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.

 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 Company Accounts?

A company is not automatically dormant just because it has had no sales, no employees or no current trading activity. For Companies House purposes, a company is generally considered dormant if it has had no significant financial transactions within the accounting period. However, this can depend on the company’s own circumstances and the applicable accounting rules. Even where a company is dormant, it may still need to file its annual accounts and submit a confirmation statement to Companies House. HMRC uses a separate test for Corporation Tax dormancy, and filing dormant accounts does not automatically tell HMRC that a company is dormant. With dormant company accounts, the format and submission requirements differ from those for an active company, but the obligations remain. We can review your company’s position and explain whether dormant accounts are appropriate, and what other steps are needed to stay compliant.

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 statutory annual accounts filed with Companies House for a limited company that is dormant during the relevant accounting period. They show that the company has had no significant accounting transactions. Depending on the company’s circumstances, different reporting formats may be available – for example, some qualifying dormant companies may use the micro-entity framework. Dormant accounts are still a filing requirement and do not mean a company can ignore its statutory obligations.

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

Yes, in most cases. Dormant status does not remove the requirement to file annual accounts, and a specific exemption must apply for filing to be avoided. Even where the accounts are simpler, they must still be prepared and submitted by the company’s statutory deadline. A dormant company will usually need to send accounts to Companies House, along with other filings such as a confirmation statement where due.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies also qualify as micro-entities under the Companies Act, which means they can prepare accounts under the micro-entity reporting framework, such as FRS 105. However, micro-entity status depends on separate criteria, not dormancy alone. We assess eligibility on a case-by-case basis and use the correct framework for your company.

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

Companies House and HMRC have their own dormancy rules. A company may be dormant for Companies House if it has had no significant accounting transactions, while HMRCu2019s test for Corporation Tax dormancy is separate. If HMRC considers a company to be dormant for Corporation Tax, it may be possible to stop filing Corporation Tax Returns once HMRC confirms that no return is required. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically update HMRC, and directors should check both positions separately.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes, in most circumstances. A confirmation statement is not a set of accounts – it is a Companies House filing that confirms the company’s registered details, such as directors and shareholders, are up to date. Even a dormant company generally needs to submit a confirmation statement at least once a year. We can help ensure your confirmation statement is filed correctly.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

We will need details such as the company name, registered office, director and shareholder information, the accounting reference period and confirmation that there have been no significant transactions. If the company has previously been active, we may also need prior-year accounts for comparison. The process is straightforward, and we will provide a clear checklist when you instruct us.

Can you help with overdue dormant company accounts in Bishops Castle?

Yes. If your company has missed a filing deadline, late accounts can cause penalties and affect your company’s record at Companies House. We can prepare the outstanding dormant company accounts and file them as soon as possible. We will also explain any penalties that have been issued and whether there are grounds to appeal, based on your specific circumstances.
