Dormant Company Accounts Filing in Liskeard

If your company has stopped trading but is still registered at Companies House, Dormant Company Accounts Filing in Liskeard gives you a straightforward way to keep your annual accounts in order with professional support. Our team helps directors of dormant and non-trading limited companies understand what is required, prepare the appropriate accounts for their circumstances, and file them with Companies House where a filing is due.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with Accotx on a HMRC reclaim and overall, they did ultimately deliver on their promise, which I appreciate. The process did take longer than any of us expected, partly due to external delays with the tax authorities, and partly because there were some hiccups in communication and follow-up. However, despite those challenges, they stayed professional and stuck to the original agreed terms. If you’re considering using them, be prepared to stay in regular contact to keep things moving along. They are absolutely capable, have the expertise and willing to work with you, and overall  improving their services over time. I would certainly return for any future needs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Imran to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable accountant. 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.

When You Can Prepare and File Dormant Company Accounts

Dormant company accounts are generally relevant where a company is dormant for Companies House purposes — broadly, where it has had no significant accounting transactions during the relevant accounting period — subject to the applicable Companies House rules and the company’s own circumstances. Being dormant for Companies House purposes is a separate concept from being dormant for Corporation Tax purposes with HMRC. A company can be dormant for one purpose but not the other, and filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically notify HMRC of dormancy or settle any Corporation Tax obligations. It is also important not to assume that a company is automatically dormant simply because it has not traded; the position depends on what has actually happened in the company during the period, and certain transactions can affect whether dormant accounts are appropriate. A company can remain registered and dormant while still carrying annual filing responsibilities, including annual accounts and a separate confirmation statement. Directors in Liskeard should establish the company’s position for the period before deciding on a filing route, because a dormant company may have different accounting requirements from an active trading company, and not every dormant company will use the same form or filing method.

Dormant Company Accounts FAQs

What are dormant company accounts?

Dormant company accounts are the annual accounts prepared for a company that is dormant for Companies House purposes. In simple terms, this usually means the company had no significant accounting transactions during the accounting period, so the accounts are prepared on a simplified basis rather than reflecting trading income and expenditure. The exact content and format depend on the company's circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules, and directors should confirm the position for their own period before filing.

What makes a company dormant for Companies House?

For Companies House purposes, a company is generally treated as dormant when it has no significant accounting transactions during the relevant accounting period. This is not simply a case of the director deciding the company is inactive. Certain transactions and events can affect whether dormant accounts are appropriate for the period, so the company's records need to be reviewed before a filing route is chosen. A company can remain registered at Companies House while it is dormant.

Does a dormant company still need to file annual accounts?

In most cases, yes. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes generally still has an obligation to file annual accounts, unless it has been formally dissolved or another specific rule applies to its circumstances. Being dormant does not mean the company has no filing responsibilities. The accounts prepared, and the filing route used, depend on the company's circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules.

Does a dormant company need to file a confirmation statement?

Yes, in most cases. A confirmation statement is a separate Companies House filing from dormant company accounts. It confirms that the information Companies House holds about the company — such as its directors, registered office and share capital — is up to date. A dormant company will usually need to file a confirmation statement as well as its annual accounts, even where no trading has taken place. The two filings serve different purposes and are made separately.

Is being dormant for Companies House the same as being dormant for Corporation Tax?

No. Companies House dormancy and HMRC Corporation Tax dormancy are separate concepts with different tests and different consequences. A company can be dormant for one purpose but not automatically for the other. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not notify HMRC that the company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes, and it does not remove any Corporation Tax obligations the company may have. Directors should consider both positions separately.

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

A Corporation Tax Return (CT600) is a separate HMRC obligation from Companies House accounts filing, and whether one is required depends on the company's own circumstances and HMRC's rules. Filing dormant company accounts with Companies House does not deal with Corporation Tax, and it does not automatically mean the company has stopped having Corporation Tax obligations. If you are unsure about your company's position with HMRC, it is worth checking directly or taking advice on the specific facts.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

Typically, we need details of the company itself, the accounting period in question, information about the directors and registered office, and the company's records for that period so we can confirm whether it meets the dormancy criteria for Companies House purposes. Bank transactions, interest, charges or any other activity during the period can affect the position, so it helps to be upfront about anything that has happened. Once we understand the circumstances, we can explain which route is appropriate and what further information is needed.

Can an accountant prepare and file dormant company accounts for me?

Yes. Many directors of dormant companies in Liskeard ask an accountant to prepare and file their dormant company accounts so the paperwork is dealt with accurately and on time. We can review your circumstances, prepare the accounts in the appropriate format, and file them at Companies House where a filing is due. We can also help with confirmation statement support, since that is a separate annual filing requirement.

Can dormant company accounts be filed for a company that is being closed?

It depends on the stage the company has reached and the rules that apply to it. A company that is still registered generally continues to have filing obligations until it is formally dissolved, and a company being closed may still owe filings for the periods before that point. The appropriate approach varies from case to case, so it is best to discuss the specific situation before deciding how to proceed.
