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 File Dormant Company Accounts?

A company is generally treated as dormant for accounting purposes when it has no significant accounting transactions during the period. This can include a newly incorporated company that has not begun trading, a company that has stopped trading, or a holding company that only holds assets and has no significant activity. However, dormancy is not simply about having no sales or no current trade; it depends on the applicable Companies House rules and the company’s specific circumstances. Even when a company is dormant for Companies House purposes, it must still file the required annual accounts unless a specific exemption applies. It may also need to keep its confirmation statement up to date and, depending on its Corporation Tax position with HMRC, notify HMRC or continue to meet any relevant tax obligations. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically end your Corporation Tax responsibilities. We can help you understand the differences and decide what needs to be done.

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 has been dormant during the accounting period. For Companies House purposes, a company may be dormant if it has no significant accounting transactions. These accounts are prepared to meet the statutory filing requirement and are submitted to Companies House where required.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. Being dormant for Companies House purposes does not remove the requirement to file annual accounts. The company must file the required accounts by its statutory deadline unless a specific exemption applies. A dormant company also remains responsible for keeping its information up to date and filing a confirmation statement when required.

Can a dormant company file micro-entity accounts?

Some dormant companies may also qualify as micro-entities under Companies House rules, in which case they may be able to use the applicable micro-entity reporting framework. However, not all dormant companies automatically qualify, and dormancy and micro-entity status are separate matters. Eligibility depends on the company's size, structure and accounting period. We can review your company's position and advise accordingly.

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

Companies House and HMRC apply different tests for dormancy. A company can be dormant for Companies House purposes but still be active for Corporation Tax in HMRC's view. To be dormant for Corporation Tax, the company must notify HMRC and meet the relevant conditions. Once HMRC confirms that Corporation Tax Returns are no longer needed, the company may have fewer ongoing obligations. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically update HMRC.

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

Generally, yes. A confirmation statement is a separate filing made to Companies House, and it is required at least once every 12 months. It confirms the company's registered office, directors, shareholders and other details. Filing dormant company accounts does not replace the confirmation statement, which must be submitted as required.

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

It depends on the company's Corporation Tax position. If the company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes and HMRC has confirmed that no further returns are required, it may not need to file. Otherwise, the company may need to submit a Corporation Tax Return (normally Form CT600) even if it has not been trading. It is important to understand HMRC's requirements separately from Companies House dormancy.

What information is needed to prepare dormant company accounts?

To prepare dormant company accounts, we typically need details of the company's registered office, directors, shareholders and any share capital transactions, along with the accounting period dates. If the company has had no significant transactions, the accounts will reflect its dormant status. We also need to confirm which filing framework applies, such as micro-entity accounts if eligible. We'll guide you on the information required.

Can you help bring overdue dormant company accounts up to date?

Yes, we can assist companies that have missed their filing deadline. If there are outstanding dormant company accounts, we can help prepare and submit them to Companies House as soon as possible. Companies House may issue late-filing penalties for overdue accounts, and these are not automatically waived for dormant companies. Any appeal will depend on the circumstances and the applicable rules. We can review your position and discuss the options available.
