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.

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 a Penzance Company File Dormant Company Accounts?

A company may be considered dormant for accounting purposes if it has not entered into any significant transactions during the financial period. This can apply to a newly incorporated company that has not yet started trading, a company that has stopped trading, or a company being retained for future use. However, dormancy is not simply the same as having no sales or no employees – it depends on the precise legal and accounting rules and your company’s specific circumstances. Even if a company is dormant for Companies House purposes, it may still need to file annual accounts and submit a confirmation statement. Importantly, being dormant for Companies House is separate from being dormant for Corporation Tax. HMRC has its own criteria, and a company may need to notify HMRC if it wishes to stop filing Corporation Tax Returns. At Micro Entity Accounts, we can review your situation and confirm what dormant company accounts and other filings are required for your Penzance company.

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 the annual accounts that a company may need to prepare and deliver to Companies House during a period when it has had no significant accounting transactions. They are prepared using simplified reporting requirements where the company qualifies, but they are still statutory accounts. Filing dormant accounts does not automatically remove other obligations, such as filing a confirmation statement.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. Unless a specific exemption applies, a dormant company still needs to deliver annual accounts to Companies House. The filing process is simpler than for a trading company, but it is not optional. A dormant company remains incorporated and must keep its filings up to date while it is on the register.

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

Companies House dormancy relates to whether the company has had significant accounting transactions for financial reporting purposes. HMRC dormancy for Corporation Tax is a separate question. A company can be dormant for Companies House but still need to deal with Corporation Tax, or vice versa. If a company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes, it may need to notify HMRC and await confirmation that no further Corporation Tax returns are required. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically tell HMRC that the company is dormant.

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

Yes. A confirmation statement is a separate annual filing with Companies House. It is required for all active companies, including those that are dormant. The confirmation statement provides an opportunity to update Companies House on the company's registered office, directors, shareholders and other statutory information. Filing dormant company accounts does not replace the need to submit a confirmation statement.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

We will need the company's details, including the company number, registered office address and confirmation that no significant transactions have taken place during the period. We may also ask to see previous accounts or the certificate of incorporation. Once we have the relevant information, we can prepare the dormant company accounts and guide you through the filing process.

Can you prepare dormant accounts for a company that has never traded?

Yes. A company that has been incorporated but has not yet traded is often dormant and may be required to file dormant accounts. We regularly prepare dormant company accounts for newly incorporated companies and those that have never started trading. The filing requirements are usually straightforward, but they still need to be met correctly.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

A dormant company can still receive late-filing penalties from Companies House if its required accounts are not delivered by the applicable deadline. The penalty amount depends on how late the accounts are and the company's filing history. If accounts are overdue, it is important to file them as soon as possible and consider whether an appeal is appropriate. We can help you bring overdue dormant company accounts up to date and explain the process.

Keep Your Dormant Company Compliant Without the Stress

Directors of dormant companies often worry about missing a filing deadline or not knowing whether they still need to submit a confirmation statement. At Micro Entity Accounts, we prepare and file dormant company accounts with Companies House, and we can also provide guidance on confirmation statements and Corporation Tax obligations where applicable. Whether your Penzance company has never traded, has stopped trading, or is simply being kept for future use, we will help you understand exactly what you need to do.
