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.

The work was completed promptly, my tax return was successfully filed, and I received a refund of overpaid tax. I found the cooperation efficient and helpful. Special thanks to Muhammad Saifullah for his assistance.

 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?

A company may be considered dormant for Companies House purposes when it has no significant accounting transactions during the period. This often includes companies that have not yet started trading, have stopped trading, or are retained as holding companies. However, dormancy is not simply the absence of sales or trading activity; it depends on the relevant accounting and Companies House rules. Even when a company is dormant, it normally still needs to file annual accounts with Companies House and may need to submit a confirmation statement. In addition, being dormant for Companies House is not the same as being dormant for Corporation Tax. A company may need to notify HMRC separately and its Corporation Tax obligations depend on its own circumstances. We review each situation individually to help you understand which 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

What are dormant company accounts?

Dormant company accounts are annual accounts prepared for a company that is dormant in accordance with the applicable Companies Act requirements. They summarise the company's financial position and typically include a balance sheet and any required notes. Dormant accounts must still meet the statutory format and filing requirements. The precise obligations depend on the company's status and whether it qualifies for any reporting exemptions.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases a dormant company is still required to file annual accounts with Companies House, unless a specific exemption applies. Dormancy does not automatically remove the obligation to prepare and deliver accounts. A company that fails to file its required accounts on time may be subject to late-filing penalties. We can help you determine whether your company is required to file and, if so, prepare the necessary accounts.

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

Companies House and HMRC look at dormancy in different ways. For Companies House, a company may be dormant if it has no significant accounting transactions, but it still generally has to file annual accounts and confirmation statements. For HMRC, a company that is dormant for Corporation Tax may be able to stop filing Corporation Tax Returns once HMRC has been notified and has confirmed that no further returns are required. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically tell HMRC that a company is dormant.

Does a dormant company still need to submit a confirmation statement?

A confirmation statement is separate from dormant company accounts. A dormant company is generally still required to file a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months to keep Companies House records up to date. This includes details of directors, shareholders and registered office. Dormancy does not remove the requirement to submit a confirmation statement unless the company is eligible for a specific exemption, which is rare.

Can you help if our dormant company accounts are overdue?

Yes. If your dormant company has missed its accounts filing deadline, we can help bring the filings up to date and prepare the outstanding accounts. Overdue dormant accounts can lead to late-filing penalties and may harm the company's compliance record. Filing the overdue accounts is essential, and we can assist in preparing and submitting them. Whether a penalty can be appealed depends on the specific circumstances and Companies House rules.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, we typically need confirmation that the company has had no significant accounting transactions during the period. We also require details of any issued share capital and any prior year figures for comparison. We will work from the company's records and, where possible, its previous accounts to ensure the dormant accounts are prepared accurately and in line with the applicable reporting framework.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also qualify as micro-entities. Eligibility depends on the company's size, structure and accounting period. Micro-entity accounts follow a simplified reporting framework, often using FRS 105 or the applicable micro-entity regime. However, dormancy and micro-entity status are separate matters. We review each company's circumstances to determine whether it qualifies for micro-entity accounting treatment and which filing format is appropriate.
