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 Ludlow?

A company may be able to file dormant company accounts if it has not had significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. This might apply to companies that have not yet started trading, have stopped trading, or are being held for future use. However, dormancy depends on the specific circumstances and the relevant tests applied by Companies House. Being dormant for accounting purposes does not necessarily mean the company has no filing obligations. It will generally still need to file annual accounts unless an exemption applies, and it remains on the Companies House register until dissolved. Dormancy for Companies House purposes is also separate from dormancy for HMRC and Corporation Tax purposes. If your company is dormant for Corporation Tax, different rules may apply and you may need to notify HMRC separately.

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.

What are dormant company accounts?

Dormant company accounts are annual accounts prepared for a company that is dormant for Companies House accounting purposes. This generally means the company had no significant accounting transactions in the accounting period. Dormant accounts are still submitted to Companies House where filing is required, and they need to satisfy the Companies House rules for the company's size and type. A company does not automatically stop being a company just because it is dormant.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts with Companies House?

In most cases, yes. Unless a specific exemption applies, a dormant company generally has to file annual accounts with Companies House each year. Being dormant does not remove that obligation. The accounts may be simpler, but they must still meet Companies House requirements. If the company is also dormant for micro-entity purposes, a simplified form might be used, but eligibility depends on the circumstances.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies can use the micro-entity reporting framework if they also qualify as a micro-entity under the Companies Act. But dormancy and micro-entity status are different tests. A company must meet the relevant criteria, including size thresholds and the type of company, before it can prepare micro-entity accounts. We can help you determine what applies to your company.

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

Companies House dormancy concerns whether the company had significant accounting transactions for the accounts filing. HMRC dormancy for Corporation Tax is a separate question. A company may be dormant for Companies House, but still need to file Corporation Tax returns if HMRC requires them. Alternatively, a company that is dormant for Corporation Tax may be able to tell HMRC and stop filing returns, but HMRC must confirm this. The two rules are not the same.

Does a dormant company need to submit a confirmation statement?

Yes, except in limited situations. The confirmation statement is separate from dormant company accounts and is used to confirm that Companies House has up-to-date information about directors, shareholders and registered office. Most dormant companies still need to file one at least once a year. Filing dormant accounts does not replace the confirmation statement.

Does a dormant company need to file Corporation Tax returns?

That depends on the company's HMRC position. Dormant company accounts filed with Companies House do not automatically go to HMRC or remove any Corporation Tax return duty. If HMRC has a CT600 obligation, it will need to be met. If the company is dormant for Corporation Tax and HMRC has agreed that a return is no longer due, the company may not need to file one. We recommend speaking to an accountant about your specific situation.

What information do we need to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant accounts, we usually need details of any transactions during the accounting period, company name and registration number, officers, and the registered office. We also need to confirm that the company has no significant accounting transactions and that it meets the relevant dormant test. If there has been any activity, we may need more information to decide whether the company is genuinely dormant.
