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 in Berkhamsted?

A company may be considered dormant for Companies House purposes when it has no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. However, dormancy is not simply about having no sales or no employees. Even if your company has never traded, you may still need to prepare and file annual accounts. Dormant company accounts are the statutory accounts prepared for a dormant company and must meet applicable Companies House requirements. Being dormant does not automatically remove the need to file accounts or submit a confirmation statement. There is also an important distinction between being dormant for Companies House and being dormant for HMRC Corporation Tax purposes. HMRC uses its own rules and may require Corporation Tax Returns depending on your company’s circumstances. We can help you understand your obligations and prepare the necessary documents for your Berkhamsted company.

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 company that is dormant during the accounting period. They are filed with Companies House under the applicable rules and are separate from any Corporation Tax Return submitted to HMRC. Even when a company has no significant accounting transactions, a set of dormant accounts may still be required.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes. Most dormant companies are still required to file annual accounts with Companies House, unless a specific exemption applies. Dormancy does not remove the obligation to deliver statutory accounts. The accounts must meet the filing requirements for dormant companies, and the directors remain responsible for ensuring they are filed on time.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

A dormant company may be able to use the micro-entity reporting framework if it qualifies as a micro-entity under the relevant criteria. Dormancy and micro-entity status are separate, so we will need to review your company's circumstances before deciding whether micro-entity accounts or dormant accounts are appropriate. We can assist companies based in Berkhamsted and across the UK.

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

Companies House and HMRC use different definitions of dormancy. A company may be dormant for Companies House but still have Corporation Tax obligations. HMRC must be notified if a company believes it is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes, and even then the obligations can depend on the company's circumstances. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically notify HMRC.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes, a dormant company generally still needs to submit a confirmation statement to Companies House at least once every 12 months. The confirmation statement is separate from the annual accounts and confirms that the company's registered information is accurate. Dormant status does not remove the need to keep company records up to date.

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

Not necessarily. A company that is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes may not need to file further Corporation Tax Returns once HMRC has confirmed that returns are no longer required. However, you should not assume this applies without notifying HMRC and receiving confirmation. Your company's circumstances will determine whether a CT600 is required.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If a dormant company files its annual accounts late, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty. Dormant status does not automatically protect a company from penalties. If you have missed a filing deadline, it is important to bring the filing up to date as soon as possible. We can help prepare the overdue accounts, although we cannot guarantee that a penalty will be waived or reduced.
