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 in Shepperton Use Dormant Company Accounts?

Dormant company accounts are prepared for companies that are dormant for accounting purposes. A company is usually considered dormant under the Companies House framework if it has no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. That said, dormancy is not automatic and depends on the circumstances: a company with no sales, no employees or no current activity is not always dormant in the statutory sense. Common examples include companies that have not yet started trading, companies that have stopped trading, holding companies or special purpose vehicles retained for future use. Even if a company is dormant for Companies House purposes, it may still need to file annual accounts unless an exemption applies, and it may still need to submit a confirmation statement. Dormancy for HMRC Corporation Tax purposes is assessed separately, and a company may need to notify HMRC or consider its Corporation Tax obligations independently of Companies House filing.

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 prepared for a company that has no significant accounting transactions for the relevant period and meets the Companies House definition of dormancy. They are submitted to Companies House where required and must satisfy the applicable form and content rules. Preparing dormant accounts does not automatically satisfy separate HMRC requirements or confirmation statement obligations.

Does a dormant company still need to file annual accounts?

Yes, in most cases a dormant company is still required to file annual accounts with Companies House by the statutory deadline unless a specific exemption applies. Dormancy reduces the level of activity, but it does not remove the company's obligation to deliver accounts where required. Failing to file can lead to late-filing consequences, so it is wise to confirm the exact requirements for your company.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework and can use micro-entity accounts. Eligibility depends on the company meeting the relevant size criteria and qualifying conditions, not simply on dormancy. If a company qualifies, it may be able to use a more concise balance sheet and reduced disclosure requirements. We do not assume every dormant company qualifies; we review the details, including its legal structure, accounting period and eligibility, before recommending a framework.

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

Companies House and HMRC each have their own dormant definitions and rules. A company may be dormant for Companies House accounting purposes while still being active for Corporation Tax, or vice versa. Filing dormant company accounts with Companies House does not automatically communicate dormancy to HMRC or remove Corporation Tax filing duties. A company that believes it is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes may need to notify HMRC and await confirmation that returns are no longer required, depending on its circumstances.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes. The confirmation statement is a separate annual requirement under the Companies Act and is filed with Companies House to confirm the company's registered details and key information. Filing dormant company accounts does not replace the confirmation statement. A dormant company must still keep its Companies House records up to date and submit a confirmation statement when one is due.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If a dormant company misses the Companies House filing deadline, it risks receiving a late-filing penalty even if it has no trading activity or no turnover. Penalty amounts depend on how late the accounts are filed and may be automatic. Filing late does not remove the need to deliver the outstanding accounts. In some circumstances, an appeal may be possible, but that depends on the specific facts and Companies House rules.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, we normally need details about the company, including the company name and number, registered office address, the names of current directors, and the period covered by the accounts. We also review any bank activity or transactions to confirm whether the company meets the dormancy conditions. If accounts have not been filed for earlier periods, it may be necessary to gather records for each relevant year. The exact information required can vary, so we confirm this before filing.
