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. I'm very pleased with the service I've received and truly appreciate his support. If you need help with your accounts or taxes, I would highly recommend Imran.

 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 Overdue Company Accounts Mean for Your Limited Company

Company accounts are generally required to be delivered to Companies House by the applicable statutory deadline for the company’s accounting reference period. When that date passes and the required accounts have not been delivered, the accounts are overdue. This is a filing position rather than an automatic change in company status, and it applies whether or not the company has been trading, has made a profit or has remained dormant. Filing deadlines are not identical for every company; the date that applies depends on factors such as the accounting reference date, whether these are first accounts for the company and the company’s particular circumstances. The longer accounts remain outstanding, the more the position can develop, and Companies House may take action in line with its own procedures. Preparing and delivering the outstanding accounts is normally the key step in bringing the filing position up to date, although a company may also need to address separate obligations such as confirmation statements or Corporation Tax matters. Because requirements and outcomes vary from one company to another, we review the circumstances of each company in Workington before advising on the most appropriate way forward.

─── 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 when company accounts are overdue?

It means the statutory deadline for delivering a set of accounts to Companies House has passed and those accounts have not been filed. It does not by itself change the company's status on the register, and it does not remove the obligation to file. It simply confirms that a required filing remains outstanding.

Why do company accounts become overdue?

The reasons vary. Common ones include records not being passed to an accountant in time, a change of accountant partway through the year, a director assuming nothing needs filing because the company has been quiet, or uncertainty about which accounting period is due. Whatever the cause, the filing obligation itself does not disappear, so it is worth establishing exactly which periods remain outstanding.

Do I still need to file accounts after the deadline has passed?

Yes. Accounts that have missed the deadline generally still have to be prepared and delivered to Companies House where required. Filing late and filing nothing are treated differently, and bringing the position up to date is usually the sensible first step. The preparation requirements themselves depend on the company's size, structure and applicable reporting framework.

Can a dormant company have overdue company accounts?

It can. Dormancy and overdue filing are separate matters. A company may have had no trading activity and still be required to file annual accounts, so the relevant question is whether the accounts were delivered by the applicable deadline. If they were not, the filing is overdue regardless of how little activity took place.

Will Companies House impose a late-filing penalty, and does paying it remove the need to file?

Companies House can impose a late-filing penalty when accounts are delivered after the applicable deadline, and the amount can depend on how late the filing is and the company's circumstances. Paying a penalty is a separate matter from the filing requirement itself; it does not remove or replace the obligation to prepare and deliver the outstanding accounts. Where a penalty appeal may be possible, eligibility depends on the circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

What if more than one accounting period is outstanding?

Where several periods are outstanding, each one generally needs to be addressed, so more than one set of accounts may have to be prepared and filed. It is not normally possible to treat a single filing as resolving every outstanding period. We can review the position, confirm which periods are affected and work through them in a sensible order.

Are CT600 Corporation Tax Returns and confirmation statements dealt with separately?

Yes. Statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required, while a CT600 Corporation Tax Return is submitted to HMRC where applicable, and a confirmation statement goes to Companies House separately from the accounts. Filing overdue accounts does not automatically satisfy those other obligations, so a company may need to deal with each of them individually depending on its circumstances.

Can Micro Entity Accounts help me file overdue accounts in Workington?

We can assist companies and directors in Workington with preparing overdue accounts, reviewing which periods remain outstanding and supporting the Companies House filing process. We will explain what information is needed for each period, keep you updated as the work progresses and ask for your review and authorisation before anything is submitted. We cannot guarantee acceptance or the outcome of any penalty matter, but we can help you approach the filing position in an organised way.
