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 Your Company File Dormant Company Accounts?

Dormant Company Accounts are generally appropriate when a company has no significant accounting transactions during the relevant accounting period. This can include companies that have not yet started trading, companies that have stopped trading, or companies that are being kept for a future purpose. However, dormancy is not simply the same as having low turnover or no sales; it depends on the nature of the company’s activities and the applicable rules at Companies House and HMRC. Even if your company is dormant for Companies House purposes, it may still need to file annual accounts each year, and a confirmation statement will normally be required to keep your company’s records current. Being dormant for Companies House does not automatically make the company dormant for Corporation Tax either, as HMRC has its own definitions and expectations. We can review your circumstances and help you determine whether Dormant Company Accounts are the right route for your company in Bristol.

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 accounts prepared for a company that meets the dormancy conditions under the Companies Act. They are filed with Companies House and show that the company has had no significant accounting transactions during the period. Even a dormant company usually needs to file these accounts unless a specific exemption applies.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. Dormant Company Accounts must still be prepared and filed with Companies House by the applicable deadline, unless the company qualifies for an exemption. Dormancy does not remove the annual filing requirement, and filing late can lead to penalties.

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

Companies House and HMRC use separate definitions of dormancy. A company may be dormant for Companies House purposes if it has no significant accounting transactions, but HMRC's Corporation Tax dormancy conditions are different. If HMRC does not consider the company dormant, it may still need to file Corporation Tax Returns. It is important to notify HMRC separately if you believe the company is dormant for Corporation Tax.

Does a dormant company still need a confirmation statement?

Yes, dormancy does not remove the requirement to file a confirmation statement. A dormant company must keep its information on the Companies House register up to date and submit a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months, unless it is exempt.

Can a dormant company use the micro-entity reporting framework?

Some dormant companies may also qualify as micro-entities, but dormancy and micro-entity status are not the same thing. If your company meets the micro-entity criteria, it may be able to prepare micro-entity accounts. We can help you confirm which framework applies to your company's circumstances.

What information do I need to prepare Dormant Company Accounts?

To prepare Dormant Company Accounts, we generally need details of your company's registered office, directors, shareholders and any recent changes. We may also need confirmation of the company's balance sheet position, including share capital and any existing assets or liabilities. If the company has never traded, we will need the details from incorporation and any movements since then.

Can you help with overdue Dormant Company Accounts in Bristol?

Yes. If your dormant company has missed the Companies House filing deadline, we can help bring your accounts up to date and guide you through the filing process. Late-filing penalties may apply, and we cannot guarantee that they will be cancelled or reduced, but we can review your situation and help you remedy the non-compliance.

What if my company has never traded? Will you prepare dormant accounts?

Yes, if the company qualifies as dormant. A company that has not yet started trading and has no significant accounting transactions may be able to prepare Dormant Company Accounts. We will check the company's record and the applicable rules before making any filing.
