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.

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 You File Dormant Company Accounts in Dover?

A company may be able to prepare dormant company accounts when it has had no significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. However, dormancy is not simply about having no sales or income. For Companies House purposes, a company might be dormant if it is not carrying on a business or other activity that generates significant accounting transactions. This could include companies that have not yet started trading, have stopped trading, or are being retained for future use. Crucially, being dormant for Companies House purposes does not remove the need to file annual accounts or submit a confirmation statement where required. Dormancy for Corporation Tax is a separate matter, and HMRC’s expectations depend on the company’s individual circumstances. We can help you determine the appropriate treatment and prepare the correct filings.

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 statutory accounts prepared for a company that is considered dormant for accounting purposes. They must meet the applicable Companies House requirements and are filed alongside the company's annual return or confirmation statement. Even though the company may have had no significant transactions, the accounts still confirm that the company satisfies the statutory definition of dormancy and typically reflect the company's share capital position.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes is not automatically exempt from filing annual accounts. Unless a specific exemption applies, dormant company accounts must still be prepared and filed with Companies House each year. A dormant company also generally needs to keep its registered details up to date and submit a confirmation statement when required. Our team can review your position and confirm exactly which filings apply to your company.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework if they meet the relevant size and eligibility conditions. Micro-entity accounts are a simplified form of accounts available to qualifying companies. Dormancy and micro-entity status are separate concepts, so it is important to check the company's legal structure, turnover, balance sheet total and number of employees before deciding which reporting framework applies. We can advise on whether a dormant company is eligible to use the micro-entity regime or whether different accounts are needed.

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

Companies House and HMRC treat dormancy differently at times. For Companies House, a company can be dormant if it has had no significant accounting transactions. For Corporation Tax purposes, HMRC has its own rules and a company may need to notify HMRC if it wishes to be treated as dormant. Being dormant for Companies House does not automatically mean a company is dormant for Corporation Tax, and filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not inform HMRC. We can explain the difference and help you manage both sets of obligations correctly.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Generally, yes. A confirmation statement is a separate filing required by Companies House, and it is not replaced by filing dormant company accounts. Even if your company is dormant, you will usually need to file a confirmation statement every 12 months to confirm that the company's registered details, such as its directors, registered office and shareholders, are correct. We can prepare and file the confirmation statement on your behalf alongside your dormant accounts.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, we normally need the company's details, including its registered number, registered office address, statement of share capital and any recent changes. Because a truly dormant company has no significant accounting transactions, there is usually little financial information required. However, we still need to confirm the company's status and any transactions that may have occurred, such as the issue of shares, so that the accounts meet Companies House requirements.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If a dormant company fails to file its annual accounts with Companies House by the statutory deadline, it may receive a late-filing penalty. Dormant status does not automatically protect a company from these consequences, and the amount of the penalty can vary depending on how late the accounts are filed. Paying a penalty does not remove the obligation to file the outstanding accounts. If you have missed a filing date, we can help you bring your filings up to date and discuss whether an appeal may be appropriate based on the circumstances.
