdue Company Accounts Filing is the work of dealing with those outstanding periods and bringing the company's Companies House record back up to date.

What usually causes company accounts to become overdue?

There is rarely one single reason. Common causes include incomplete bookkeeping records, a change of accountant partway through the year, illness or absence of the person who held the paperwork, a period of reduced activity, or a filing date that was simply missed. Sometimes a company has not traded and the directors have assumed, incorrectly, that no filing is required. Whatever the cause, the position is usually easier to resolve once someone has confirmed exactly which accounting periods are outstanding and what information is available for each of them.

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

Yes. Where accounts were due to be delivered to Companies House, that obligation does not fall away because the deadline has passed. The accounts still need to be prepared and filed, and the appropriate reporting framework must be considered first — a company may originally have been required to prepare micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another form of statutory accounts, depending on its size, legal structure and eligibility. Filing overdue accounts does not automatically cancel any late-filing penalty, and it does not by itself resolve other obligations such as a confirmation statement or a Corporation Tax Return due to HMRC.

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 at Companies House, and where the applicable deadline passed without the accounts being delivered, those accounts are overdue. Dormant status does not remove the requirement to file, and it does not make an outstanding filing go away. The accounts for a dormant period may be simpler to prepare, but the filing requirement still has to be considered on the company's own facts.

Can Companies House impose a late-filing penalty for accounts filed late?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the penalty position depends on the circumstances. Penalty amounts are not the same in every case, and the longer accounts remain outstanding, the more serious the consequences may become. Any penalty is assessed separately from the filing itself. If you believe a penalty has been issued incorrectly, eligibility to appeal depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules, and we can review the position with you.

If the company pays a late-filing penalty, does that settle the filing requirement?

No. The requirement to file the outstanding accounts and any late-filing penalty are separate matters. Paying a penalty does not remove the obligation to prepare and deliver the accounts, and filing the accounts does not automatically cancel the penalty. Directors should treat both as items that need to be addressed, and it is also sensible to check whether any other Companies House or HMRC filings are behind at the same time.

What happens if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Where several accounting periods are overdue, each one generally has to be dealt with separately, and more than one set of accounts may need to be prepared and filed. The order in which they are completed matters, because later periods often build on the figures and position established in earlier ones. It is usually best to have the full picture reviewed first — how many periods are outstanding, what records exist for each, and whether any other filings are also behind — before preparation begins.

Are CT600 Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements separate from the accounts filed at Companies House?

Yes, they are separate compliance matters. Statutory accounts are filed with Companies House where required. A CT600 Corporation Tax Return is submitted to HMRC where applicable, and a confirmation statement is submitted to Companies House and is not the same thing as annual accounts. Submitting overdue accounts to Companies House does not automatically satisfy Corporation Tax obligations, and filing accounts does not replace a confirmation statement. Where a company is behind on several fronts, each item needs to be considered and dealt with in its own right.
