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 Eastleigh Hampshire?

Under the relevant accounting rules, a company can be considered dormant for Companies House purposes if it has had no significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. This can include companies that have stopped trading, have not yet started trading, or are being held for future activity, but dormancy is not determined simply by having no income. Even where a company meets the dormancy test, it is still likely to need to prepare and file dormant company accounts with Companies House unless a specific exemption applies. It may also need to submit a confirmation statement to keep the company record up to date. Dormancy for Companies House is distinct from dormancy for HMRC Corporation Tax purposes, and being dormant for one does not mean you are automatically dormant for the other. At Micro Entity Accounts, we can look at your circumstances and let you know whether dormant company accounts are the correct approach for your company in Eastleigh Hampshire.

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 annual accounts prepared for a limited company that is dormant for Companies House purposes during the relevant period. They are needed when the company has no significant accounting transactions and meets the applicable conditions for dormancy. Being dormant does not remove your filing obligations — accounts may still need to be prepared and submitted to Companies House in the approved format.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. Dormant company accounts are generally required to be delivered to Companies House every year unless a specific exemption applies. Dormancy may simplify the accounts, but it does not mean you can avoid filing them. It is always worth checking whether your company falls within the applicable rules.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

In some cases, a dormant company may also qualify for the micro-entity accounting framework, but dormancy and micro-entity eligibility are separate matters. A company must meet the relevant size criteria to use micro-entity accounts. If both sets of conditions are met, the accounts can be prepared using the appropriate simplified framework. We can tell you whether your company qualifies and prepare accounts to match its legal requirements.

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

Companies House and HMRC apply separate tests. A company can be dormant for Companies House purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions in the financial year. HMRC uses its own Corporation Tax dormancy definition, which looks at whether the company has received income or incurred charges for Corporation Tax purposes. Filing dormant company accounts with Companies House does not automatically update HMRC, and the company may still need to notify HMRC or submit returns depending on its position. We can review your circumstances and explain what applies to your company.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes. A confirmation statement is filed separately from the annual accounts. Even if your company is dormant, Companies House still expects the company's information to be kept up to date. Dormant company accounts do not replace the confirmation statement, and filing one does not mean you can ignore the other. We can assist with both requirements.

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

It depends on whether HMRC regards the company as dormant for Corporation Tax purposes. If it does, and HMRC has confirmed that no further returns are required, the company may not need to file CT600 returns for later periods. You must tell HMRC about the company's dormant status rather than assuming it is automatic. We can help you understand the rules and make sure you take the right steps.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

Companies House can charge late-filing penalties if required accounts are not delivered by the company's filing deadline. Even a dormant company is not automatically protected from penalties, and filing late does not remove the duty to file the accounts. The amount of any penalty depends on how late the accounts are and other circumstances. If you have missed a filing date, the best course is to bring the accounts up to date without delay. We can prepare the outstanding dormant company accounts for your company in Eastleigh Hampshire.

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

Yes. We regularly help company directors deal with overdue dormant company accounts and related filings. We can review your company's filing history, prepare the accounts where the rules allow and provide guidance on confirmation statement requirements. While we cannot guarantee that any penalty will be waived, we can help you resolve outstanding filings and get back to a compliant position.
