Dormant Company Accounts Filing in London: Prepare and File With Confidence

If your company is dormant for Companies House purposes, professional Dormant Company Accounts Filing in London can help you prepare and file the appropriate annual accounts where required. Dormant status does not automatically remove your company’s filing obligations: a dormant company may still need to file annual accounts and a confirmation statement, unless it has been formally dissolved or a specific rule applies. Dormant Company Accounts Filing is separate from a confirmation statement, a Corporation Tax Return (CT600), VAT Returns, payroll filings and other company obligations. Our service is designed to make the process clearer for directors of inactive or non-trading companies, so you can keep your Companies House information up to date and understand what 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.

 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.

When You Can File Dormant Accounts for Your London Company

Dormant company accounts are generally relevant where a company qualifies as dormant for Companies House purposes and has had no significant accounting transactions during the relevant financial period, subject to the applicable rules and the company’s specific circumstances. It is important to establish dormancy on the correct basis: being dormant for Companies House is not the same as being dormant for Corporation Tax purposes with HMRC, and a company may be dormant for one purpose but not the other. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically notify HMRC of dormancy or remove any separate Corporation Tax obligations. A company can remain registered and dormant while still having annual filing responsibilities, including dormant accounts and a confirmation statement, so directors in London should check what applies to their company before assuming no filings are due.

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. In general terms, this means the company has had no significant accounting transactions during the financial period, although the exact position depends on the applicable rules and the company’s circumstances. They are not the same as a confirmation statement or a Corporation Tax Return, and they do not by themselves change the company’s status with HMRC.

What makes a company dormant for Companies House?

For Companies House purposes, a company is usually considered dormant if it has no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. This is a specific accounting test rather than simply a decision by the directors that the company is inactive. Certain transactions may still be permitted without affecting dormancy, depending on the rules, so it is sensible to check your company’s activity before preparing Dormant Company Accounts Filing. If you are unsure, professional support can help clarify which filing route is appropriate.

Does a dormant company need to file annual accounts?

In many cases, yes. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes may still need to file annual accounts, although the exact requirement depends on its circumstances and the applicable rules. Being dormant does not automatically mean the company has no Companies House filing obligations. Unless the company has been formally dissolved or another specific rule applies, directors should expect to keep annual accounts and other filings up to date.

Does a dormant company need to file a confirmation statement?

Yes, a confirmation statement is a separate Companies House filing and is generally required even if the company is dormant. It confirms that the information Companies House holds about the company is correct, such as directors, registered office and share capital. Dormant Company Accounts Filing deals with the annual accounts; it does not replace the confirmation statement, so both may need to be dealt with separately.

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

No. Dormancy for Companies House purposes and dormancy for Corporation Tax purposes with HMRC are separate concepts. A company may be dormant for one purpose but not automatically for the other. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically notify HMRC of dormancy, and it does not automatically remove any Corporation Tax obligations. Directors should consider both sets of requirements separately and take advice where needed.

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

A dormant company may still have Corporation Tax obligations, depending on its circumstances. Whether a Corporation Tax Return (CT600) is required is separate from Companies House dormancy. If HMRC has asked for a return, or if the company has had taxable activity, a return may still be due even if dormant accounts are filed at Companies House. HMRC dormancy and Companies House dormancy should be checked separately.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, an accountant will usually need basic company details, the accounting period dates, the previous year’s accounts if available, and confirmation of whether the company had any significant transactions during the period. Information about the company’s registered office, directors and Companies House records may also be helpful. Because the exact requirements depend on the company’s circumstances, providing clear information about any activity or changes helps ensure the correct approach is taken for Dormant Company Accounts Filing.

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

It may be possible to prepare and file dormant company accounts for a company that is in the process of being closed, depending on the timing, its filing obligations and the applicable rules. If the company has not yet been formally dissolved, it may still have annual accounts and confirmation statement requirements to deal with. Filing dormant accounts is not the same as applying for strike-off or dissolving the company, and separate action may be needed if closure is intended.
