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.

Special thanks to Muhammad Saifullah for his assistance.

 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 Berkshire Company File Dormant Company Accounts?

A company may be able to file Dormant Company Accounts if it meets the relevant dormancy tests under the Companies Act and has no significant accounting transactions during the period. This could include a company that has not yet started trading, one that has stopped trading, or a holding company that is not otherwise active. However, dormancy is not automatic simply because there are no sales or low activity — the specific rules and your company’s circumstances determine eligibility. Even where a company is dormant for Companies House purposes, it is still usually required to file annual accounts and may need to submit a confirmation statement. In addition, dormancy for Companies House is separate from dormancy for Corporation Tax with HMRC. Filing dormant accounts does not automatically tell HMRC that your company is dormant for tax purposes, and your Corporation Tax obligations depend on your company’s own position. We can review your situation and help you determine what filings are required.

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 the annual accounts prepared for a company that is dormant for Companies House accounting purposes. They are typically prepared in a simplified form and show that the company had no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. Even though the accounts are simplified, a dormant company must still file them with Companies House by the applicable deadline unless a specific exemption applies.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. A company that is dormant still has a statutory obligation to file annual accounts with Companies House unless it qualifies for an exemption. Dormancy does not remove the filing requirement, and failing to file can lead to late-filing consequences. Our accountants can confirm what filing obligations apply to your particular company.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may qualify to file micro-entity accounts if they meet the micro-entity size criteria under UK company law. Dormancy and micro-entity status are separate matters, so not every dormant company will automatically qualify. We can review your company's eligibility and prepare the correct type of accounts for its circumstances.

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

Being dormant for Companies House purposes means your company has had no significant accounting transactions and you are required to file dormant accounts with Companies House. Being dormant for Corporation Tax purposes means your company may be exempt from filing Corporation Tax Returns after notifying HMRC, but that is a separate process. The two definitions are not automatically linked, and filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not inform HMRC about your company's tax position.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes. A confirmation statement is a separate filing with Companies House that confirms your company's registered information, such as its directors, registered office and shareholders. This is required at least once every 12 months, even for dormant companies. Filing dormant accounts does not replace the need to submit a confirmation statement.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

If a dormant company fails to file its annual accounts by the statutory deadline, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty. The amount of the penalty depends on how late the accounts are, and dormancy does not automatically protect the company. Paying a penalty does not remove the obligation to file the outstanding accounts. If you have a reasonable excuse, an appeal may be possible, but it depends on the specific circumstances.

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

Yes. If your Berkshire company has missed filing deadlines for dormant accounts, we can help bring the position up to date. We will review your company's history, prepare the outstanding accounts where possible, and assist with the required Companies House filings. Addressing overdue accounts promptly can help avoid further penalties, and we can advise on the best course of action based on your situation.
