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 Accounts in Portsmouth?

A company is generally considered dormant for Companies House purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. This can include a company that has not yet started trading, a company that has stopped trading, or a holding company with no income or expenditure. However, dormancy is not simply the same as having no sales or no current activity. Whether a company can file dormant accounts depends on its specific circumstances and the applicable accounting rules. Importantly, being dormant for filing purposes does not necessarily remove the need to file annual accounts or a confirmation statement. Equally, being dormant for Companies House purposes is not the same as being dormant for Corporation Tax with HMRC. Each set of obligations must be reviewed separately. If you are unsure whether your company qualifies, we can review your situation and advise on the correct approach.

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.

─── FAQs

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 annual accounts prepared for a company that has no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. They are filed with Companies House where required, and eligible companies may be able to use a simplified format. Dormant status does not mean the company has no filing obligations; it simply reflects the level of activity.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases a dormant company must still file annual accounts with Companies House, unless a specific exemption applies. The fact that a company is dormant does not remove its statutory filing obligation. We can assist in preparing and filing the necessary accounts to help you stay compliant.

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

Companies House and HMRC have separate definitions and requirements. A company may be dormant for Companies House purposes but still be required to file Corporation Tax Returns with HMRC, depending on its circumstances. It is important to notify and confirm treatment with each body separately. We can help you understand which obligations apply.

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

Yes. A confirmation statement is a separate Companies House filing and is required for most companies, including dormant ones, at least once a year. Filing dormant accounts does not replace the confirmation statement. We can help ensure both are handled correctly.

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

Not necessarily. If HMRC confirms that a company is dormant for Corporation Tax and no longer requires tax returns, the company may not need to file further CT600 returns. Each case depends on the company's position and HMRC's rules. We can review your circumstances and assist with any necessary correspondence.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

Typically we need details of the company, its registered office, and confirmation that there were no significant transactions in the period. We may also need copies of previous accounts and any relevant correspondence. The exact information depends on your company's situation and which filing exemption applies.

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

Yes. We regularly assist companies in Portsmouth that have been incorporated but have not yet begun trading. Such companies may be able to file dormant accounts, but they still need to meet their Companies House and potentially HMRC obligations. We can confirm the correct treatment and handle the filings on your behalf.
