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?

A company may be considered dormant for Companies House accounting purposes if it has had no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. This can apply to companies that have not yet started trading, have stopped trading, or are being held for future use. However, dormancy is not simply about having no sales or no current activity. Whether a company meets the relevant dormancy conditions depends on its specific circumstances and the applicable rules. Even where a company qualifies as dormant, it may still need to file annual accounts with Companies House and submit a confirmation statement when required. It is also important to remember that being dormant for Companies House purposes is separate from being dormant for HMRC Corporation Tax purposes. HMRC’s treatment depends on the company’s own Corporation Tax position. Before deciding whether dormant accounts are appropriate, it is worth reviewing the company’s situation with an accountant who understands these requirements.

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

What are dormant company accounts?

Dormant company accounts are the statutory accounts prepared for a company that is dormant for accounting purposes under the applicable Companies House rules. They are typically simplified accounts that show no significant transactions, but they must still meet the required format. Where the accounts need to be filed, they are delivered to Companies House as part of the company’s annual reporting obligations.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Generally, yes. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes is not automatically exempt from filing annual accounts. Most dormant companies still need to deliver the required accounts to Companies House each year, unless a specific exemption applies to their particular circumstances. An accountant can confirm whether an exemption is available.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may qualify as micro-entities and may therefore be able to use the applicable micro-entity reporting framework. Dormancy and micro-entity status are separate matters, and eligibility depends on the company’s size, structure and financial year. Not every dormant company automatically qualifies, so it is sensible to check the conditions before choosing the reporting framework.

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

Companies House and HMRC treat dormancy differently. A company can be dormant for Companies House purposes because it has had no significant accounting transactions, but HMRC may still require Corporation Tax filings unless the company has notified HMRC and received confirmation that a return is no longer needed. Filing dormant company accounts with Companies House does not automatically inform HMRC.

Does a dormant company still need to submit a confirmation statement?

Yes, in most cases. A confirmation statement is a separate filing with Companies House that keeps the company’s registered information up to date. Submitting dormant company accounts does not replace the need for a confirmation statement, and it must still be completed when it falls due.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If required accounts are filed after the applicable Companies House deadline, the company may receive a late-filing penalty. Dormant status does not protect a company from this consequence. If accounts are already overdue, the best option is usually to file them as soon as possible. Whether a penalty appeal is possible depends on the circumstances and Companies House rules.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, your accountant will generally need the company’s details, such as its registered number, along with confirmation of its dormant status and any permitted transactions such as share capital movements. If there have been no significant accounting transactions, the accounts will typically be straightforward, but accurate information is still required to ensure the correct filing position.
