 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.

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 in Cathays File Dormant Accounts?

A company is not dormant simply because it has no sales or is not currently trading. Dormancy for Companies House purposes depends on whether the company has had any significant accounting transactions during the relevant period. Companies that have not yet started trading, have stopped trading, or are retained for future use may be able to file dormant company accounts if they meet the applicable criteria. However, filing dormant accounts does not automatically remove the requirement to file annual accounts or a confirmation statement, as these are separate obligations under company law. In addition, being dormant for Companies House does not necessarily mean the company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes with HMRC. The rules and tests differ, so it is important to review your company’s individual circumstances. We can help you confirm whether dormant company accounts are appropriate and which other filing duties may still apply.

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 annual accounts that an eligible dormant company prepares and files with Companies House. They are typically shorter than a full set of accounts and are designed to reflect that the company has had no significant accounting transactions during the period. Even if a company is dormant, it must still meet the relevant Companies House filing requirements. In some cases, a dormant company may qualify for the micro-entity reporting framework, depending on its size and eligibility.

Does a dormant company still need to file accounts?

Yes, in most cases. Dormant company status does not remove the need to file annual accounts with Companies House, unless a specific exemption applies. The requirement depends on the company's circumstances and the applicable rules. A dormant company should still prepare the required accounts and submit them by the statutory deadline to avoid late-filing consequences. We can help confirm whether your company is required to file dormant accounts and handle the submission for you.

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

Companies House and HMRC use separate tests for dormancy. A company may be dormant for Companies House purposes because it has no significant accounting transactions, but HMRC may still expect Corporation Tax obligations to be considered. If a company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes, HMRC may not require future Corporation Tax Returns once it has been notified and has confirmed this. Filing dormant accounts with Companies House does not automatically notify HMRC. It is important to review the company's Corporation Tax position separately.

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

Not necessarily, but it depends on the company's position. If the company is dormant for Corporation Tax purposes and HMRC has been notified, it may not need to file further Corporation Tax Returns once HMRC confirms this. However, a company that has other income, chargeable gains or ongoing tax obligations may still need to submit a return. We can assist with understanding whether any Corporation Tax filings are required and can help coordinate with your accountant or tax adviser.

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

Yes, a confirmation statement is separate from dormant company accounts. Even if the company is dormant, it generally still needs to file a confirmation statement with Companies House each year to confirm that its registered details are correct. This includes information about directors, shareholders, registered office and other statutory records. Filing dormant accounts does not replace the confirmation statement requirement.

What happens if dormant company accounts are filed late?

Late filing of dormant company accounts can result in a late-filing penalty from Companies House. The penalty amount depends on how late the accounts are filed and the company's individual circumstances. Dormant status does not automatically protect a company from penalties. If accounts are late, the outstanding accounts still need to be filed. In some cases, a late-filing penalty appeal may be possible depending on the reasons and the applicable rules. We can advise on how to bring filing up to date.

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

Yes. If your company has missed filing deadlines, we can help you bring your dormant company accounts up to date with Companies House. This involves preparing the outstanding accounts and submitting them promptly. We can also review any penalties or correspondence from Companies House and advise on the available options. Each situation is different, so we will consider the specific circumstances before recommending next steps.
