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.

Special thanks to Muhammad Saifullah for his assistance.

 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 You Submit Dormant Company Accounts in Abingdon?

A company may be considered dormant for Companies House purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions during the relevant accounting period. That generally means no transactions that would need to be entered into the company’s accounting records, such as income or expenditure. A company that has not yet started trading, or one that has stopped trading and has no such activities, may be able to prepare dormant company accounts. However, dormancy is not automatic: it depends on the company’s specific circumstances and the applicable Companies House rules. Being dormant for Companies House purposes does not necessarily mean the company is dormant for HMRC or Corporation Tax purposes, and the company may still need to file annual accounts and a confirmation statement. Being dormant also does not mean the company is dissolved or struck off.

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.

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 annual accounts prepared for a limited company that is dormant for Companies House purposes. They are filed with Companies House in accordance with the Companies Act, and they report that the company has had no significant accounting transactions during the period. Filing dormant accounts does not remove the company's other obligations, such as submitting a confirmation statement or dealing with HMRC on Corporation Tax matters.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

In most cases, yes. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes will generally still have a legal obligation to file annual accounts unless it qualifies for a specific exemption. Dormant status does not mean the company is exempt from preparing and filing accounts. A qualified accountant can help you identify whether an exemption applies, but it should not be assumed simply because the company has no sales or is not presently trading.

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

These are separate tests. A company may be dormant for Companies House purposes but still have Corporation Tax obligations to HMRC. HMRC dormancy for Corporation Tax purposes is considered separately and may require the company to be formally notified, depending on its circumstances. Even if a company is no longer required to file Corporation Tax Returns once HMRC has confirmed that, the company must continue to satisfy its Companies House filing requirements, including annual accounts and confirmation statements.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Generally yes. The confirmation statement is a separate filing with Companies House and is not replaced by dormant company accounts. It confirms the company's registered office, directors, shareholders and other information. Every UK company, including most dormant limited companies, is expected to keep its Companies House information up to date and submit a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months unless an exemption applies.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also qualify as micro-entities under the accounting framework, but dormancy and micro-entity status are not the same thing. Eligibility depends on factors such as the company's size, turnover, balance sheet totals and number of employees for the relevant period. Where a dormant company qualifies, it may be able to use the micro-entity reporting framework, but that decision should be made with reference to the applicable requirements and after confirming the company's legal structure and accounting period.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If a company fails to file its annual accounts with Companies House by the statutory deadline for its accounting period, it may face late-filing penalties. Dormant status does not automatically protect the company from this outcome. The amount of any penalty and whether an appeal is possible will depend on the circumstances and Companies House rules. Filing the outstanding accounts as soon as possible is important, but it does not automatically remove a penalty if one has already been issued.

Can you help prepare dormant accounts for a company that has never traded?

Yes. A company that has been incorporated but has not yet started trading can often be dormant if it has no significant accounting transactions. We can prepare dormant company accounts and file them with Companies House, helping ensure the company meets its filing obligations while it is not yet active. We can also review whether any other compliance steps are needed, such as confirmation statement or Corporation Tax matters, subject to the company's circumstances.
