 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 File Dormant Accounts: Establishing Companies House Dormancy

Dormant company accounts are generally relevant where a company is dormant for Companies House purposes and has had no significant accounting transactions during the relevant financial period, subject to the applicable rules. It is important to establish whether your company meets the definition of dormancy for Companies House rather than assuming that a lack of trading automatically makes it dormant. Being dormant for Companies House is a separate concept from 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 and does not deal with any separate Corporation Tax obligations that may apply. A company can remain registered and dormant while still having annual filing responsibilities, including dormant accounts and a confirmation statement. Dormant status should not be treated as an exemption from all company filing requirements. Because accounting requirements can differ from those of an active trading company, and not every dormant company can use the same form or filing route, it is worth checking your position before you file.

Dormant Company Accounts FAQs

What are dormant company accounts?

Dormant company accounts are annual accounts prepared for a company that meets the Companies House definition of dormancy for the relevant financial period. They typically reflect a company with no significant accounting transactions, and they are filed with Companies House where the company is required to do so. The exact content and format depend on the company's circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules, which is why Dormant Company Accounts Filing should be approached with care rather than assumed to be identical for every dormant company.

What makes a company dormant for Companies House?

For Companies House purposes, a company is generally considered dormant if it has had no significant accounting transactions during the financial period. This is a specific definition, and it is not the same as simply having a quiet year or no sales. Certain transactions may still be permitted without affecting dormancy, but the rules can be detailed. If you are unsure whether your company qualifies, it is worth checking your position before preparing and filing dormant company accounts.

Does a dormant company still need to file annual accounts and a confirmation statement?

Yes, in many cases. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes will often still need to file annual accounts and a confirmation statement, unless it has been formally dissolved or another specific rule applies. Dormant status does not automatically remove these filing obligations. A confirmation statement is a separate filing from dormant company accounts, and both may need to be submitted to Companies House. Keeping on top of each requirement helps avoid gaps in your company's filing record.

Are dormant company accounts different from normal company accounts?

Dormant company accounts can be simpler than the accounts of an active trading company, but they are prepared under specific rules. A dormant company may have different accounting requirements from one that is trading, and the filing route can vary depending on the company's circumstances. Not every dormant company can use the same form or method, so it is important to confirm the correct approach rather than assuming one universal template applies.

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. A company can be dormant for Companies House purposes but not for Corporation Tax, or the other way around. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically notify HMRC of dormancy, and it does not automatically deal with any Corporation Tax obligations. If you are unsure about your Corporation Tax position, you may need to check with HMRC or a qualified tax adviser.

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

It depends on the company's circumstances and HMRC's requirements. Being dormant for Companies House does not automatically mean the company has no Corporation Tax obligations, and it does not automatically stop a Corporation Tax Return requirement. Corporation Tax Returns are separate from Companies House filings, including Dormant Company Accounts Filing. If your company has received a notice to file from HMRC, or if you are unsure of your position, you should seek appropriate advice.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, we typically need basic company details, the financial period dates, and confirmation of the company's activities — or lack of them — during that period. We may also need to know about any transactions that occurred, as some can affect whether the company qualifies as dormant. Because requirements depend on the company's circumstances, the exact information needed can vary. Providing clear records helps ensure the accounts are prepared accurately for Companies House filing.

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

If a company is still registered at Companies House, it may still have filing obligations even if you intend to close it later. Filing dormant company accounts may be required for the relevant period while the company remains on the register. Closing a company involves separate steps, and dormant status does not automatically remove the need to file during the period before dissolution. It is worth checking what is required for your company's specific timeline.
