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 You File Dormant Company Accounts in East Mayfield?

A company may be able to file dormant company accounts when it has not had any significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. This can apply to companies that have not yet started trading, have stopped trading, are being kept for future use or are dormant holding companies. However, dormancy is not determined simply because the company has no sales or no current activity. It depends on the company’s particular circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules. Being dormant for Companies House purposes does not automatically remove the need to file annual accounts, and a dormant company may still need to submit a confirmation statement. In addition, HMRC operates its own separate test for Corporation Tax dormancy, so you cannot assume that Companies House dormancy means HMRC will stop expecting a return. We can review your situation and tell you which dormant-company filing obligations apply.

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 annual accounts that a company prepares and sends to Companies House for a reporting period when the company has been dormant for accounting purposes. They confirm that the company has had no significant accounting transactions during that period. Preparing dormant company accounts is still part of your filing responsibilities; it does not mean you are excused from filing accounts altogether.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, generally. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes is usually still required to file annual accounts unless a specific exemption applies. Dormant status does not remove the need to send accounts to Companies House, and the company also remains on the register with ongoing record-keeping duties. We can prepare and file the right dormant accounts for your company so that you stay compliant.

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

Companies House and HMRC use different tests for dormancy. A company may be dormant under Companies House rules because it has no significant accounting transactions, but HMRC might still regard it as within the Corporation Tax regime, or vice versa. Filing dormant company accounts with Companies House does not automatically tell HMRC that the company is dormant for Corporation Tax. You may need to notify HMRC separately, and depending on your circumstances HMRC may confirm that no further Corporation Tax Returns are needed. We can help you understand which obligations apply to your company.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also qualify as micro-entities and may use the micro-entity reporting framework. However, dormancy and micro-entity status are separate tests. A dormant company does not automatically qualify as a micro-entity, and not all micro-entities are dormant. We will look at your company's size, legal structure and circumstances before deciding which reporting framework is appropriate.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes, in almost all cases. A confirmation statement is a separate filing with Companies House that updates details such as directors, shareholders and the registered office. Filing dormant company accounts does not replace the confirmation statement. Even a dormant company generally needs to submit one every year so that Companies House has up-to-date information about the company.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If your company is required to file accounts and the deadline is missed, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty. Dormant status does not automatically protect a company from this. The amount of the penalty can vary depending on how late the filing is. Filing the overdue accounts as soon as possible is important, although it does not automatically remove a penalty already issued. In some circumstances an appeal may be possible, but this depends on the facts and Companies House rules. We can help you file outstanding dormant company accounts and discuss what to do next.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts we usually need the company number, registered office, director and shareholder details, and the period covered by the accounts. We also need confirmation that there were no significant accounting transactions during that period. If HMRC treatment is relevant, we need to know whether the company has been notified as dormant for Corporation Tax. The quickest way to get started is to share your company details with us; we will then handle the preparation and filing with Companies House.
