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.

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 Ross-shire?

A company may be able to prepare and file dormant company accounts if it has been dormant for the relevant accounting period. Dormancy for Companies House purposes generally means the company has had no significant accounting transactions during the period. However, a company does not become dormant simply because it has no sales or is not currently trading – the rules depend on the company’s circumstances and the applicable accounting and Companies House requirements. Importantly, being dormant does not automatically remove the requirement to file annual accounts or a confirmation statement. There is also a distinction between dormancy for Companies House and dormancy for HMRC Corporation Tax purposes; a company can be dormant for one but not the other. We can review your situation to determine whether dormant company accounts are appropriate and what filing obligations remain.

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 a set of annual accounts prepared for a company that has been dormant during the accounting period. They are filed with Companies House to satisfy the company's statutory filing requirement. Although the accounts are simplified compared to full accounts, they must still meet the required format and include the necessary statements. A dormant company is not exempt from filing accounts unless a specific exemption applies, so these accounts are an important compliance step.

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

Yes, in most cases. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes is generally still required to file annual accounts each year, unless it qualifies for a specific exemption. Filing dormant accounts ensures the company's statutory record at Companies House remains up to date and avoids the risk of late-filing penalties. The exact filing requirement can depend on the company's size and eligibility, so it is advisable to confirm your obligations with an accountant.

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

Being dormant for Companies House relates to the company's accounting activities and affects the type of annual accounts filed. Being dormant for HMRC Corporation Tax purposes is a separate status that depends on the company's tax position and whether HMRC has been notified and agreed that no Corporation Tax Returns are required. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically tell HMRC that the company is dormant. A company may need to notify HMRC separately and continue to meet Corporation Tax obligations depending on its circumstances.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

A dormant company may be able to use the micro-entity reporting framework if it qualifies as a micro-entity under the applicable Companies House requirements. Micro-entity status is separate from dormancy, and eligibility depends on factors such as the company's turnover, balance sheet total and number of employees. An eligible dormant company can prepare accounts under the micro-entity framework, but this is not automatic. We can assess your company's eligibility before determining the appropriate reporting format.

Does a dormant company need to submit a confirmation statement?

Yes, a confirmation statement is generally required each year for all active companies, including those that are dormant. The confirmation statement is separate from dormant company accounts and must be filed with Companies House to confirm the company's registered details are correct. Filing dormant accounts does not replace the confirmation statement requirement. Keeping your company information up to date is essential to maintain compliance.

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

It depends on the company's Corporation Tax status with HMRC. A company that is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes may not need to file further Corporation Tax Returns once HMRC has confirmed that a return is no longer required, but this is subject to the applicable rules. If a company has taxable income or has not been formally recognised as dormant for HMRC, it may still need to submit a CT600 return. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically satisfy HMRC obligations, so we recommend reviewing your tax position carefully.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If a dormant company fails to file its annual accounts by the applicable Companies House deadline, it can receive a late-filing penalty, regardless of its dormant status. The amount of the penalty can vary based on how late the accounts are filed and other circumstances. Paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to file the outstanding accounts. In some cases, a penalty appeal may be possible if there were exceptional circumstances, but this depends on Companies House rules. We can assist you in bringing overdue filings up to date and discussing your situation.
