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.

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 Alton Hampshire?

A company may be able to file dormant company accounts if it has had no significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. Whether your company qualifies depends on its exact circumstances and the relevant rules set by Companies House and, where applicable, HMRC. It is important to understand that being dormant for Companies House purposes is not the same as being dormant for Corporation Tax purposes. Even a dormant company will usually still need to file its statutory accounts with Companies House, unless a specific exemption applies, and it may still need to submit a confirmation statement and keep its registered details up to date. Dormancy does not mean that filing obligations disappear, and a company does not become dormant simply because it has no sales or has never traded.

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.

─── FAQs

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 limited company that has no significant accounting transactions during the relevant accounting period. They are filed with Companies House where required. Companies in Alton Hampshire often file dormant accounts when they have not yet started trading, have stopped trading, or are being kept as a holding company or for future use. However, dormancy is not automatic simply because a company is not trading, and you should seek advice before assuming that filing dormant accounts is appropriate.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts with Companies House?

Yes, in most cases. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes is generally still required to file annual accounts unless a specific exemption applies. Dormant company accounts are separate from any Corporation Tax position with HMRC. Our team can help you prepare and file the necessary accounts on time, and we will work with you to understand your company's specific obligations.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also qualify as micro-entities under the Companies House framework and may therefore be able to use the simplified micro-entity reporting requirements. However, dormancy and micro-entity status are not the same thing, and eligibility depends on your company's size, legal structure and other criteria. We can review your circumstances and confirm whether the micro-entity reporting framework is available for your dormant company.

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

Companies House uses one definition of dormancy, while HMRC applies separate rules for Corporation Tax purposes. A company may be dormant for Companies House because it has no significant accounting transactions, yet HMRC may still expect a Corporation Tax Return unless it has been notified of dormancy and HMRC has agreed that returns are no longer required. Filing dormant company accounts with Companies House does not automatically update HMRC or remove Corporation Tax obligations. We can help you understand both sets of rules and what applies to your company.

Does a dormant company still need to submit a confirmation statement?

Yes, a confirmation statement is separate from dormant company accounts and is usually still required each year. It confirms that the company's registered office, directors, shareholders and other key details are accurate and up to date. Even if your company is dormant, you must keep Companies House informed and file the confirmation statement when it is due. We can assist with preparing and filing your confirmation statement alongside any other necessary documents.

What information do I need to provide for dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, we typically need details of the company's registered number, directors, shareholders and any prior accounts or submission deadlines. We also check whether there have been any significant transactions during the period. In some cases, a company may have had small administrative activities, such as filing fees, that affect its dormancy status. Our accountants will guide you through exactly what is needed, and we can gather information directly from Companies House where appropriate.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If dormant company accounts are not filed by the applicable deadline, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty. Dormant status does not automatically protect a company from such penalties, and the amount can vary depending on how late the accounts are. If you have already missed a filing deadline or received a penalty notice, we can help you bring your filing up to date and explain your options, although we cannot guarantee that a penalty will be reduced or cancelled.

Can you help bring overdue dormant company accounts up to date?

Yes. If you have outstanding dormant company accounts in Alton Hampshire, we can review your company's filing history and prepare any missing accounts for submission to Companies House. Bringing accounts up to date may help prevent further late-filing consequences and gives you an accurate picture of your company's position. We will also check whether there are any confirmation statements or Corporation Tax obligations that need attention.

Take the Uncertainty Out of Dormant Company Accounts

Company directors in Alton Hampshire often tell us that the most stressful part of running a dormant company is uncertainty about what still has to be filed with Companies House and HMRC. Micro Entity Accounts can help you prepare dormant company accounts, file your confirmation statements, and advise on any Corporation Tax obligations that may remain. Our professional accountants are regulated by ICAEW, ACCA and AAT, and we work with a simple fixed-fee approach so you know where you stand.
