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 Accounts?

A company may be able to file dormant accounts if it has not had any significant accounting transactions during the accounting period. For Companies House purposes, certain limited transactions, such as payments for shares or statutory filing fees, may not prevent a company from being dormant. However, dormancy is not determined simply by a lack of sales or trading activity. A company with no turnover may still be active in other ways, so the relevant accounting and Companies House rules should be reviewed carefully. It is also important to understand that being dormant for Companies House purposes does not automatically mean the company is dormant for Corporation Tax with HMRC. Likewise, filing dormant accounts does not remove the separate obligation to file a confirmation statement or to consider whether any Corporation Tax obligations remain.

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 company that is dormant for Companies House accounting purposes. They show that the company has had no significant accounting transactions in the period and meet the applicable filing requirements. Filing dormant accounts does not mean the company can ignore its obligations entirely – the accounts must still be prepared and submitted to Companies House where required.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes is generally still required to deliver annual accounts to Companies House unless a specific exemption applies. The filing deadline depends on the company’s circumstances, but dormancy does not remove the need to file. If you are unsure whether your company qualifies for an exemption, it is wise to seek professional advice.

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

Companies House and HMRC use different definitions of dormancy. A company can be dormant for Companies House because it has no significant accounting transactions, while still being active for Corporation Tax purposes. Conversely, a company may be treated as dormant for Corporation Tax but still need to file accounts at Companies House. Always check both sets of rules carefully or get professional guidance.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes, usually. A confirmation statement is a separate filing made to Companies House, and it is required for most companies, even dormant ones. The confirmation statement updates the company’s registered information, such as directors, shareholders and registered office. Filing dormant accounts does not replace the requirement to submit a confirmation statement.

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

It depends on the company’s Corporation Tax position. If a company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes and HMRC has confirmed that it no longer needs to file returns, then no further CT600 may be required. However, you cannot assume this automatically happens just because the company is dormant or because you have filed dormant accounts with Companies House. HMRC should be notified separately if you believe the company is dormant for Corporation Tax.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If required dormant accounts are not filed by the applicable deadline, Companies House may impose late-filing penalties. The penalty amount depends on how late the accounts are and the company’s filing history. Filing dormant accounts promptly is therefore important. If you have overdue accounts, seeking professional help quickly can be the best way to get back on track.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

Typically, your accountant will need details of any transactions during the period, such as share issues or filing fees, and confirmation that the company has had no other significant activity. They will also require the company’s registered number, confirmation of directors and shareholders, and the accounting period dates. If you are unsure what counts as a significant transaction, an accountant can review the company’s circumstances.

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

Yes. If your company has missed a filing deadline, we can review the situation and prepare the necessary dormant company accounts so they can be submitted as soon as possible. We can also discuss confirmation statement requirements and any Corporation Tax issues that may need attention. We cannot guarantee that penalties will be waived, but we can help you resolve the outstanding filing.
