 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 for a Company in Abbey

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 accounting period, subject to the applicable Companies House rules and the company’s specific circumstances. Being dormant for Companies House is not the same as being dormant for Corporation Tax with HMRC, and a company should not assume it can treat itself as dormant simply because it has not traded. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically notify HMRC of dormancy or settle any Corporation Tax obligations. A company can remain registered and dormant while still having annual filing responsibilities, including dormant accounts and a confirmation statement, so dormancy should not be viewed as an exemption from all company filing requirements. If you are unsure whether your Abbey company qualifies, professional Dormant Company Accounts Filing can help establish the correct position and prepare the appropriate accounts where required.

What are dormant company accounts?

Dormant company accounts are annual accounts prepared for a company that is dormant for Companies House purposes. They are used to record the company's dormant position for the relevant period and are filed with Companies House where the company meets the applicable dormancy criteria. They are not the same as a Corporation Tax Return, a VAT Return, a confirmation statement or a payroll filing, and the exact preparation and filing requirements depend on the company's circumstances and current Companies House rules.

What makes a company dormant for Companies House?

For Companies House purposes, a company is generally considered dormant when it has had no significant accounting transactions during the relevant accounting period. Certain transactions may not affect dormant status, but the position depends on the specific activity and the applicable rules. For example, bank charges or other incidental transactions can be relevant, so directors should not assume that any movement on a bank account automatically means the company can file dormant accounts. If a company has not traded but has other transactions, it may not qualify as dormant for Companies House.

Does a dormant company need to file annual accounts?

Yes, in many cases. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes will generally still need to file annual accounts with Companies House unless it has been formally dissolved or a specific exception applies. The accounts may be prepared on a dormant basis where the company qualifies, but the filing obligation itself does not disappear simply because the company is inactive. Directors should check the company's circumstances and ensure the correct accounts are filed by the applicable deadline.

Does a dormant company need to file a confirmation statement?

A confirmation statement is a separate Companies House filing from dormant company accounts. In most cases, a dormant company that remains registered will still need to file a confirmation statement as required by the applicable rules, even if it has no trading activity. The confirmation statement confirms that the company information held by Companies House is correct, such as the registered office, directors and shareholders. It does not replace the need to file dormant accounts where those are required.

Are dormant company accounts different from normal company accounts?

Yes. Dormant company accounts are prepared for a company that is dormant for Companies House purposes, so they generally contain a simpler set of information than the accounts of an actively trading company. Normal trading accounts typically include a profit and loss account, balance sheet and disclosures that reflect the company's trading activity. Dormant accounts may not need to include the same level of detail, but the exact format and content depend on the company's circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules. Not every dormant company can use the same form or filing route.

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 may be dormant for Companies House purposes but not automatically dormant for Corporation Tax, and the reverse can also apply. Being dormant for Companies House does not automatically notify HMRC of dormancy or remove any Corporation Tax obligations. Directors should consider both positions separately and take advice where needed, especially if the company has had any transactions, income or expenses.

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

That depends on the company's position with HMRC. A Corporation Tax Return is a separate obligation from Dormant Company Accounts Filing and is not filed with Companies House. If HMRC has not been notified that the company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes, or if HMRC has issued a notice to file, the company may still need to submit a Corporation Tax Return. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically deal with this. Directors should check directly with HMRC or seek professional advice about the company's Corporation Tax position.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, an accountant will usually need basic company details, including the company name and number, the accounting period, the registered office, details of directors and shareholders, and confirmation that the company was dormant for the relevant period. Information about any transactions, bank activity or changes during the year can also be relevant, because certain transactions may affect whether the company qualifies as dormant for Companies House purposes. If a confirmation statement is also due, company information should be checked and updated as necessary. The exact information required can vary depending on the company's circumstances.
