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?

A company may be considered dormant for accounting purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions during the period. This can include 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 current activity – it depends on the relevant Companies House rules and your company’s individual circumstances. Please note that a company can be dormant for Companies House purposes and still have filing obligations, such as annual accounts and a confirmation statement. Separately, HMRC’s treatment of dormant companies for Corporation Tax is different, and whether a CT600 Corporation Tax Return is needed depends on the company’s Corporation Tax position. Being dormant does not automatically remove the requirement to file accounts or keep your company information up to date.

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 accounting period. They are filed with Companies House and must meet the applicable statutory requirements. Even if a company is dormant, it usually still needs to file these accounts unless a specific exemption applies.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. A dormant company generally still needs to deliver its annual accounts to Companies House, even if there is minimal activity. Failure to file on time can result in late-filing penalties and may affect the company's status. There are some exemptions depending on the company's type and circumstances, but you should not assume that dormancy automatically removes this obligation.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework if they meet the micro-entity criteria, such as size thresholds and legal structure. Dormant status and micro-entity status are not the same thing. We can review your company's eligibility and prepare the accounts under the appropriate framework, where relevant.

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

Companies House and HMRC use different definitions. A company may be dormant for Companies House purposes because it has no significant accounting transactions, but HMRC may still expect Corporation Tax returns unless the company has been formally notified and HMRC has confirmed that it is dormant for Corporation Tax. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically tell HMRC that the company is dormant. We can help you understand the distinction and the steps needed for each authority.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes. A confirmation statement is a separate filing with Companies House and must be submitted at least once every 12 months. Filing dormant company accounts does not replace the confirmation statement. You must keep your company information up to date and submit the confirmation statement when required, even if the company is dormant.

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

It depends on the company's Corporation Tax position. If a company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes, and HMRC has been notified and confirmed that Corporation Tax Returns are no longer required, then you may not need to file further returns. However, this is not automatic. Each company's circumstances are different, and we can help you establish whether a CT600 return is needed.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

Late filing of dormant company accounts can result in penalties from Companies House, even if the company is dormant. The penalty amount varies depending on how late the accounts are filed. Paying a penalty does not remove the requirement to submit the outstanding accounts. If you believe a penalty was issued incorrectly, you may be able to appeal, depending on the circumstances, but we cannot guarantee the outcome.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, we generally need details of the company's registered office, directors, shareholders and any share capital, along with confirmation that there have been no significant accounting transactions during the period. If the company had prior transactions, we may need the previous accounts or an opening balance sheet. Every company is different, so we will confirm exactly what we need after reviewing your records.
