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 Are Dormant Company Accounts Required?

A company is not automatically dormant simply because it has had no sales, no employees or no activity. Under the Companies Act 2006, a company is usually considered dormant for Companies House purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions during the period. This includes most companies that have not yet started trading, have stopped trading, or are holding companies with no income or expenditure. However, dormancy is not a blanket exemption from filing annual accounts. A dormant company may still need to file its annual accounts with Companies House, and it generally also remains responsible for keeping its confirmation statement up to date. Separately, HMRC operates its own dormancy rules for Corporation Tax, so being dormant for Companies House does not automatically mean the same for tax purposes. We can help you understand your obligations based on your company’s individual position.

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 company that is dormant for accounting purposes. They are filed with Companies House and must meet the applicable requirements under company law. Even though the company has not had significant accounting transactions, the accounts still need to be prepared and submitted on time if the company is not exempt.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, generally speaking. Unless a specific exemption applies, a dormant company still needs to file its annual accounts with Companies House. Dormant status does not remove this obligation. There are simplified reporting options for some dormant companies, but filing is still required. We can confirm what applies to your company.

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

Companies House and HMRC use different tests for dormancy. Being dormant for Companies House is based on the company's accounting transactions, while being dormant for Corporation Tax depends on whether the company has any Corporation Tax obligations and whether HMRC has agreed that no CT600 returns are needed. You can be dormant for one and not the other. It is important to notify HMRC separately if your company ceases trading or becomes dormant for tax purposes, and to file accounts with Companies House as required.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may be able to use the micro-entity reporting framework if they satisfy the qualifying conditions, such as being a micro-entity under the Companies Act. However, not all dormant companies are micro-entities, and dormancy does not automatically mean the company qualifies. We can review your eligibility and prepare accounts on the correct framework.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes, unless an exemption applies, a dormant company typically still needs to submit a confirmation statement to Companies House every year. The confirmation statement is separate from the annual accounts, and filing dormant accounts does not replace it.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, we generally need details of the company, including its registered office, directors, shareholders, and any transaction history. Even if the company has no significant transactions, we need to confirm that no activity has occurred during the accounting period. The accounts must be approved by the directors and signed before filing. We will guide you through what is required.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

Companies House may issue a late-filing penalty if the accounts are submitted after the statutory deadline. Dormant status does not automatically protect a company from these penalties. If you have missed a deadline, it is important to file the outstanding accounts as soon as possible and consider whether a reasonable excuse appeal may apply. We can assist in bringing your filing up to date.
