Dormant company accounts filing in Mirfield

Dormant company accounts for Mirfield

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.

In construction (1,940 micro businesses in Kirklees), Construction Industry Scheme deductions, retentions and stage payments can distort profit, so we reconcile your CIS statements before the accounts are prepared.
