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.

 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 on Them

Company accounts become overdue when the applicable statutory filing deadline has passed and the required accounts have not been delivered to Companies House. That deadline is not the same for every company — it depends on the company’s accounting reference period, whether it is filing for a first period of account and its own particular circumstances — so the sensible starting point is to establish the position for each period that remains outstanding. Once accounts are overdue, the filing obligation generally remains, and Companies House may take a late-filing penalty into account where accounts are delivered after the deadline. The same applies where a company has been dormant or has not traded: dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. Directors in Woking who find themselves with outstanding accounts may also need to deal with related but distinct matters, such as confirmation statements and Corporation Tax Returns submitted to HMRC, which are not resolved by filing statutory accounts at Companies House. Bringing overdue accounts up to date usually makes the company’s position clearer, even where the available records are incomplete.

─── 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 are overdue when the filing deadline applying to a set of statutory accounts has passed and those accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. That deadline depends on the company's accounting reference period and its own circumstances rather than being a single date that applies to every company. Once the deadline has passed, the accounts remain outstanding until they are properly prepared and delivered as required.

Why do company accounts become overdue?

There are several common reasons. Bookkeeping may have fallen behind, a director may have been unsure which reporting framework applies, the company may have changed accountant, or there may have been an assumption that nothing needed to be filed because the company was quiet. Sometimes the deadline was simply missed. In most cases the underlying position can be untangled once the records and the company's filing history have been reviewed.

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

In most cases the obligation does not disappear because the deadline has passed. Where a company remains registered and statutory accounts are required, those accounts generally still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House. The appropriate form of accounts — which may be micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another applicable format, depending on the circumstances — should be confirmed before preparation begins.

Can a dormant company have overdue company accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate matters. A dormant company can still have annual accounts filing obligations at Companies House, and if the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, they can become overdue in the same way as any other company's. Whether a company meets the conditions to file dormant company accounts depends on its individual circumstances.

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

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty where accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline. Whether a penalty applies, and how it is calculated, depends on factors such as the length of the delay, the company's filing history and the rules in force at the time. Penalty amounts are set by Companies House under its own framework, and an accountant cannot determine or promise the outcome in advance.

If a penalty is paid, does that remove the requirement to file the accounts?

No. Paying a late-filing penalty and filing the outstanding accounts are two separate matters. The penalty relates to the delay in delivery, while the filing obligation relates to the accounts themselves. Settling a penalty does not cancel the need to prepare and deliver the required statutory accounts to Companies House.

What happens if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Each outstanding period generally needs to be addressed on its own terms, which usually means preparing a separate set of accounts for every accounting period that has not been filed and working through them in order. Filing one period does not automatically resolve the others. Companies in this position may also have separate confirmation statement and Corporation Tax matters, including CT600 returns submitted to HMRC, which are dealt with differently from statutory accounts.

Could overdue accounts affect my company's status with Companies House?

Overdue accounts do not, by themselves, mean a company is suspended or removed from the register. However, Companies House may take action against companies that do not meet their filing obligations, and persistent non-compliance can increase the risk of compulsory strike-off action. Delivering the outstanding accounts may help to address the underlying issue, but it does not guarantee that any action already begun will be stopped or reversed. Where a strike-off notice has been received, or the company has already been dissolved, the matter usually calls for separate restoration or legal advice rather than a straightforward late filing.
