 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 Are Dormant Company Accounts the Right Filing Route?

A company may be considered dormant for accounting purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions during the financial year. This often applies to companies that have not yet started trading, have stopped trading, or are held for future use. However, dormancy is not simply the same as having no sales or no customers. Whether dormant accounts are appropriate depends on the relevant Companies House rules and your company’s particular circumstances. Importantly, a dormant company is not automatically exempt from all filing obligations. You may still need to file annual accounts, submit a confirmation statement, and keep your company records up to date. There is also a separate test for dormancy used by HMRC for Corporation Tax purposes. Being dormant for Companies House does not automatically mean you are dormant for HMRC, and the two definitions are not the same. We can review your circumstances and explain which obligations apply to your specific company in Sissinghurst.

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 for Companies House purposes. They are filed with Companies House and typically show minimal financial activity, often with no significant transactions to report. Even if your company is dormant, you normally still need to prepare and file the required accounts, unless a specific exemption applies. The content of the accounts depends on your company's structure and whether you are eligible for a simplified reporting framework such as micro-entity accounts.

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

In most cases, yes. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes is generally still required to file annual accounts, even if it has not traded. Dormant status does not automatically remove the obligation to file. Some dormant companies may be exempt from certain filing requirements, but this depends on the exact rules and circumstances. We can help you check whether your Sissinghurst company needs to file dormant accounts and ensure they are submitted correctly.

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

Companies House and HMRC apply different tests for dormancy. A company might be dormant for Companies House because it has no significant accounting transactions, but HMRC may still expect Corporation Tax documents depending on the company's tax position. For example, a company that is dormant for Corporation Tax may need to notify HMRC and may not need to file further Corporation Tax Returns once HMRC has confirmed this. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically inform HMRC about your tax status. We can help you understand both sets of requirements and communicate with HMRC where necessary.

Can a dormant company prepare micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also qualify as micro-entities, but not all dormant companies automatically do. Eligibility depends on your company's size, structure, and the applicable reporting framework. If your company qualifies, the accounts may be prepared using the micro-entity accounting framework, which is simpler than full statutory accounts. However, dormancy and micro-entity status are separate concepts. We can assess your eligibility and prepare the correct form of dormant accounts for your company in Sissinghurst.

Does a dormant company need to file a confirmation statement?

Yes, usually. A confirmation statement is separate from dormant company accounts and must be submitted to Companies House at least once a year. It confirms that the company's registered details, such as directors, shareholders, and registered office, are accurate. Filing dormant accounts does not replace the confirmation statement. Even if your company is dormant, you must keep your information up to date and submit the confirmation statement when required.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts for a Sissinghurst company?

To prepare dormant company accounts, we typically need your company details, such as the company registration number, the reporting period, and any relevant accounting information. If your company has had no significant transactions, the accounts will usually be straightforward. However, you still need to confirm that the company has not had reportable activity, and in some cases you may need to provide details of any transactions that did occur. We will guide you through exactly what is required and help you prepare the accounts correctly.

What happens if a dormant company misses the filing deadline?

Late filing of accounts, including dormant accounts, can result in automatic penalties from Companies House. Dormant status does not automatically protect you from late-filing penalties if the required accounts are not submitted on time. The amount of the penalty can vary depending on how late the accounts are filed. If you owe a penalty, paying it does not remove the need to file the outstanding accounts. In some cases, you may be able to appeal a late-filing penalty if you have a reasonable excuse, but this depends on the circumstances. We can advise on your situation and help you get dormant accounts filed as quickly as possible.
