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.

When Can an Accrington Company File Dormant Company Accounts?

A company is generally considered dormant for Companies House purposes if it has had no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. This can apply to a company that has not yet started trading, has stopped trading, or is retained for future use. However, a company does not become dormant simply because it has no sales or no current activity. Dormancy depends on the company’s specific circumstances and the applicable accounting and Companies House rules. Importantly, being dormant for Companies House does not necessarily mean the company is dormant for HMRC Corporation Tax purposes, and it does not automatically remove the requirement to file annual accounts or submit a confirmation statement when one is due.

A Company May Be Dormant If:

It has been incorporated but has not started trading.

Trading has stopped and the company has no relevant ongoing activity.

Its only transactions are those that Companies House disregards when determining dormancy.

It is being retained for a future business purpose, subject to its actual activities and transactions.

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 are dormant company accounts?

Dormant company accounts are annual accounts prepared for a company that is dormant for accounting purposes. They are filed with Companies House where required and must meet the applicable reporting requirements. Even a dormant company generally still needs to file accounts unless a specific exemption applies.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. A dormant company is usually still required to deliver annual accounts to Companies House each year. The form and content of those accounts depend on the company's status and eligibility for any simplified reporting framework. Dormancy does not mean that filing obligations disappear.

What is the difference between being dormant for Companies House and dormant for HMRC?

Companies House and HMRC use different tests for dormancy. A company may be dormant for Companies House purposes because it has no significant accounting transactions, but still be required to deal with HMRC if it is not recognised as dormant for Corporation Tax. Similarly, HMRC dormancy depends on the company's Corporation Tax position. It is important to consider both sets of rules.

Does a dormant company need to submit a confirmation statement?

Yes, unless the company is exempt. A confirmation statement is separate from dormant company accounts and is filed with Companies House to confirm that the company's registered information is up to date. Most dormant companies must still file a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months.

Does a dormant company have to file a Corporation Tax Return?

Not necessarily, but it depends on HMRC's rules. If a company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes and has notified HMRC appropriately, it may be excused from filing further CT600 Corporation Tax Returns. However, this is not automatic, and the company must confirm its position with HMRC.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

Dormant companies can still receive late-filing penalties from Companies House if their annual accounts are not delivered by the applicable deadline. The penalty amount depends on how late the accounts are and when the filing obligation arose. Late filing also means the accounts still need to be submitted as soon as possible.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

We generally need confirmation of the company's name, registered number, accounting period, and details of any significant transactions. We also need to know whether the company is dormant for Companies House and, where relevant, for HMRC purposes. We can review your circumstances and advise on the information required.

Can you help prepare accounts for a company that has never traded?

Yes. We regularly support companies that have not yet started trading and are classified as dormant. We can prepare and file the necessary dormant company accounts and help you understand any ongoing obligations to Companies House and HMRC, including confirmation statements and Corporation Tax notifications where applicable.
