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 a Company File Dormant Company Accounts in Belmont?

A company may be considered dormant for Companies House purposes when it has no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. This can include companies that have not yet started trading, have stopped trading, or are held for future use. However, dormancy depends on the specific circumstances and the applicable rules. Being dormant for Companies House purposes does not automatically remove the requirement to file annual accounts or submit a confirmation statement. It is also different from being dormant for Corporation Tax purposes with HMRC, which depends on the company’s own tax position. If you are unsure whether your company qualifies for dormant company accounts in Belmont, our team can review your situation and advise on the correct approach.

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.

Dormant 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 are dormant company accounts?

Dormant company accounts are the statutory accounts prepared for a company that is dormant for accounting purposes. They are filed with Companies House and must meet the applicable legal requirements. A dormant company is not exempt from filing simply because it has no trading activity. Even if there have been no significant transactions, the required accounts must still be prepared and submitted by the statutory deadline unless a specific exemption applies.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes generally still needs to file annual accounts with Companies House. There are some exemptions for companies that qualify as audit-exempt or that meet certain criteria, but these depend on the company's circumstances. Being dormant does not mean you can ignore your filing obligations. Our accountants can help you prepare and file the correct accounts for your dormant company in Belmont.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also qualify as micro-entities under UK company law. If they meet the eligibility criteria, they can prepare and file accounts using the micro-entity reporting framework, which is simplified. However, dormancy and micro-entity status are not the same thing, and not every dormant company will automatically qualify. We can assess your company's eligibility before deciding the most appropriate reporting framework.

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

Companies House and HMRC have different definitions and rules for dormancy. A company may be dormant for Companies House purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions, but it may still be active for Corporation Tax if it has income or other chargeable activity. Conversely, a company dormant for HMRC purposes may still need to file accounts with Companies House. Filing accounts with Companies House does not automatically inform HMRC that your company is dormant for tax purposes. You need to consider both sets of obligations separately.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes, a dormant company is normally still required to submit a confirmation statement to Companies House at least once a year. The confirmation statement is separate from dormant company accounts and confirms that the company's registered information is up to date. It is not replaced by filing annual accounts. We can help you manage both filing requirements so your company remains compliant.

Does a dormant company need to submit a Corporation Tax Return?

It depends on the company's Corporation Tax position. A company that is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes may need to notify HMRC and, once HMRC has confirmed that no further returns are required, may stop submitting CT600 Corporation Tax Returns. However, simply preparing dormant company accounts for Companies House does not automatically stop your Corporation Tax obligations. HMRC's rules are separate, and we can assist you in understanding what applies to your company.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If a dormant company's accounts are filed late with Companies House, the company can still incur late-filing penalties. Dormant status does not protect a company from these consequences. The amount of any penalty depends on how late the accounts are submitted. If accounts have already been filed late, it is important to bring filings up to date as soon as possible. In some circumstances, you may be able to appeal a penalty, but this depends on the applicable Companies House rules and the reasons for the delay.

Can you help bring overdue dormant company accounts up to date?

Yes. If your company has missed its filing deadline, we can help prepare any outstanding dormant company accounts and file them as quickly as possible. We will also advise on confirmation statement requirements and any Corporation Tax matters that may need attention. Late filing penalties can be a concern, but our priority is to help you get back into compliance and avoid further obligations being missed.
