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 Use Dormant Company Accounts?

A company may be able to file dormant company accounts if it has had no significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. This can include companies that are pre-trading, have stopped trading, hold assets without active trading, or are retained for future projects. However, a company is not automatically dormant simply because it has no sales or is not currently trading; the relevant Companies House and accounting rules determine dormancy. Importantly, being dormant for Companies House is not the same as being dormant for HMRC Corporation Tax purposes. A dormant company may still need to deliver annual accounts to Companies House and submit confirmation statements, while its Corporation Tax status with HMRC is handled separately. We advise company directors in Sevenoaks on whether dormant company accounts are suitable and help ensure any remaining filing obligations are properly addressed. Taking expert advice early can prevent uncertainty and help you stay on top of your duties.

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 annual accounts prepared for a company that is dormant for accounting purposes. They are filed with Companies House to satisfy the company's statutory filing requirement. Even if no significant accounting transactions have occurred, the accounts must still be prepared in accordance with the applicable rules, and certain statements may need to be included. Dormant accounts are not a way to ignore filing duties; they are a specific type of filing that reflects the company's dormant status.

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

In most cases, yes. A dormant company generally still has to file annual accounts with Companies House unless a specific exemption applies. Simply being dormant does not remove the filing requirement. The deadline and the type of accounts required will depend on the company's circumstances, but you should never assume that dormancy means accounts are not needed. Our team can confirm whether your company needs to file dormant company accounts and ensure they are submitted on time.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also qualify as micro-entities under the Companies Act, allowing them to use the micro-entity reporting framework. However, dormancy and micro-entity status are not the same thing, and eligibility is not automatic. The company must satisfy the relevant size conditions and meet the applicable legal requirements. If a dormant company also qualifies as a micro-entity, we can advise on the appropriate format and prepare the accounts accordingly.

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

Dormant for Companies House refers to the absence of significant accounting transactions and is used to determine how a company files its annual accounts. Dormant for Corporation Tax purposes is a separate HMRC concept based on whether the company has any income, profits, or Corporation Tax liability. A company may be dormant for Companies House but still incur Corporation Tax obligations in certain circumstances. The two definitions are not interchangeable, and HMRC's requirements must be considered separately from Companies House filing duties.

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

A confirmation statement is separate from dormant company accounts. In most cases, a dormant company must still file a confirmation statement with Companies House every 12 months to keep its registered details up to date. Filing dormant accounts does not replace the confirmation statement requirement. If a confirmation statement is due, it must be submitted even if the company has no trading activity and no accounts information has changed.

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

A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes is not automatically exempt from Corporation Tax Returns. Whether a Corporation Tax Return such as a CT600 is required depends on HMRC's own dormancy rules and the company's specific circumstances. If HMRC still expects a return, it must be submitted even if there is no tax to pay. Where a company is genuinely dormant for Corporation Tax purposes, HMRC may stop requiring returns after appropriate notification, but this is not automatic. We can help you understand which position applies and what actions are needed.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If dormant company accounts are filed late, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty. Dormant status does not automatically protect a company from penalties if the accounts are overdue. The amount of the penalty depends on how late the accounts are filed. If your accounts are already overdue, it is important to file them as soon as possible. In some circumstances, a penalty appeal may be made if there was a reasonable excuse, but each case is judged on its own merits.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, we typically need the company's registration number, registered office address, information about directors and shareholders, and details of any accounting transactions that occurred during the period. Even if there were no transactions, certain statements and disclosures may still be required. We will let you know exactly what we need from you, and you will usually be asked to review and approve the accounts before they are submitted to Companies House.
