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 Driffield?

A company can file dormant company accounts when it has no significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. This often applies to companies that have not yet started trading, have stopped trading, are being held for future use, or are acting as a holding company with no relevant activity. However, dormancy is not simply about having no sales or no employees. It depends on the specific rules set by Companies House and, separately, HMRC for Corporation Tax purposes. Being dormant for one purpose does not automatically mean the same treatment applies for the other. Even where a company qualifies as dormant, it may still need to file annual accounts and submit a confirmation statement unless a specific exemption applies. We will review your company’s circumstances and confirm whether dormant company accounts are the right route for you.

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 annual accounts prepared for a company that qualifies as dormant for Companies House purposes. They are filed with Companies House and must meet the applicable accounting requirements. Dormant does not mean a company has no filing obligations; it means the company has had no significant accounting transactions in the period and meets the relevant definition of dormancy. We can help you prepare and file these accounts correctly.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

In most cases, yes. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes usually still needs to file annual accounts, unless a specific exemption applies. Dormant status does not remove the obligation to file. The type of accounts required may be simpler, but they still need to be prepared and delivered to Companies House by the relevant deadline. We can assist you in meeting this obligation.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also qualify as micro-entities, depending on their size, legal structure and accounting period. If eligible, they can use the micro-entity reporting framework, which offers a simplified format. However, dormancy and micro-entity status are separate concepts, and not every dormant company qualifies. We will assess your company's eligibility before recommending the appropriate reporting framework.

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

Companies House and HMRC have different rules for dormancy. A company may be dormant for Companies House purposes because it has no significant accounting transactions, but HMRC may still expect Corporation Tax returns unless the company has been formally notified and HMRC has confirmed that a return is not needed. Filing dormant company accounts with Companies House does not automatically tell HMRC that the company is dormant. It is important to keep both obligations in mind.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes, typically. A confirmation statement is a separate requirement from dormant company accounts. Dormant companies usually still need to send a confirmation statement to Companies House each year to confirm their registered details, such as directors, shareholders and registered office address. Filing dormant accounts does not replace the confirmation statement, and both are needed to maintain compliance.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If the required dormant company accounts are not filed by the applicable Companies House deadline, the company may receive a late-filing penalty. Dormant status does not automatically protect a company from penalties. The amount of any penalty depends on the circumstances, and paying a penalty does not remove the need to file the overdue accounts. If you have missed a deadline, we can discuss your situation and help you bring your filings up to date. We cannot guarantee that penalties will be reduced or removed, but we can assist with preparing the outstanding accounts.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, we generally need details of the company, including the registered number, the accounting period, and confirmation of any transactions during the period. If the company has had no significant transactions, the accounts are straightforward, but they must still be prepared correctly and include the required statements. We can guide you through what is needed and handle the preparation on your behalf.

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

Yes. If a company has missed previous filing deadlines, we can help prepare and file the outstanding dormant company accounts with Companies House. We understand that directors may feel uncertain about what to do, and we can review your filing history and work through the process step by step. However, we cannot guarantee that Companies House will accept the accounts automatically or that late-filing penalties will be waived. Our aim is to help you restore compliance as smoothly as possible.
