─── SPECIALIST DORMANT COMPANY ACCOUNTANTS IN THE UK

Dormant Company Accounts Filing in Pershore

If your company has never traded, or has stopped trading and is sitting quietly, professional Dormant Company Accounts Filing helps you keep its annual Companies House obligations in order without the guesswork. We work with directors in Pershore to establish whether the company qualifies as dormant for Companies House purposes, prepare the appropriate annual accounts for the period, and file them correctly, all based on the company’s own circumstances and the rules that apply to it. It is worth remembering that dormant status does not automatically remove the requirement to file accounts or a confirmation statement, so staying on top of your dormant company filing matters even when there has been little or no activity. Our role is to make that process clear and manageable: reviewing your position, confirming what needs to be prepared and filed, and handling the preparation and submission so your company records stay accurate and up to date.

 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 Can a Company Prepare and File Dormant Company Accounts?

Dormant company accounts are generally relevant where a company is dormant for Companies House purposes — broadly, where it has had no significant accounting transactions during the accounting period in question. Certain transactions, such as a Companies House filing fee or the taking of subscriber shares on incorporation, are usually disregarded when assessing this, but the detail depends on the applicable rules and on what the company has actually done during the period. That is why it is important to look at the period on its own merits rather than assuming a company is dormant because it has not been trading. There is also a common misconception worth clearing up: dormancy for Companies House purposes is a separate concept from dormancy for Corporation Tax purposes with HMRC. A company can be dormant for one and not the other, and filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically notify HMRC of anything or settle Corporation Tax obligations. Equally, a company can remain registered and dormant while still having annual filing responsibilities, which typically include dormant accounts where required and a separate confirmation statement. Before any dormant company accounts filing goes ahead, we check the company’s position for the period, confirm whether dormant accounts are the right route, and make sure the other Companies House and HMRC obligations that sit alongside it are properly understood.

A company may be able to file dormant accounts where it has had no significant accounting transactions during the relevant financial year, subject to the applicable Companies House rules.

Trading has stopped and the company has no relevant ongoing activity.

Its only transactions are those that Companies House disregards when determining dormancy.

It is being retained for a future business purpose, subject to its actual activities and transactions.

Dormant Company Accounts FAQs

Still unsure where you stand? Reach out to our UK team at info@microentityaccounts.co.uk and we will review your filing history with you.

What are dormant company accounts?

Dormant company accounts are the annual accounts prepared for a company that is dormant for Companies House purposes — meaning it has had no significant accounting transactions during the relevant accounting period. They are a simplified set of accounts compared with those of an actively trading company, but they are still a formal Companies House filing. The exact format and the filing route available can vary depending on the company's circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules, so it is not safe to assume every dormant company uses the same form or approach. Part of our job is to check which route fits your company rather than applying a one-size-fits-all template.

What makes a company dormant for Companies House purposes?

A company is generally treated as dormant for Companies House purposes when it has no significant accounting transactions in an accounting period. That is a narrower test than simply 'not trading'. Some transactions are normally disregarded when assessing dormancy, such as a filing fee paid to Companies House or shares taken by subscribers on incorporation, while other activity in the accounts may mean the company does not qualify as dormant for that period. Dormancy is also assessed period by period, so a company could be dormant for one year and not the next.

Does a dormant company still need to file annual accounts?

In most cases, yes. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes will generally still need to file annual accounts, unless it has been formally dissolved or a specific rule applies to its situation. Being dormant is not the same as being exempt from all filing requirements. If you are unsure what applies to your company, it is worth checking your position before the filing date rather than afterwards, because the obligations are driven by the company's own circumstances and the rules in force at the time.

Does a dormant company need to file a confirmation statement?

Yes, in most circumstances. A confirmation statement is a separate Companies House filing from dormant company accounts, and it is normally required even where the company has not traded. It confirms that the information Companies House holds about the company — such as the registered office address, directors, and shareholders — is still correct. Filing dormant company accounts does not replace the confirmation statement, and filing a confirmation statement does not replace the annual accounts. Both are separate obligations that run alongside each other.

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

No, they are separate concepts with different tests and different authorities. Dormancy for Companies House purposes is assessed against the annual accounts and the significant accounting transactions test, while dormancy for Corporation Tax purposes is a matter for HMRC and depends on its own criteria. A company can be dormant for one purpose but not automatically for the other. Filing dormant company accounts with Companies House does not notify HMRC of dormancy and does not by itself change your Corporation Tax position, so the two should always be considered side by side.

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

It depends on the company's circumstances and on HMRC's view of its position. A Corporation Tax Return (CT600) is an HMRC obligation and is entirely separate from dormant company accounts filing at Companies House. Filing dormant accounts does not automatically deal with Corporation Tax, and it does not mean the company has stopped having Corporation Tax responsibilities. If you are unsure whether a return is expected for your company, it is best to check with HMRC or take advice on your specific situation.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

We normally need the company's basic details, the accounting period the accounts cover, the previous year's accounts or filing history where available, and a clear picture of any transactions that took place during the period so we can confirm whether the company qualifies as dormant. We may also ask about the company's registered details and the confirmation statement position, plus the authentication needed to file at Companies House. If anything is missing or unclear, we will tell you what else is required before the dormant company accounts filing is prepared.

Can an accountant prepare and file dormant company accounts for me?

Yes. Preparing and submitting dormant company accounts is something we handle regularly for companies that are inactive or have very little activity. We review the company's position for the period, prepare the accounts in the appropriate format, and submit them to Companies House on the company's behalf. The directors remain responsible for the accuracy of the information provided and for ensuring the company meets its wider filing obligations, so we keep you informed at each stage rather than leaving you guessing about what has been filed and when.

Take the Stress Out of Your Dormant Company Accounts Filing in Pershore

One of the most common worries we hear from directors is simply not knowing whether accounts are still required once a company goes quiet — particularly when the company has never traded at all. At Micro Entity Accounts, we specialise in dormant company accounts preparation and Companies House filing, along with confirmation statement support, so the annual obligations attached to an inactive company are handled properly and on time by people who understand them. You tell us about the company and the period; we check what applies, prepare the dormant company accounts, and deal with the filing side, keeping you informed as we go. If your company has been sitting dormant and the paperwork has been left to drift, that is exactly the kind of situation we help to put straight — and you can start by sharing a few details about your company with our team.
