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 Prepare Dormant Company Accounts?

A company may be considered dormant for accounting purposes when it has no significant accounting transactions during the period. This often applies to companies that have not yet started trading, have stopped trading, are holding companies, or are retained for future use. However, dormancy is not simply about having no sales or being inactive—it depends on the relevant rules and your company’s circumstances. Being dormant for Companies House does not automatically exempt you from filing annual accounts or a confirmation statement. Similarly, HMRC’s dormancy rules for Corporation Tax are separate and may require you to notify HMRC or continue submitting Corporation Tax Returns, depending on your position. We can help you understand whether dormant company accounts are appropriate and what your ongoing obligations are.

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 annual accounts prepared for a company that has no significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. They are filed with Companies House where required. Despite the simplified nature of these accounts, a dormant company still has a statutory duty to prepare and file accounts if it does not qualify for an exemption. The exact form and content depend on the company’s eligibility and the applicable reporting framework.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, generally a dormant company still needs to file its annual accounts with Companies House unless a specific exemption applies. Dormancy for Companies House purposes does not remove the requirement to file accounts. The accounts will usually show that the company was dormant during the period, but they must still be prepared and submitted by the applicable deadline. We can assist with preparing and filing the required accounts.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may qualify as micro-entities and can use the micro-entity reporting framework, but this is not automatic. Eligibility depends on factors such as the company’s turnover, balance sheet total and number of employees, as well as whether the company is within the micro-entity thresholds. Dormancy and micro-entity status are separate concepts. We can review your circumstances to determine which reporting framework applies to your dormant company.

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

The definitions and requirements are different. A company can be dormant for Companies House purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions, but HMRCu2019s dormancy rules for Corporation Tax depend on whether the company is also dormant for tax purposes. Filing dormant company accounts with Companies House does not automatically tell HMRC that the company is dormant. If your company is dormant for Corporation Tax, it may need to notify HMRC and may not need to file further Corporation Tax Returns once HMRC confirms this is no longer required. We can help you understand the distinction and comply with both obligations.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes, filing dormant company accounts does not replace the confirmation statement. A dormant company generally still needs to submit a confirmation statement to Companies House each year and keep its registered details up to date. The confirmation statement is a separate return that confirms company information such as directors, shareholders and registered office. Failure to file it can lead to penalties or action from Companies House.

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

That depends on whether HMRC considers the company dormant for Corporation Tax purposes. If the company has notified HMRC and been confirmed as dormant for Corporation Tax, it may not need to submit further Corporation Tax Returns. However, if the company remains within the Corporation Tax regime or HMRC has not accepted dormancy, it may still need to file a Corporation Tax Return (CT600) for each accounting period. We can advise on your specific obligations and assist with any necessary notifications or returns.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If required dormant company accounts are not filed by the statutory deadline, the company may face late-filing penalties from Companies House. Dormant status does not automatically protect you from these penalties. If accounts are overdue, you should file them as soon as possible and consider whether an appeal is appropriate. Appeals are only successful in limited circumstances. Filing the outstanding accounts is always necessary because paying a penalty does not remove the filing obligation. We can help you bring your dormant company accounts up to date.

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

Yes, we often help companies that have not yet started trading or that have never traded to prepare dormant company accounts. Provided the company meets the relevant dormancy conditions, it can file accounts showing no significant transactions. Even if the company has never traded, it may still have filing obligations such as annual accounts and a confirmation statement. We can prepare the accounts and ensure they are filed correctly with Companies House.
