Dormant company accounts filing in Blackrod

Dormant company accounts for Blackrod

A company is dormant for Companies House purposes if it has had no significant accounting transactions during the period. It still has to file accounts and a confirmation statement every year, because being dormant does not stop the deadlines. Dormant accounts are far simpler than trading accounts, so the work is quick, but a missed deadline carries the same penalties.
