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.

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 in Bexhill-on-sea File Dormant Company Accounts?

A company may be considered dormant for accounting purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. This can include companies that have not yet started trading, have stopped trading, are holding companies, or are retained for future use. However, dormancy is not simply the absence of sales or current trading; it depends on the specific rules and your company’s individual circumstances. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes may still need to file annual accounts and a confirmation statement, unless a specific exemption applies. It is also important to distinguish between dormancy for Companies House and dormancy for HMRC Corporation Tax purposes, as the two are separate. We can review your situation and advise on whether dormant company accounts are appropriate for your Bexhill-on-sea 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.

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 accounting purposes. They are filed with Companies House where required, meeting specific statutory reporting obligations. Being dormant means the company has no significant accounting transactions in the period, but it does not mean the company can ignore its responsibilities to file accounts. The exact requirements depend on the company's circumstances and eligibility for any reporting exemptions.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts with Companies House?

In most cases, yes. A company that is dormant for Companies House purposes generally still needs to file annual accounts, unless a specific exemption applies. Dormant status does not remove the requirement to file the applicable accounts. The form and content of those accounts will depend on whether the company qualifies for a particular reporting framework, such as micro-entity accounts. Our team can confirm the appropriate filing obligation for your dormant company in Bexhill-on-sea.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also qualify as micro-entities and can therefore use the micro-entity reporting framework. However, dormancy and micro-entity status are not the same thing, and eligibility depends on factors such as the company's size, legal structure, and accounting period. We can review your company's position to determine whether the micro-entity accounting framework applies and prepare the relevant accounts accordingly.

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

Companies House and HMRC have separate definitions and filing regimes. A company may be dormant for Companies House purposes because it has no significant accounting transactions. For Corporation Tax, HMRC has its own dormancy criteria, and a company may need to notify HMRC and possibly stop filing Corporation Tax Returns once HMRC confirms this is no longer required. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically tell HMRC that the company is dormant for tax purposes.

Does a dormant company still need to submit a confirmation statement?

Yes, a confirmation statement is separate from dormant company accounts. Even if a company is dormant, it generally still needs to keep its information up to date at Companies House and submit a confirmation statement when required. Filing dormant accounts does not replace the confirmation statement. We can help with both filing obligations for your dormant company in Bexhill-on-sea.

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

It depends on HMRC's rules and the company's Corporation Tax position. If HMRC has agreed that the company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes, it may not need to file further Corporation Tax Returns once a return is no longer required. If HMRC has not agreed, the company may still need to file a CT600 or notify HMRC of dormancy. This is separate from preparing dormant annual accounts for Companies House, and the circumstances must be reviewed carefully.

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

Yes, we can assist if the company has never traded and is dormant for accounting purposes. A company that has not started trading and has no significant accounting transactions may be able to file dormant accounts. However, it is important to check that all other filing obligations, such as the confirmation statement and any applicable Corporation Tax requirements, are considered. We can help you understand what is required and prepare the necessary documents for Companies House.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

Dormant companies are not automatically protected from late-filing consequences. If the required accounts are not filed by the deadline, Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty. The penalty amount depends on how late the accounts are filed and the company's specific circumstances. Paying a penalty does not remove the obligation to file the outstanding accounts. If you have missed a deadline, we can help you bring your filing up to date and advise on any appeal options that may apply.
