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 Acting On

Company accounts become overdue when the statutory filing deadline for a set of accounts has passed and those accounts have not yet been delivered to Companies House. The applicable deadline is not identical for every company — it depends on factors such as the company’s accounting reference date, whether the accounts in question are the company’s first set or a later set, and the wider circumstances of the company. What matters is whether the accounts have actually been filed, because a company that has stopped trading, generated no income during the period, or is dormant may still have a filing obligation to meet. For directors in Woodford Green, the practical advice is usually the same: deal with the outstanding accounts rather than leave them sitting on the file. The longer a set of accounts remains undelivered, the greater the scope for late-filing penalties to build up, for Companies House records to fall out of step with reality, and for related compliance matters — such as a confirmation statement or Corporation Tax obligations — to be left unresolved. Gaps in the public record can also make life harder when a company applies for finance, seeks investment, or is being sold, because anyone reviewing the company’s history will see the missing periods. The accounts that need preparing are not the same in every case either: depending on the company’s size, reporting framework and eligibility, the outstanding period may call for micro-entity accounts, small-company accounts or another applicable form of statutory accounts. Where more than one accounting period is outstanding, each period generally has to be prepared and filed separately, and no single approach fits every company.

─── 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.

Need Help with Overdue Company Accounts Filing in Woodford Green? Our Accountants Can Prepare and File What Is Outstanding

An overdue filing is rarely something directors plan for, and it can sit uncomfortably at the back of your mind for months. Micro Entity Accounts works with company directors who simply need the outstanding accounts prepared correctly and delivered to Companies House, and we can review your filing position to establish exactly which periods remain outstanding. From there, we prepare the statutory accounts for each period, talk you through what needs your review and approval before submission, and handle the Companies House filing itself. Where separate matters such as Corporation Tax Returns or a confirmation statement also need attention, we will flag these so nothing is overlooked. Get in touch and we will tell you honestly what is involved and what happens next.

─── 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 exactly are overdue company accounts?

Overdue company accounts are accounts whose statutory filing deadline has already passed without the accounts being delivered to Companies House. Being overdue is a filing position rather than a statement about the company's health or its registration — the company normally remains on the register. The obligation to prepare and deliver the accounts continues, and in most cases the earlier the position is brought up to date, the more straightforward it tends to be. The deadline that applied to your company depends on its accounting reference period and its particular circumstances.

Why do company accounts end up overdue?

There is rarely a single reason. Common causes include a director being unaware of the deadline, incomplete bookkeeping records, an accounting reference date that has been changed, a change of accountant part way through the year, a period of illness or personal difficulty, or simply an assumption that a dormant or quiet period means nothing needs to be filed. Whatever the cause, the filing requirement itself does not disappear, and the position is usually easier to resolve when it is reviewed and addressed directly.

Can a dormant company have overdue accounts?

Yes. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate issues. A dormant company still has Companies House filing obligations in most circumstances, so if the required accounts were not delivered by the applicable deadline, they can be overdue. Being dormant does not automatically exempt a company from filing annual accounts, and the position depends on the company's circumstances and the relevant requirements.

What happens if accounts are filed late, and does paying a penalty remove the requirement to file?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the level of penalty can increase the longer the accounts remain outstanding. Penalty amounts and how they apply are not the same for every company, so the position depends on the circumstances. Paying a penalty does not cancel the requirement to file the outstanding accounts — these are separate matters. It is also worth remembering that any late-filing penalty appeal depends on eligibility and the applicable Companies House rules, and an accountant cannot simply arrange for a penalty to be reduced, removed or cancelled.

What if we have more than one accounting period outstanding?

Where several periods are outstanding, each one generally needs to be prepared and filed separately, and dealing with one period does not automatically clear the others. The accounts are usually approached in order, starting with the earliest outstanding period, since later figures often depend on earlier ones. Alongside the Companies House filings, there may be separate matters to address, such as overdue Corporation Tax Returns or CT600 submissions to HMRC, or an outstanding confirmation statement. We can review the full position and set out what needs to be done.

Can overdue accounts affect our company's status or lead to strike-off action?

Failing to meet filing obligations does not automatically mean a company will be dissolved 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. Filing the outstanding accounts does not guarantee that any action already under way will be stopped or reversed. If your company has received a strike-off notice, or has already been dissolved, the situation usually needs separate advice — restoration or legal advice rather than a routine overdue accounts filing.

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

Some companies may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, and where they do, overdue accounts can be prepared on that basis. Not every company qualifies, though, and eligibility must be considered before the reporting framework is decided. Where it applies, FRS 105 is the financial reporting standard used by qualifying entities adopting the micro-entity accounting framework. The right approach depends on the company's legal structure, size, accounting period and circumstances, so we review these before preparing anything.

How can Micro Entity Accounts help with Overdue Company Accounts Filing in Woodford Green?
