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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with a few different accountants before finally settling with Accotax, and we’re really glad we did. Their team is great. Abdul is responsive and easy to reach whenever I have a question, which makes a big difference. They take the time to understand how our business works and what our needs are. They are very knowledgeable, and when they don’t have the answer straight away, they take the time to look into it and get back to us quickly. Anum, who looks after our account on a day-to-day basis, including reconciling invoices and preparing the annual accounts, is amazing. She is professional, efficient, and follows the processes we have put in place together. She's also very quickin getting back to us whenever needed. We’re very happy to work with her and hope to continue doing so for as long as possible. Overall, Accotax has made our accounting experience much smoother and easier. We see them as a long-term partner as our business continues to grow. I would 100% recommend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have really impressed to date with all dealings with Accotax highly enough. From day one, they've made what can often be a complicated and stressful part of running a business feel straightforward and hassle-free. A special mention has to go to Anum, who has been friendly, incredibly responsive, and genuinely cares about providing the best possible service. No question is ever too much trouble, and she consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything is dealt with efficiently. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for an accountant they can genuinely trust.

When Can a Company File Dormant Company Accounts in Aberystwyth?

A company may be able to file dormant accounts if it is dormant for Companies House purposes. Dormancy generally means the company has no significant accounting transactions during the reporting period. However, dormancy does not simply mean a company has no sales or has stopped trading; it depends on the specific rules and the company’s circumstances. Importantly, a dormant company can still be required to file annual accounts and a confirmation statement with Companies House. Being dormant for HMRC Corporation Tax purposes is a separate matter and depends on whether HMRC has confirmed that Corporation Tax Returns are no longer required. We can help you understand your situation and prepare dormant company accounts where appropriate.

A Company May Be Dormant If:

It has been incorporated but has not started trading.

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.

What are dormant company accounts?

Dormant company accounts are the statutory accounts prepared for a limited company that is dormant for Companies House purposes. Dormant status can apply, for example, if the company has not yet started trading, has stopped trading, or has had no significant accounting transactions in the relevant period. Even a dormant company must file the required accounts with Companies House each year. The form and content of the accounts depend on the company's circumstances and whether an exemption applies.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, generally. Unless a specific exemption applies, a dormant company must still prepare and file annual accounts with Companies House by the statutory deadline. Being dormant does not remove this obligation. If required accounts are not filed on time, the company could face late-filing penalties. The accounts filed will often be simpler than those of an active company, but they must still meet the applicable requirements.

What is the difference between dormant for Companies House and dormant for HMRC?

Dormant for Companies House means the company has no significant accounting transactions for Companies House reporting purposes. Dormant for Corporation Tax is a separate test applied by HMRC, usually where a company is not trading and has no income or other taxable activity. If a company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes, it may need to notify HMRC, and may stop filing Corporation Tax Returns once HMRC confirms no return is required. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically tell HMRC that the company is dormant. Our team can review your circumstances and help you understand both sets of obligations.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes. A confirmation statement is a separate requirement from dormant company accounts. It confirms that the company's registered details, such as directors, registered office and shareholders, are accurate, or records any changes. Dormant companies generally still need to file a confirmation statement at least once a year unless an exemption applies. Filing accounts does not replace the confirmation statement, and you must keep Companies House information up to date.

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

Not necessarily, but it depends on the company's Corporation Tax position. If the company is dormant for Corporation Tax and HMRC has agreed that no returns are needed, there may be no further CT600 filing requirement. However, if HMRC requires a return or the company has not been formally notified as dormant for Corporation Tax, a return may still be needed. This is separate from filing dormant company accounts with Companies House. We can advise on whether a Corporation Tax Return is required in your circumstances.

Can a dormant company prepare micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may qualify as micro-entities and can therefore use the micro-entity reporting framework, provided they meet the relevant eligibility criteria. Micro-entity status is not automatic and it is not the same as dormancy. A company may be dormant for Companies House purposes but not qualify as a micro-entity, or vice versa. The appropriate framework depends on the company's legal structure, financial position and the reporting rules that apply to its accounting period.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If a dormant company fails to file its accounts by the Companies House deadline, it may receive a late-filing penalty. Dormant status does not automatically protect a company from this. The penalty amount varies and depends on how late the accounts are filed. Paying any penalty does not remove the need to file the outstanding accounts. If a penalty has been issued, you may be able to appeal in certain limited circumstances, depending on the reasons and the applicable rules. We can help you bring your dormant accounts up to date and discuss your options.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, we usually need the company confirmation statement details, the registered name and number, the accounting period dates, and confirmation that there have been no significant accounting transactions. In some cases, we may also need details of any prior-year entries or notes that must be carried forward. We will guide you through exactly what is required and ensure the accounts are prepared in line with the applicable Companies House rules.
