Dormant company accounts filing in Virginia Water

Dormant company accounts for Virginia Water

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 professional, scientific and technical services (655 micro businesses in Runnymede), fee income, work in progress at the year end and how directors are paid are the key decisions, so we plan these with you before the accounts are finalised. In wholesale and retail (540 micro businesses in Runnymede), closing stock and the VAT treatment of different product lines are the usual pressure points, so we value stock carefully and check your VAT records.
