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 You File Dormant Company Accounts in Bedfordshire?

A company in Bedfordshire may be able to file dormant company accounts if it meets the definition of dormancy under the Companies Act 2006 – usually by having no significant accounting transactions during the period. Examples include companies that have not yet begun trading, have stopped trading, or are holding companies with no trading activity. However, having no sales or no customers does not, by itself, make a company dormant. Dormancy for Companies House purposes is also separate from dormancy for Corporation Tax purposes with HMRC. Importantly, a dormant company usually still has to deliver annual accounts to Companies House and submit confirmation statements. We can assess your company’s individual position and confirm which filings apply.

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 annual accounts prepared for a company that meets the dormancy criteria under the Companies Act. They must be filed with Companies House unless a specific exemption applies. Although dormant accounts are usually simpler than full accounts, they still need to follow the correct legal format and show the company's financial position at the end of the accounting period. An eligible dormant company may use the micro-entity framework if it qualifies.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, generally. A dormant company normally still needs to file dormant accounts with Companies House each year. Dormancy does not remove the legal obligation to deliver accounts. The content will depend on the company's status and any exemptions available. In addition, the company may still need to file confirmation statements and, for Corporation Tax purposes, deal with HMRC separately.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Many dormant companies also meet the size criteria for micro-entities, but this is not automatic. A company may be dormant but not satisfy all the micro-entity conditions, or it may be a micro-entity but not dormant. If a dormant company does qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, it may prepare accounts using FRS 105, according to the applicable requirements. We review eligibility before deciding the appropriate reporting framework.

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

Companies House and HMRC look at different factors. Dormancy for Companies House relates to whether the company has significant accounting transactions. Dormancy for Corporation Tax purposes depends on whether the company is trading, receiving income, or otherwise within the charge to Corporation Tax. A company can be dormant for Companies House but still need to notify HMRC of its Corporation Tax position. Similarly, a company can be dormant for Corporation Tax but still required to file annual accounts with Companies House.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes, in most cases. A confirmation statement is a separate Companies House filing from dormant accounts. It is used to keep company information up to date, such as directors, registered office and shareholders. Dormancy does not remove this requirement. If you are not sure when your confirmation statement is due, our filing reminder process can help you stay on top of it.

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

Not necessarily. If a company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes and HMRC has confirmed that it no longer needs to file Corporation Tax Returns, then none may be due. However, filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically tell HMRC that the company is dormant. If your company has been active for Corporation Tax or HMRC has not been contacted, you may still need to file a CT600 or notify HMRC of your company's dormant status. We can advise based on your exact circumstances.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

Companies House can impose late-filing penalties on dormant companies, just as it can on active companies. The level of penalty depends on how late the accounts are delivered. A penalty does not take away the need to file the outstanding accounts. If you have missed a deadline, we can help you prepare and file your dormant accounts as soon as possible and, where the facts support it, guide you on the process for appealing a penalty.

Can you help if my company has never traded?

Yes. A company that has never traded, such as a newly incorporated or shelf company, can often be treated as dormant for accounting purposes. You will still need to file accounts with Companies House from the date of incorporation. We can prepare and file dormant accounts for such companies in Bedfordshire, ensuring the statutory obligations are met without unnecessary expense.
