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 Prepare Dormant Company Accounts in Birstall?

A company may be considered dormant for Companies House purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. This might apply to a company that has not yet started trading, has stopped trading, or is a holding company retained for future use. However, dormancy is not simply about having no sales – it depends on the nature of the transactions and the relevant accounting and Companies House rules. Even if a company is dormant for Companies House purposes, it may still need to file annual accounts and a confirmation statement. Being dormant for Companies House does not automatically mean a company is dormant for Corporation Tax, so it is important to review the company’s HMRC position separately before assuming all filing obligations cease.

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 annual accounts prepared for a limited company that is dormant for Companies House purposes. They show that the company has had no significant accounting transactions during the reporting period, apart from any permitted exceptions. Dormant accounts must still be prepared in accordance with Companies House requirements and filed by the applicable deadline, unless a specific exemption applies.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. A dormant company is not automatically exempt from filing annual accounts with Companies House. The filing requirement depends on the company's size and eligibility for exemptions. Even a non-trading company must generally file dormant accounts and submit a confirmation statement each year. If you are unsure whether an exemption applies, we can review your company's circumstances.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also qualify as micro-entities under the Companies Act, but dormancy and micro-entity status are separate. A dormant company that meets the micro-entity criteria can use the simplified reporting framework, such as FRS 105, but not every dormant company automatically qualifies. We can help determine the correct reporting framework based on your company's eligibility and filing obligations.

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

Companies House and HMRC use different definitions and processes for dormancy. A company may be dormant for Companies House purposes but still be within the scope of Corporation Tax. For a company to be treated as dormant for Corporation Tax, HMRC must be notified and agree that the company does not need to file Corporation Tax Returns, subject to specific conditions. Filing dormant company accounts with Companies House does not automatically inform HMRC about the company's tax position.

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

Yes. A confirmation statement is a separate filing sent to Companies House to confirm that the company's registered information is up to date. Filing dormant company accounts does not replace the confirmation statement. Dormant companies generally must still file a confirmation statement every 12 months, even if there are no changes to the company's details.

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

This depends on the company's Corporation Tax status. If HMRC has confirmed that the company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes and that no returns are required, then the company may not need to file further CT600 returns. However, if the company has not been notified to HMRC or is still active for Corporation Tax, it may still need to submit a return for each accounting period. We can help review your company's HMRC position and arrange the appropriate notification where applicable.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

Late filing of dormant company accounts can result in automatic penalties from Companies House. The amount of the penalty depends on how late the accounts are filed and the company's circumstances. Filing accounts late does not remove the need to file them, and dormant status does not automatically protect a company from penalties. If your accounts are already overdue, it is important to bring the filing up to date as soon as possible. We can assist with preparing and filing the outstanding accounts, and we can also discuss options for a penalty appeal where the circumstances allow.

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

Yes. A company that has never traded may still be required to file dormant company accounts if it is incorporated and not eligible for an exemption. Even if there has been no business activity, Companies House records and filing obligations still apply. We can help prepare the necessary dormant accounts, file them correctly, and keep your company compliant from the start.
